Inflation dynamics under habit formation in hours

Author

Listed:
  • Kamber, Günes

Abstract

This paper studies the implications of habit formation in hours for inflation dynamics. Using a New Keynesian Model, we show that habit formation in hours lowers the response of inflation to a monetary policy shock and that it can help to account for the observed sluggish response of inflation.
