By making use of a hazard function we derive a hybrid New Keynesian Wage Phillips curve (NKWPC) that is able to account for in‡ation persistence. This approach relies on the assumption that the probability to change a wage is a positive function of the time elapsed from last reset. By using...

We derive and estimate a small-scale DSGE model augmented with price and wage adjustment governed by a time-dependent mechanisms. Byusing positively sloping hazard functions, we micro-found price and wage inflation intrinsic persistence, as we derive price and wage Phillips curves characterized...
