This paper compares the welfare effects of anticipated and unanticipated cost-push shocks within the canonical New Keynesian model with optimal monetary policy. We find that, for empirically plausible degrees of nominal rigidity, the anticipation of a future cost-push shock leads to a higher...

This paper provides a survey of the recent literature about firing costs and discusses the transmission channels of … firing costs in a partial equilibrium context. In addition, we expand our analysis two types of firing costs in a New …-respecting the bonding critique. We find that the two types of firing costs do not show significant differences.

Empirical evidence indicates that lay-off costs consist of two elements, namely firing costs and severance payments …. This paper investigates business cycle and steady state effects of firing costs and severance payments and discusses the … differences.
