This paper shows how endogeneous inflation inertia is generated by a simple modificaton of the quadratic adjustment … cost structure faced by economic agents. We derive the pertinent inflation relationships based on purely nominal rigidities …

what I call a micro Phillips curve, i.e. a product-specific relation between inflation and economic activity conditional on … inflation expectations. I find two opposing effects of competition on the slope of the micro Phillips curve. On the one hand … weak competition. In line with the theory, prices of products, that face very strong competition, are also less likely to …

This paper empirically compares sticky-price and sticky-information Phillips curves considering inflation dynamics in … moments of inflation. Under baseline calibrations, the two models perform similarly in almost all countries. Under estimated … unconditional moments of inflation dynamics better while sticky information is more successful in matching co-movement of inflation …

The objective of this paper is to provide an optimizing model of wage and price setting consistent with U.S. data. The paper first investigates the predictions of an optimizing labor supply model for the aggregate nominal wage, taking as given the evolution of prices and quantities. In this part...
