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...

Reiter, Michael; Wende, Adrian - 2024

We propose a generalized Rotemberg pricing scheme which is able to explain important aspects of the observed nonlinear behavior of price adjustment at the macroeconomic level, such as higher pass-through in response to larger shocks, a positive impact of trend inflation on price flexibility, and...

Heterogeneity in staggered wage bargaining and unemployment volatility puzzle

Kara, Engin; Park, Yongmin - 2017
