Endogenous Price Stickiness and Business Cycle Persistence

Author

  • Kiley, Michael T

Abstract

Sticky prices help generate persistent output fluctuations in response to aggregate demand shocks. This paper develops a model in which price stickiness is endogenous and generates persistent output fluctuations. Since the degree of price stickiness should be lower in high-inflation economies, output persistence should also be lower in high-inflation economies. Estimation of the model, as well as simple autocorrelations of detrended real output, suggest that, indeed, output fluctuations about trend are less persistent in high-inflation economies.
