This paper analyses the importance of real wage rigidities, in particular through their interaction with price stickiness, for optimal monetary policy in a calibrated small open economy DSGE model including oil in production and consumption. Blanchard and Galí (2007a) show real rigidities to introduce a trade-off between stabilising inflation and the welfare-relevant output gap. The present pap...

Abstract Managers consider environmental uncertainty in making decisions. Accordingly, this study aims to test the positive effect of on cost stickiness. This also investigates effects stickiness under different strategies. Further, firms need more able managers deal with uncertain environments. observes when have varying levels managerial ability. We run panel regression analysis 23,298 firm‐y...

Nathanson and Savitsky (1952) were the first to study platelet adhesiveness in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (60 in all). Increased adhesiveness was found in the groups of patients with acute exacerbations or a fluctuating course: the average 'adhesive index' for the stationary group was within the normal range. More recently two preliminary communications were published on the sam...

In this paper, we analyze the implications of price setting restrictions for the conduct of cyclical fiscal and monetary policy. We consider standard monetary economies that differ in the price setting restrictions imposed on the firms. We show that independently of the degree or type of price stickiness it is possible to implement the same efficient set of allocations, and that each allocation...

New Keynesian models have been criticised on the grounds that they require implausibly large price shocks to explain inflation. Bils et al. (2012) show that, while these shocks are needed to reduce the excessive inflation persistence generated by the models, they give rise to unrealistically volatile reset price inflation. This paper shows that introducing heterogeneity in price stickiness in t...

How to attract players has been of interest to practitioners, online game designers and game site constructors. The objective of this research is to explore factors that effect stickiness in online game communities. This study applies social cohesion theory, social identity theory and motivational theory to propose a research model. Structural equation modeling results indicate that stickiness ...
