The acceleration of productivity since 1995 has prompted a debate over whether the economy's underlying growth rate … identify variables other than productivity - namely consumption and labor compensation - to help estimate trend productivity … direction. In addition, we find that productivity data alone provide insufficient evidence of regime changes; corroborating …

We estimate the macroeconomic benefits and international spillovers of an increase in competition using a general-equilibrium simulation model with nominal rigidities and monopolistic competition in product and labor markets. We draw three conclusions after calibrating the model to the euro area...

"Restaurant prices in the Euro area saw an unprecedented increase after the introduction of the Euro. We use an extension of commonly used models of sticky prices and argue that the increase in restaurant prices can be explained by menu costs. The extension we use involves the state-dependent...

We study the implications of increased price flexibility on aggregate output volatility in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. First, using a simplified version of the model, we show analytically that the results depend on the shocks driving the economy and the systematic...
