On the Stability of Calvo-style Price-setting Behavior
An increasing literature has been concerned that the dynamics of the economy keeps switching and that, in particular, it is important to allow time variation in the degree of Calvo stickiness. We investigate this with a Markov-switching Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model and show that there is little gain when allowing for such time variation. As a result we recommend to use a constan...
متن کاملThe Effects of Exchange Rate changes and Fluctuations on Price-Setting in Manufacturing Sector: Applying Price Micro Data
This paper uses monthly price indices of 448 items of manufacturing sector in 2004:4 to 2016:01, to study the effect of exchange rate and its volatilities on price setting behavior of manufacturing sectors. Given that, many manufacturing sectors in Iran need to import raw materials, intermediate and capital goods in their production process, it is expected that exchange rate variations affect p...
متن کاملPrice Setting in Iran: Some Stylized Facts from CPI Micro Data
Understanding the degree of price stickiness and the nature of price setting is necessary for analyzing the effects of monetary policy on economy. To the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive study has examined the degree of price stickiness in Iran yet. For this reason, we examine the basic features of retail price setting behavior using a large data set containing the micro data underly...
متن کاملEvaluating Calvo-Style Sticky Price Models∗
This paper assesses the empirical performance of Calvo-style sticky goods price models. We argue that Calvo-style models in which firms update non-reoptimized prices to lagged inflation are consistent with the aggregate data in a statistical sense. We then investigate whether these models imply plausible degrees of inertia in price setting behavior by firms. We find that these model do, but onl...
متن کاملSectoral price data and models of price setting∗
We use a statistical model to estimate impulse responses of sectoral price indices to aggregate shocks and to sector-specific shocks. In the median sector, 100 percent of the long-run response of the sectoral price index to a sector-specific shock occurs in the month of the shock. The Calvo model and the sticky-information model match this finding only under extreme assumptions concerning the p...
