''The long-run optimal degree of indexation in new Keynesian models with price staggering à la Calvo''
( 2010, Vol. 30 No.1 )
 
 
This note shows that full price indexation is not optimal in the long-run, in the New Keynesian model under trend inflation and price staggering à la Calvo. Moreover, we show that more price stickiness may increase steady state welfare, if price indexation is partial.
 
 
Keywords: Indexation, Trend Inflation, New Keynesian model
