| In this paper, we develop a new open economy macroeconomics model that incorporates international worker mobility and nominal wage rigidities. The driving force for relocation of workers is differences in real wages between home- and foreign-located workers. An unanticipated domestic monetary expansion proves to produce not only changes in the nominal exchange rate, but also worker relocation through changes in the wage gap. We show that the degree of worker mobility provides the key to understanding the macroeconomic impacts of monetary expansion. |
