Abstract
In this paper, we derive a generalized version of New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model to study how real imperfections of labor market affect the steady state and dynamics of model given different non-zero annual target inflation rates. The main finding is that, given the same target inflation rate, wage stickiness is more distortionary than the price stickiness. The existence of positive target inflation rate can also change the first-order dynamics of model, amplifying or reducing the dynamic response of model according to the type of exogenous shocks. A relatively high target inflation rate, 2% or 3%, may be preferable to a zero target inflation rate.
期刊介绍:
Journal of International Commerce, Economics and Policy (JICEP) is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish high-quality research papers that explore important dimensions of the global economic system (including trade, finance, investment and labor flows). JICEP is particularly interested in potentially influential research that is analytical or empirical but with heavy emphasis on international dimensions of economics, business and related public policy. Papers must aim to be thought-provoking and combine rigor with readability so as to be of interest to both researchers as well as policymakers. JICEP is not region-specific and especially welcomes research exploring the growing economic interdependence between countries and regions.
