The paper shows how prolonged price inertia can arise in a macroeconomic system in which there are temporary price rigidities as well as production lags in the use of intermediate goods. In this context, changes in product demand -- generated, say, by changes in the money supply -- have...

The Paper extends Woodford’s (2000) analysis of the closed economy Phillips curve to an open economy with both commodity trade and capital mobility. We show that consumption smoothing, which comes with the opening of the capital market, raises the degree of strategic complementarity among...

The Paper derives an open economy New-Keynesian Phillips curve. The Phillips curve depends on growth in the domestic economy excess capacity, differential growth between foreign output and domestic output, and on the surprise depreciation of the real exchange rate. The Paper provides new...

This paper models Chinese inflation using an output gap Phillips curve. Inflation modelling for the world’s sixth … curve for China and show that the output gap, the exchange rate, and inflation expectations play important roles in … explaining inflation. We adjust for structural change in the economy where possible and estimate regressions for rolling sample …

from disturbances to the money market, the variance of output is shown to be an increasing function of the trend inflation … inflation rate. When both disturbances are significant, there exists, in general, a critical non-zero trend inflation rate that …

How and why do financial conditions matter for real outcomes? The ‘workhorse model of money and liquidity’ of Kiyotaki and Moore (2008) shows how--with full employment maintained by flexible prices--shifting credit constraints can affect investment and future aggregate supply. We show that,...

We examine the dynamics of US output and inflation using a structural time varying coefficient VAR. We show that there … are changes in the volatility of both variables and in the persistence of inflation. Technology shocks explain changes in … volatility of inflation. We detect changes over time in the transmission of technology shocks and in the variance of technology …

The New-Keynesian aggregate supply derives from micro-foundations an inflation-dynamics model very much like the … tradition in the monetary literature. Inflation is primarily affected by: (i) economic slack; (ii) expectations; (iii) supply … shocks; and (iv) inflation persistence. This Paper extends the New Keynesian aggregate supply relationship to include also …

We examine monetary policy in the euro area from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. We discuss what theory tells us the strategy of Central banks should be and contrasts it with the one employed by the ECB. We review accomplishments (and failures) of monetary policy in the euro area...

We calibrate a standard New Keynesian model with three alternative representations of monetary policy- an optimal timeless rule, a Taylor rule and another with interest rate smoothing- with the aim of testing which if any can match the data according to the method of indirect inference. We find...
