Abstract

This paper compares a number of alternative specifications for price setting in the context of the Smets-Wouters (2003) Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model. We compare the Calvo model with a standard Taylor contracting model and show that by allowing for sector-specific capital the Taylor contracting model with relative short contract length is performing as well as the Calvo model
