Relative Wage Concern and the Keynesian Contract Multiplier

Guido Ascari and J.A. Garcia

Economics Working Papers from European University Institute

Abstract: Recent quantitative dynamic general equilibrium models have cast serious doubts on the explanatory power of staggered wage/price setting in accounting for both output and inflation persistence. The authors enlarge a dynamic general equilibrium model with staggered wages by incorporating Keynesian relative wage concern on the part of workers.
