Abstract:
We propose a price-setting model which helps reconcile microeconomic evidence of rela-tively frequent price adjustments with persistent real e¤ects of monetary shocks. In our model, both price adjustments and the gathering of some types of information are costly, requiring the payment of a lump-sum cost. Additional relevant information .ows continuously, and can be factored into pricing decisions costlessly. We estimate three versions of the model by a Simulated Method of Moments, including a special case in which all information is costly. When idiosyn- cratic information is free and aggregate information is costly, our estimated model is able to match individual price-setting statistics for the U.S. and, at the same time, produce persistent monetary non-neutrality.
