The question of whether or not price inflation is endogenous with respect to wage inflation has long been a source of theoritical contention between the neoclassicists and post-Keynesians.

As a result, wage inflation dynamics are forward-looking and depend negatively on the rate of unemployment. Moreover, both price inflation and wage inflation evolve as indicated by equations equivalent to those obtained in Erceg et al. (2000), though with different slope coefficients. In an ...

Equilibrium properties of the model: Endogenous markups and steady state inflation In this section, we determine from the wage and price inflation equations the endogenous variables of the system. Let us begin with the equilibrium inflation rate. Substituting the wage inflation expression (17) in the...
