Erica Lynn Groshen () and Mark E. Schweitzer

No 9418, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: An analysis of whether inflation facilitates adjustments to shocks or distorts relative prices, examining the wage-setting process across a panel of occupations and employers and finding that the costs of inflation may rise more rapidly than its benefits beyond quite modest rates of increase in the price level.
