I explore the aggregate effects of micro lumpy labor adjustment in a prototypical RBC model, which embeds a stochastic labor duration mechanism in the spirit of Calvo(1983), and it extends this approach by introducing a Weibull-distributed labor adjustment process to capture the increasing...

I explore the implications of the lumpy labor adjustment as a propagation mechanism for aggregate dynamics. The model I use nests the basic RBC model with a staggered-job-turnover in the spirit of Taylor (1980) and Calvo (1983). It extends this approach by introducing a Weibull-distributed labor...

This paper compares sticky-price and sticky-information model under a more general staggering price-setting scheme. Different to Mankiw and Reis (2002), who show that, under the Calvo staggering assumption, two models generate very different inflation dynamics, I extend the constant-hazard...
