We use a standard sticky-price model to provide evidence on three mechanisms that can reconcile somewhat frequent price changes with large and persistent real effects of monetary shocks. To that end, we estimate a semi-structural model for the U.S. economy that allows for varying degrees of real...

This paper provides evidence on three mechanisms that can reconcile frequent individual price changes with sluggish aggregate price dynamics. To that end, we estimate a semi-structural model that allows us to extract information about real rigidities and the distribution of price stickiness from...
