The failure to predict the surge in inflation in 2021 raises questions about whether we are better equipped to … anticipate a future decline in inflation. What tools do we intend to use for predicting the trajectory of inflation? Are we still … primarily relying on survey data regarding inflation expectations, and are we still employing a Calvo-type structure to model …

We propose a model that reconciles microeconomic evidence of frequent and large price changes with sizable monetary non-neutrality. Firms incur separate lump-sum costs to change prices and to gather and process some information about marginal costs. Additional relevant information is...

In this study, we analyze the relationship between inflation and economic growth. To this end, we construct a model of … endogenous growth with creative destruction, incorporating sticky prices due to menu costs. Inflation and deflation reduce the … maximize the rate of economic growth by setting their target inflation rate at the negative of a fundamental growth rate that …

We use microdata to estimate the strength of price selection - a key metric for the effect of monetary policy on the real economy. We propose a product-level proxy for mispricing and assess whether products with larger mispricing respond with a higher probability to identified monetary and...

In … response to large cost-push shocks, optimal policy leverages the lower sacrifice ratio to reduce inflation and stabilize the …

We estimate the effects of monetary policy on price-setting behavior in administrative micro data underlying the German producer price index. After expansionary monetary policy, the increase in the frequency of price change is economically small, the average absolute size across all price...
