In many countries, wage changes tend to be clustered in the beginning of the year, with wages being set for fixed durations of typically one year.

This paper reviews recent approaches to modeling the labour market, and assesses their implications for inflation dynamics through both their effect on marginal cost and on price-setting behavior. In a search and matching environment, we consider the following modeling setups: right-to-manage...
