Abstract
This paper introduces right-to-manage bargaining into a labor search model with sticky prices instead of standard efficient bargaining and examines the Ramsey-optimal monetary policy. Without real wage rigidity, even when the steady state is inefficient, price stability is nearly optimal in response to technology or government shocks. Right-to-manage bargaining creates the wage channel to inflation, as there is a direct relationship between real wages and real marginal cost. In the presence of the wage channel, price markups consist of only real marginal cost, and real wages and hours per worker are determined such as in the Walrasian labor market.
