摘要:This paper develops a model to explain price stickiness to nominal shocks. It is the first model to allow two-sided general shocks. In an international environment, a firm that sells in its domestic market and abroad faces a stochastic exchange rate and menu costs. We obtain significant stickiness with very small menu costs. With exchange rate variance of 10% p.a., the exchange rate can fluctuate 25% without the firm having to adjust prices. An optimal control problem is solved whereby the fir...

摘要:This paper evaluates empirically the relative importance of monetary and fiscal versus technology shocks in an open economy characterized by perfect international capital mobility. The variance-covariance matrix of these shocks is estimated. A stochastic model is used to perform numerical simulations. The results show that persistent shocks to productivity can reproduce several empirical regularities (including the puzzling high correlation between national saving and investment) remarkably we...
