We show this sensitivity is much too great to trigger eductive coordination in a world of hyper-rational agents, who are en...

We argue that Calvo-style models in which firms update non-reoptimized prices to lagged inflation are consistent with the aggregate data in a statistical sense. We then investigate whether these models imply plausible degrees of inertia in price setting behavior by firms. We find that these model do, but onl...

A major criticism of standard specifications of price adjustment in business cycle models for monetary policy is that they violate the natural rate hypothesis by allowing output to differ from potential in steady state. In this paper we estimate a dynamic optimizing business cycle model whose price-setting behavior satisfies the natural rate hypothesis. The price-adjustment specifications we co...

I consider the implications of several nominal interest rate rules and show that...
