Wage Setting in Times of High and Low Inflation
Gödl, Maximilian; Gödl-Hanisch, Isabel - 2024
The recent surge in inflation led many unions and firms to alter their bargaining and wage-setting policies. Using novel German firm-level survey data, we document the extent of state dependence in wage setting across firms and workers during periods of high and low inflation. We find state...

Endogenous Product Adjustment and Exchange Rate Pass-Through
Freitag, Andreas; Lein, Sarah - 2022
We document how product quality responds to exchange rate movements and quantify the extent to which these quality changes affect the aggregate pass-through into export prices. We analyze the substantial sudden appreciation of the Swiss franc post removal of the 1.20-CHF-per-euro lower bound in...

Pass-Through of Cost-Push Shocks
Gödl-Hanisch, Isabel; Menkhoff, Manuel - 2023
This paper examines the pass-through of cost-push shocks to customers at a granular level. Using unique firm-level survey data, we document five facts about pass-through across firms, sectors, and over time. We highlight a new channel relevant for pass-through: beliefs about the expected...

A Theory of Price Adjustment under Loss Aversion
Ahrens, Steffen; Pirschel, Inske; Snower, Dennis J. - 2014
We present a new partial equilibrium theory of price adjustment, based on consumer loss aversion. In line with prospect … theory, the consumers' perceived utility losses from price increases are weighted more heavily than the perceived utility … an otherwise standard dynamic neoclassical model of monopolistic competition. The resulting theory of price adjustment is …

Hyperbolic discounting and positive optimal inflation
Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - 2011
The Friedman rule states that steady-state welfare is maximized when there is deflation at the real rate of interest. Recent work by Khan et al (2003) uses a richer model but still finds deflation optimal. In an otherwise standard new Keynesian model we show that, if households have hyperbolic...

Globalisation and the Decoupling of Inflation from Domestic Labour Costs
Kohlscheen, Emanuel; Moessner, Richhild - 2021
We provide novel systematic cross-country evidence that the link between domestic labour markets and CPI inflation has weakened considerably in advanced economies during recent decades. The central estimate is that the short-run pass-through from domestic labour cost changes to core CPI...
