Real wage rigidities and the cost of disinflations: A comment on Blanchard and Galí
Ascari, Guido; Merkl, Christian - 2007
This paper analyzes the cost of disinflation under real wage rigidities in a micro-founded New Keynesian model. Unlike Blanchard and Galí (2007) who carried out a similar analysis in a linearized framework, we take non- linearities into account. We show that the results change dramatically,...

Monetary persistence and the labor market: A new perspective
Lechthaler, Wolfgang; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2010
In this paper we propose a novel way to model the labor market in the context of a New-Keynesian general equilibrium model; incorporating labor market frictions in the form of hiring and firing costs. We show that such a model is able to replicate many important stylized facts of the business...

Monetary persistence and the labor market: A new perspective
Lechthaler, Wolfgang; Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2008
It is common knowledge that the standard New Keynesian model is not able to generate a persistent response in output to temporary monetary shocks. We show that this shortcoming can be remedied in a simple and intuitively appealing way through the introduction of labor turnover costs (such as...
