Monetary persistence and the labor market : a new perspective

Lechthaler, Wolfgang (contributor); … - 2008

that the employment rate is slow to converge to its steady state value after a monetary shock. The after-effects of a shock … continue to exert an effect on the labor market even long after the shock is over. The sluggishness of the labor market … translates to the product market and thus the output effects of the monetary shock become more persistent. Under reasonable …

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...

The role of real wage rigidity and labor market frictions for unemployment and inflation dynamics

Christoffel, Kai (contributor); Linzert, Tobias (contributor) - 2005

cycle model. In particular, we analyze the effect of a monetary policy shock and investigate how labor market frictions … persistent movements of aggregate inflation. Moreover, the impact of a monetary policy shock on unemployment and inflation …

Distributional effects of monetary policy in emerging market economies

Prasad, Eswar S.; Zhang, Boyang - 2015

We develop a two-sector, heterogeneous-agent model with incomplete financial markets to study the distributional effects and aggregate welfare implications of alternative monetary policy rules in emerging market economies. Relative to inflation targeting, exchange rate management benefits...

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...

Hyperbolic discounting and positive optimal inflation

Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - 2011

The Friedman rule states that steady-state welfare is maximized when there is deflation at the real rate of interest. Recent work by Khan et al (2003) uses a richer model but still finds deflation optimal. In an otherwise standard new Keynesian model we show that, if households have hyperbolic...

Oil price shocks, monetary policy and current account imbalances within a currency union

Baas, Timo; Belke, Ansgar - 2017

trade result in an asymmetric reaction to an otherwise symmetric shock. In this context, we show that oil price shocks can …

Causal effects of monetary shocks : semiparametric conditional independence tests with a multinomial propensity score

Angrist, Joshua D. (contributor); … - 2008

Macroeconomists have long been concerned with the causal effects of monetary policy. When the identification of causal effects is based on a selection-on-observables assumption, non-causality amounts to the conditional independence of outcomes and policy changes. This paper develops a...

Uniform and nonuniform staggering of wage contracts

Danziger, Leif - 2010

This paper provides a model that can account for the almost uniform staggering of wage contracts in some countries as well as for the markedly nonuniform staggering in others. In the model, short and long contracts as well as long contracts concluded in different periods are strategic...
