In this paper we analyze the incidence of the distribution of price changes on the inflation rate of Spanish regions (1994-2001).Especially,we pay attention to the role of variability and skewness.The methodology applied is based on the menu cost models developed by Ball and Mankiw.In general,we...

This paper analyses the effects of supply shocks on the Spanish inflation rate. The methodology applied is based on Ball and Mankiw (1995). These authors assume that a good proxy for supply shocks is the third moment of the distribution of price changes, and show that nominal rigidities imply a...

In this work we centre on the menu cost models of new keynesian economics and, more concretely, on the empirical testing line proposed by Ball and Mankiw (1994, 1995), authors that confront in a monopolistic competition model the explanation of why a shock that affects relative prices also...

This paper analyzes the relationship between inflation and relative price variability, in the direction of the latter, in two countries with very different inflationary experiences: Argentina and Spain. To address this objective, using disaggregated price indexes (Wholesale Price Index for...

In this article we offer new evidence on the problem of Andalusian unemployment differential. We use a SVAR model with unemployment, vacancies and labor force as variables, considering three types of shocks: reallocation, aggregate activity and labor force. Due to the theoretical structure...

<b>Resumen:</b> <br> <br> Este trabajo consiste en la aplicación de una metodología de formación de grupos o “clusters” a la información disponible sobre las colocaciones registradas en las oficinas públicas de empleo andaluzas entre enero de 2007 y diciembre de 2010. Dicha metodología permite...

En este trabajo aportamos una nueva evidencia sobre el problema del diferencial de desempleo andaluz. Para ello, planteamos un modelo SVAR con las variables desempleo, vacantes y población activa, considerando tres tipos de perturbaciones: reasignación, actividad agregada y población activa....
