Price stickiness, inflation, and output dynamics : a cross-country analysis / by Hashmat Khan.  : FB3-2/100-12E-PDF

This paper investigates a key implication of the sticky-price model of business cycle that is designed to explain the observed persistence in output fluctuations around its long-run growth path. A prediction of this model is that a higher trend inflation rate will increase the frequency of price adjustment and thereby inversely affect the persistence in deviations of output from its trend. Therefore, countries with a high trend inflation rate should have less-persistent output fluctuations. The characteristics of the data set available to examine this hypothesis raise several implementation issues. This paper focuses on those issues in a manner that is consistent with the theoretical framework of the model.--Concluding remarks
