Sticky Prices, Sticky Information or Rational Inattention? Evaluating Microfoundations
This paper evaluates competing sets of microfoundations on firms’ price-setting behaviour widely used in monetary economics. The contribution of this project is twofold. The first contribution is to use as inflation driver a relevant measure of marginal cost from wage microdata. To that end, I calculate the User Cost of Labor as in Basu and House (2016) for the first time in a different dataset...
متن کاملOptimal Monetary Policy under Sticky Prices and Sticky Information∗
A wrong model can lead to a wrong conclusion. The failure to capture inflation dynamics has made the standard New Keynesian framework of monetary policy analysis prone to such a critique. In this paper, we investigate optimal monetary policy using a model that can capture the observed inflation persistence. The model, which we call the dual stickiness model, integrates sticky prices and sticky ...
متن کاملOptimal time-consistent monetary and fiscal policy under sticky prices
This paper studies optimal monetary and fiscal policy in a stochastic economy with sticky prices and monopolistic competition on its product markets. Our main objective is to characterize optimal time-consistent (Markov) policies and to compare their characteristics to the ones implemented by a Ramsey policy maker. We perform this comparison within the framework of a stochastic production econo...
متن کاملOptimal fiscal and monetary policy under sticky prices
This paper studies optimal fiscal and monetary policy under sticky product prices. The theoretical framework is a stochastic production economy without capital. The government finances an exogenous stream of purchases by levying distortionary income taxes, printing money, and issuing one-period nominally risk-free bonds. The main findings of the paper are: First, for a miniscule degree of price...
متن کاملBusiness Cycle Dynamics under Rational Inattention∗
This paper studies a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with rational inattention. Decisionmakers have limited attention and choose the optimal allocation of their attention. We study the implications of rational inattention for business cycle dynamics. For example, we study how rational inattention affects impulse responses of prices and quantities to monetary policy shocks, aggregat...
