This paper argues that there is a nonzero inflation-unemployment tradeoff in the long-run due to frictional growth, a … unemployment. Hence, we estimate an interactive dynamics model for the US that includes wage-price setting and labour market … equations. We then evaluate the inflation-unemployment tradeoff and assess the impact of productivity, money growth, budget …

The conventional wisdom that inflation and unemployment are unrelated in the long-run implies the compartmentalisation … of macroeconomics. While one branch of the literature models inflation dynamics and estimates the unemployment rate … compatible with inflation stability, another one determines the real economic factors that drive the natural rate of unemployment …

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...

We build quadratic labor adjustment costs into an otherwise standard New-Keynesian model of the business cycle and show that this increases output persistence in a similar vein as other models of labor market frictions. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that quadratic labor adjustment costs imply...
