The role of real wage rigidity and labor market frictions for unemployment and inflation dynamics
Christoffel, Kai; Linzert, Tobias - 2006
In this paper we incorporate a labor market with matching frictions and wage rigidities into the New Keynesian business cycle model. In particular, we analyze the effect of a monetary policy shock and investigate how labor market frictions affect the transmission process of monetary policy. The...
