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 …

A model of firm-level optimal pricing under stochastic inflation and fixed costs of adjusting prices is solved and … characterized. In this model, inflation alternates stochastically between some positive rate g and zero inflation. We find that a … different (s,S) band for each state of the world, with the zero-inflation band wholly contained in the positive-inflation band …

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 characterize optimal state-dependent pricing rules under various forms of infrequent information. In all models, infrequent price changes arise from the existence of a lump-sum 'menu cost.' We entertain various alternatives for the source and nature of infrequent information. In two benchmark...
