[PDF] Menu costs, multi-product firms, and aggregate fluctuations

[PDF] from nyu.edu
V Midrigan - Manuscript, New York University, 2006 - files.nyu.edu
Abstract Golosov and Lucas have recently argued that a menu cost model, when made
consistent with salient features of the micro-data, predicts approximate monetary neutrality. I
argue here that their model misses, in fact, two important features of the data. First, the ...

[BOOK] Sales and the real effects of monetary policy

[PDF] from minneapolisfed.org
PJ Kehoe, V Midrigan… - 2007 - minneapolisfed.org
In the data, a sizable fraction of price changes are temporary price reductions referred to as
sales. Existing models include no role for sales. Hence, when confronted with data in which a
large fraction of price changes are sales related, the models must either exclude sales ...

Prices are sticky after all

[PDF] from nyu.edu
PJ Kehoe… - 2010 - nber.org
Recent studies say prices change every four months. Economists have interpreted this high
frequency as evidence against the importance of sticky prices for the monetary transmission
mechanism. Theory implies that if most price changes are regular, as they are in the ...

Inventories, lumpy trade, and large devaluations

[PDF] from philadelphiafed.org
G Alessandria, J Kaboski… - 2008 - nber.org
Fixed transaction costs and delivery lags are important costs of international trade. These
costs lead firms to import infrequently and hold substantially larger inventories of imported
goods than domestic goods. Using multiple sources of data, we document these facts. We ...

Temporary price changes and the real effects of monetary policy

[PDF] from frb.org
PJ Kehoe… - 2008 - nber.org
In the data, prices change both temporarily and permanently. Standard Calvo models focus
on permanent price changes and take one of two shortcuts when confronted with the data:
drop temporary changes from the data or leave them in and treat them as permanent. We ...

Inventories, markups, and real rigidities in menu cost models

[PDF] from nyu.edu
O Kryvtsov… - 2009 - nber.org
Real rigidities that limit the responsiveness of real marginal cost to output are a key
ingredient of sticky price models necessary to account for the dynamics of output and
inflation. We argue here, in the spirit of Bils and Kahn (2000), that the behavior of marginal ...

ABSTRACT The classic explanation for the persistence and volatility of real exchange rates
is that they are the result of nominal shocks in an economy with sticky goods prices. A key
implication of this explanation is that if goods have differing degrees of price stickiness ...
