Monetary persistence and the labor market : a new perspective
Lechthaler, Wolfgang; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2010
In this paper we propose a novel way to model the labor market in the context of a New-Keynesian general equilibrium model, incorporating labor market frictions in the form of hiring and firing costs. We show that such a model is able to replicate many important stylized facts of the business...

Berger, Helge; Hefeker, Carsten - 2004
The pending enlargement of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has brought to the fore the discussion of the voting right distribution in the European Central Bank (ECB) council. We show that, in a model where labor unions internalize the inflationary consequences of wage setting, deviating from a...

Firm heterogeneity, capital misallocation and optimal monetary policy
González, Beatriz; Nuño, Galo; Thaler, Dominik; … - 2021
We analyze monetary policy in a New Keynesian model with heterogeneous firms and financial frictions. Firms differ in their productivity and net worth and face collateral constraints that cause capital misallocation. TFP endogenously depends on the time-varying distribution of firms. Although a...
