A Unified framework for using micro-data to compare dynamic wage and price setting models
Dixon, Huw - 2010
This paper develops a statistical framework of steady-state identities which enable us to match the distributions of durations found in the micro-data to generalized Taylor and Calvo models of time-dependent pricing. We illustrate the approach with the UK micro CPI data for 2006-2009, and employ...

Optimal stabilization policy with flexible prices
Berentsen, Aleksander (contributor);  … - 2005
We construct a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model to study optimal monetary stabilization policy. Prices are fully flexible and money is essential for trade. Our main result is that if the central bank pursues a long-run price path, thereby controlling inflation expectations, it can...

Monetary policy and nominal rigidities under low inflation
Holden, Steinar - 2001
In most European countries, money wages are given in collective agreements or individual employment contracts, and the employer cannot unilaterally cut wages, even after the expiration of a collective agreement. Ceteris paribus, workers have a stronger bargaining position when they try to...

Monetary policy and the relative price of durable goods
Cantelmo, Alessandro; Melina, Giovanni - 2015
In a VAR model of the US, the response of the relative price of durables to a monetary contraction is either flat or mildly positive. It significantly falls only if narrowly defined as the ratio between new house and nondurables prices. These findings survive three identification strategies and...

A theory of price adjustment under loss aversion
Ahrens, Steffen; Pirschel, Inske; Snower, Dennis J. - 2014
We present a new partial equilibrium theory of price adjustment, based on consumer loss aversion. In line with prospect … theory, the consumers' perceived utility losses from price increases are weighted more heavily than the perceived utility … an otherwise standard dynamic neoclassical model of monopolistic competition. The resulting theory of price adjustment is …

Can fiscal policy help macroeconomic stabilisation? : evidence from a New Keynesian model with liquidity constraints
Muscatelli, V. Anton; Tirelli, Patrizio; Trecroci, Carmine - 2004
This paper derives a New Keynesian dynamic general equilibrium model with liquidity- constrained consumers and sticky prices. The model allows a role for both government spending and taxation in the DGE model. The model is then estimated using US data. We demonstrate that there seems to be a...

Estimated general equilibrium models for the evaluation of monetary policy in the US and Europe
Leith, Campbell B.; Malley, James R. - 2002
A persistent criticism of general equilibrium models of monetary policy which incorporate nominal inertia in the form of the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) is that they fail to capture the extent of inflation inertia in the data. In this paper we derive a general equilibrium model based on...

Some evolutionary foundations for price level rigidity
Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2002
This paper shows that price rigidity evolves in an economy populated by imperfectly rational agents who experiment with alternative rules of thumb. In the model, firms must set their prices in face of aggregate demand shocks. Their payoff depends on the level of aggregate demand, as well as on...
