In this paper we formulate a baseline disequilibrium AS-AD model and empirically estimate it with time series data for the US-economy. The version of the model used here exhibits a Phillips-curve, a dynamic IS curve and a Taylor interest rate rule. It is based on sticky wages and prices, perfect foresight of current inflation rates and adaptive expectations concerning the inflation climate in w...

Hybrid New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) has been widely used in monetary policy literature (e.g. Gali and Gertler, 1999) as it contains both forward-looking and backward-looking components and therefore fits the data well. A typical backward-looking part of price setting behavior assumes that firms use the previous period’s price. In this paper, we propose a generalized version of the hybrid...

In this paper an open economy model of the New Keynesian Phillips Curve incorporating three different factors of production, domestic labor and imported as well as domestically produced intermediate goods, is developed and estimated for 9 euro area countries and the euro area aggregate. This general model nests existing closed economy and open economy models as special cases. We find that struc...

In this empirical paper, we take a close look at the impact of observed changes in the product market regulation, which raises barriers to entry and empediments to competition, on inflation dynamics since the early 1980s. We use an enlarged new Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) allowing for entry of firms and for increasing competitive pressures with the number of firms and non zero trend inflati...

FEMES2006, seminar participants at the Universities of Auckland, Otago and Manchester, for useful comments, with particular thanks to Peter Phillips and Donggyu Sul for their constructive suggestions. All responsibility for errors and omissions lies, however, with the authors. Abstract The New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) model of inflation dynamics based on forward-looking expectations is o...

This paper examines the nexus between money, output and inflation in the United States during the period from 1974 to 2010. The theoretical framework is underpinned by a new Classical–Keynesian synthesis view of inflation, expectations and money growth with the incorporation of a number of neglected areas of contention. The empirical model is based on the error-correction representation of a VA...

Abstract In this paper, the effect of foreign sector macro-variable on inflation dynamics and firms’ pricing behavior has been investigated in the context of a small open economy New Keynesian Phillips Curve. This curve is derived and estimated for a developing oil-exporting economy suffering from Dutch Disease. This version of NKPC is an extension of Leith and Malley’s (2007) small open econom...
