stochastic general equilibrium models with nominal price rigidities. While the focus is on Calvo-style nominal price contracts … with a range of indexation rules for constrained price setters, the conclusions have much wider validity: (1) Regardless of … whether nominal price and/or wage rigidities are due to New-Keynesian, Old-Keynesian or sticky-information Phillips curves …

We analyse the adjustment of retail and services prices in a period of low inflation, using a set of individual price … data from the German Consumer Price Index that covers the years 1998 to 2003. We strong find evidence of time- and state …-dependent price adjustment. Most importantly, the differences in quot;unconditionalquot; sectoral price flexibility are found to be …

We provide new evidence on price rigidity at the product level based on microdata underlying the Swiss consumer price … index from 2008 to 2020. We find that the frequency of price changes has increased over the last decade, particularly among … products where collection switched to online prices, reflecting the rise of e-commerce. Furthermore, price changes tend to be …

In this paper we argue that both statistics and economic theory-based evidence largely indicate the absence of long run relationships between the real output and the most relevant monetary indicator for the U.K. and the U.S, short term interest rates. These findings are not only a full sample...

This paper compares the welfare implications of two widely used pricing assumptions in the New-Keynesian literature: Calvo-pricing vs. Rotemberg-pricing. We show that despite the strong similarities between the two assumptions to a first order of approximation, in general they might entail...

This paper presents a model in which price setting firms decide what to pay attention to, subject to a constraint on … absolute size of price changes observed in micro data, prices react fast and by large amounts to idiosyncratic shocks, but …

We propose a monetary model in which the unemployed satisfy the official US definition of unemployment: they are people without jobs who are (i) currently making concrete efforts to find work and (ii) willing and able to work. In addition, our model has the property that people searching for...
