Staggered Price Setting with Endogenous Frequency of Adjustment

David Romer

NBER Working Paper No. 3134*
Issued in October 1989
NBER Program(s):   EFG

The classic models of staggered adjustment of Taylor and Blanchard takes the

frequency of price or wage adjustment as exogenous. This paper develops a

model in which the frequency of price changes in endogenous. It then uses

the model to analyze the effects of changes in the parameters of the economy

on the frequency of adjustment and the real effects of monetary shocks.
