| Abstract: | The authors study the effect of inflation on the average output of monopolistic firms facing fixed costs of changing their nominal price. The slope of this long-run Phillips curve has been analyzed by several authors, usually with specific functional forms. As a result, the literature offers a somewhat confusing array of special results. In this paper the authors derive a simple explicit formula which incorporates all the effects previously identified and determines their net impact. |
