Money illusion and the long-run Phillips curve in staggered wage-setting models

We consider the effect of money illusion - defined referring to Stevens' ratio estimation function - on the long-run Phillips curve in an otherwise standard New Keynesian model of sticky wages. We show that if agents under-perceive real economic variables, negative money non-superneutralities will become more severe. On the contrary, if agents over-perceive real variables, positive money superneutralities will arise.
