Nominal price rigidity, money supply endogeneity, and business cycles

Article Abstract:

The relationship between nominal price rigidity on one hand and inflation, business cycles and output was examined in a dynamic general equilibrium model composed of households, firms and government, taking into account post-war economic data. It was concluded that nominal price rigidity models offered a better explanation of the association between output and inflation compared to flexible price models. It was further suggested that an endogenous money supply would have little effect on the results of the model.
