Bargain, Olivier (contributor); Orsini, Kristian (contributor) - 2006
Social assistance and inactivity traps have long been considered amongst the main causes of the poor employment performance of EU countries. The success of New Labour has triggered a growing interest in instruments capable of combining the promotion of responsibility and self-sufficiency with...

Monetary persistence and the labor market : a new perspective
Lechthaler, Wolfgang (contributor);  … - 2008
It is common knowledge that the standard New Keynesian model is not able to generate a persistent response in output to temporary monetary shocks. We show that this shortcoming can be remedied in a simple and intuitively appealing way through the introduction of labor turnover costs (such as...

Labor turnover costs, workers' heterogeneity, and optimal monetary policy
Faia, Ester; Lechthaler, Wolfgang; Merkl, Christian - 2009
We study the design of optimal monetary policy in a New Keynesian model with labor turnover costs in which wages are set according to a right to manage bargaining where the firms' counterpart is given by currently employed workers. Our model captures well the salient features of European labor...

Nominal wage rigidities in a new Keynesian model with frictional unemployment
Bodart, Vincent; De Walque, Gregory; Pierrard, Olivier; … - 2006

Monetary persistence, imperfect competition, and staggering complementarities
Merkl, Christian (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper explores the influence of wage and price staggering on monetary persistence. We show that, for plausible parameter values, wage and price staggering are complementary in generating monetary persistence. We do so by proposing the new measure of "quantitative inertia," after discussing...

Real wage rigidities and the cost of disinflations
Ascari, Guido (contributor); Merkl, Christian (contributor) - 2007
This paper analyzes the cost of disinflations under real wage rigidities in a micro-founded New Keynesian model. The consensus is that real wage rigidities can be a useful mechanism to induce the inflation persistence that is absent in the standard Calvo model. Real wage rigidities thus generate...

Macroeconomic volatilities and the labor market : first results from the euro experiment
Merkl, Christian; Schmitz, Tom - 2010
This paper analyzes the effects of different labor market institutions on inflation and output volatility. The eurozone offers an unprecedented experiment for this exercise: since 1999, no national monetary policies have been implemented that could account for volatility differences across...
