As the political agenda of Nazi Germany grew to diverge from the agenda of the U.S. and other democratic countries, an important question began to evolve. How far could this political and economic compatibility, or incompatibility, be stretched? And what would such compatibilities hold for the contemporary "global economy"?
This dissertation proposes a new Phillips curve that is able to endogenously generate inflation persistence in a profit-maximizing framework featuring sticky prices, in response to the critique to ad-hoc approaches directly incorporating a lagged inflation term into the Phillips curve by assuming that a fraction of firms reset their prices by automatic indexation to past period's inflation rate. In order to generate a lagged inflation term as a source of inflation persistence, I assume that although firms change their prices at discrete time intervals, they can not completely adjust prices due convex costs of changing prices. Hence, this dissertation introduces dual price stickiness with respect to the frequency and size of price adjustment. In addition to the dual price stickiness, this dissertation investigates the potential presence of dual wage stickiness: with respect to both the frequency as well as the size of wage adjustments. In particular, I derive a model of wage inflation dynamics assuming that although workers adjust wage contracts at discrete time intervals, they are limited in their abilities to adjust wages as much as they might desire.
Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources, thereby raising productivity. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and ’80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations, and which propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. In the decades since, the immediate cause of the period’s rise in inflation has been the subject of considerable debate. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Here, contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on the ways in which the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today’s global and increasingly complex economic environment.
