Abstract
AbstractIn a model with fixed cost of price adjustment and idiosyncratic shocks, two parameterizations match a large set of microeconomic facts, yet display different degrees of nonneutrality. Although there is substantial nonneutrality in both cases, the model does not behave like a time‐dependent model, as changes in the distribution of firms account for roughly a third of the short‐run response of the price level to a monetary shock. We use the model to examine how aggregating firm behavior can generate flat hazards; we also find that a recently developed steady‐state statistic is an imperfect guide to characterizing nonneutrality.
