Abstract

The effect of the productivity slowdown on profits and markups is derived by using the Phelps-Winter customer market model in the two-sector setting, which features an endogenous price-marginal cost markup. Due to the sluggish flow of information, the firm possesses some transient monopoly power at each moment. A slowdown of productivity growth lowers the value of a customer to a firm, which makes it raise markups of price over marginal cost.
