A Survey of New Keynesian Theories of Aggregate Supply and Their Relation to Industrial Organization

Author

Listed:
  • JOHN LEAHY

Abstract

I survey the recent literature on the Phillips curve. Along the way, I will try to relate this literature to topics of interest to industrial organization. I will also point out the gaps in our understanding and places where more careful micro‐economic analysis would be helpful to macroeconomists. In the conclusion, I summarize what an industrial organization economist might take away from this literature.
