This paper examines the impact of downward wage rigidity (nominal and real) onoptimal steady-state inflation. For this … purpose, we extend the workhorse model ofErceg, Henderson and Levin (2000) by introducing asymmetric menu costs for … andFinland). The calibrated heterogeneous agent models are then solved for differentsteady state rates of inflation to derive …
