Back to basics: sticky prices in the monetary transmission mechanism

I use the measures of frequency of price adjustment in Nakamura and Steinsson (2008) to show that stickier price industries have higher levels of output response to monetary policy shocks. Using a Vector Auto-regression model, I build different measures of response to a monetary policy shock of 14 U...

Using a Vector Auto-regression model, I build different measures of response to a monetary policy shock of 14 US industries. These measures are shown to be related to the level of price rigidity. More precisely, I find that if firms within an industry change prices twice as often as firms in another industry, output deviation from trend in response to a negative shock of 25 basis points will be 69 percentage points smaller in the less sticky industry. This result is stronger when I account for measurement error in the level of response.En este documento utilizo las frecuencias en el ajuste de precios de Nakamura y Steinsson (2008) para mostrar que las industrias que son más rígidas en precios tienen niveles más altos de respuesta a un choque de política monetaria. Mediante un análisis de Vector Autoregresivo (VAR), construyo diferentes medidas de respuesta a un choque de política monetaria para 14 industrias en los Estados Unidos y muestro que están relacionadas con el nivel de rigidez en precios de la industria. Más precisamente, si las firmas de una industria cambian los precios con una frecuencia dos veces más alta que las de otra industria, la desviación del producto de su tendencia, en respuesta a un choque negativo de 25 puntos básicos, es 69 puntos porcentuales menor en la industria menos rígida. Este resultado es más fuerte cuando corrijo por error de medición en el nivel de respuesta.22 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 38 Septiembre de 2011https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/009244.htmlBack to basics: sticky prices in the monetary transmission mechanismVolviendo a lo fundamental: las rigideces en precios y el mecanismo de transmisión monetariaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPMonetary transmission mechanismInterest rateSticky pricesFinancial frictionsPolítica monetaria - InvestigacionesPrecios - InvestigacionesE31, E40, E52Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2011-38.pdf.jpgdcede2011-38.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg8326https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/a07ca324-20b4-4053-b7fb-debf230c075c/download9c47dedb73f595e99f02fdb51c577270MD55ORIGINALdcede2011-38.pdfdcede2011-38.pdfapplication/pdf355843https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/551c4786-c4b2-4388-82c0-c3e9bf2fd719/downloadeb2161026cc9d4aac0d56054580a9f9fMD51TEXTdcede2011-38.pdf.txtdcede2011-38.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain51839https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/774f7e3c-c1d5-48f3-86fe-774a88d6eac6/download27ac197f282709460b7ac29383c23d6cMD541992/8286oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/82862024-06-04 15:46:47.458http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
