Abbritti, Mirko; Consolo, Agostino - 2022
This paper analyses how labour market heterogeneity affects unemployment, productivity and business cycle dynamics that are relevant for monetary policy. The model matches remarkably well the short and long run dynamics of skilled and unskilled workers. Skill mismatch and skill-specific labour...

Sequential bargaining in a new-Keynesian model with frictional unemployment and staggered wage negotiation
De Walque, Gregory; Pierrard, Olivier; Sneessens, Henri R. - 2009
We consider a model with frictional unemployment and staggered wage bargaining where hours worked are negotiated every period. The workers' bargaining power in the hours negotiation affects both unemployment volatility and inflation persistence. The closer to zero this parameter, (i) the more...

Credit risk transfers and the macroeconomy
Faia, Ester - 2010
The recent financial crisis has highlighted the limits of the "originate to distribute" model of banking, but its nexus with the macroeconomy and monetary policy remains unexplored. I build a DSGE model with banks (along the lines of Holmström and Tirole [28] and Parlour and Plantin [39]) and...

Labor market institutions and the business cycle : unemployment rigidities vs. real wage rigidities
Abbritti, Mirko; Weber, Sebastian - 2010
This paper investigates the importance of labor market institutions for inflation and unemployment dynamics. Using the New Keynesian framework we argue that labor market institutions should be divided into those institutions that cause Unemployment Rigidities (UR) and those that cause Real Wage...

On implications of micro price data for macro models
Mac'kowiak, Bartosz; Smets, Frank - 2008
We review the recent literature that studies new, detailed micro data on prices. We discuss implications of the new micro data for macro models. We argue that the new micro data are helpful for macro models, but not decisive. There is no simple mapping from the frequency of price changes in...
