On household labour supply in sticky-wage HANK models
Gerke, Rafael; Giesen, Sebastian; Lozej, Matija; … - 2024 - November 24, 2023
Heterogeneous-agent New Keynesian models with sticky nominal wages usually assume that wage-setting unions demand the same amount of hours from all households. As a result, unions do not take account of the fact that (i) households are heterogeneous in their willingness to work, and that (ii)...

Rebalancing the euro area : is wage adjustment in Germany the answer?
Hoffmann, Mathias; Kliem, Martin; Krause, Michael; … - 2020
We assess to what extent wage inflation policies in Germany could contribute to an economic rebalancing in the euro area and the rest of the world. We find that a rise in nominal wage inflation has positive short-run effects on inflation and output in Germany and the rest of the euro area. The...

Monetary policy rules under bounded rationality
Dobrew, Michael; Gerke, Rafael; Kienzler, Daniel; … - 2023
We study the welfare performance of various simple monetary policy rules under bounded rationality (BR) along the lines of Gabaix (2020) in a New Keynesian model with sticky wages and an effective lower bound (ELB) on interest rates. Policy strategies with a strong history dependence lose their...

Hitting the elusive inflation target
Bianchi, Francesco; Melosi, Leonardo; Rottner, Matthias - 2021
Since the 2001 recession, average core inflation has been below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. This deflationary bias is a predictable consequence of a symmetric monetary policy strategy that fails to recognize the risk of encountering the zero-lower-bound. An asymmetric rule according to...

Learning monetary policy strategies at the effective lower bound with sudden surprises
Krane, Spencer David; Melosi, Leonardo; Rottner, Matthias - 2023
We examine how private sector agents might learn a new monetary strategy that is adopted while at the ELB. Little can be discovered until the economy improves enough that rates would be near liftoff under the old strategy. Recessionary shocks would thus delay learning while large inflationary...
