We analyze the welfare cost of inflation in a model with cash-in-advance constraints and an endogenous distribution of … establishments' productivities. Inflation distorts aggregate productivity through firm entry dynamics. The model is calibrated to the … United States economy and the long-run equilibrium properties are compared at low and high inflation. We find that, when the …

We introduce search unemployment à la Pissarides into Melitz’ (2003) model of trade with heterogeneous firms. We allow wages to be individually or collectively bargained and analytically solve for the equilibrium. We find that the selection effect of trade influences labor market outcomes....
