MPCs, MPEs and Multipliers: A Trilemma for New Keynesian Models

No 27486, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: We show that New Keynesian models with frictionless labor supply face a challenge: given standard parameters, they cannot simultaneously match plausible estimates of marginal propensities to consume (MPCs), marginal propensities to earn (MPEs), and fiscal multipliers. A HANK model with sticky wages provides a solution to this trilemma.
