Abstract: This paper shows that a model which combines sticky prices and sticky wages with investment in the cash-in-advance constraint generates business cycle dynamics consistent with empirical evidence. The model reproduces the responses of the key macroeconomic variables to technology and money supply shocks; in particular, it generates enough output and in°ation persistence with standard stickiness parameters. This setup is also able to generate the liquidity effect after a money injection, overcoming a weakness in standard new Keynesian models. When taken to the data, the model explains qualitatively well the US postwar period, and does quantitatively better for the great in°ation of the 70s.
