Identifying the Role of Labor Markets for Monetary Policy in an Estimated DSGE Model
Christoffel, Kai; Kuester, Keith; Linzert, Tobias - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006
We focus on a quantitative assessment of rigid labor markets in an environment of stable monetary policy. We ask how wages and labor market shocks feed into the inflation process and derive monetary policy implications. We structurally model matching frictions and rigid wages in line with an...

Danthine, Samuel; Auray, Stéphane - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2005
This paper aims at analyzing the welfare effects of allowing different levels of flexibility in the choice of the numbers of hours worked (part-time, full-time, extra-time). To do so we consider a setting with bargaining frictions, partially indivisible labor, heterogeneous agents and firms, and...
