TLDR
In this article, the authors developed a model of staggered prices along the lines of Phelps (1978) and Taylor (1979, 1980), but utilizing an analytically more tractable price-setting technology.About:

Exchange and interest rate channels during a deflationary era : evidence from Japan, Hong Kong and China
TL;DR: This article examined the role of exchange and interest rate channels during recent deflation episodes in Japan, Hong Kong and China, and found that exchange rate shocks have a statistically significant impact on prices, which could also be interpreted as providing weak support for suggestions to depreciate the currency to escape a liquidity trap.

Some Unpleasant Properties of Loglinearized Solutions When the Nominal Rate is Zero
TL;DR: This paper showed that employment increases when the labour tax rate is cut and the government purchase multiplier is less than 1.05 for a range of empirically relevant parameterizations, and that the implications of the New Keynesian model on the economy at the zero bound may not be all that different from its implications for policy away from it.

Natural Rate Doubts
Andreas Beyer,Roger E. A. Farmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the low frequency comovements in unemployment, inflation and the federal funds rate in the U.S. from 1970 through 1979 and show that the source of the inflation buildup in the 1970's was a downward drift in the real interest rate that was translated into a simultaneous increase in unemployment and inflation by passive Fed policy.

Thomas J. Sargent,Neil Wallace +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, alternative monetary policies are analyzed in an ad hoc macroeconomic model in which the public's expectations about prices are rational, and it turns out that the probility distribution of output is independent of the particular deterministic money supply rule in effect.

Aggregate Dynamics and Staggered Contracts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that staggered wage contracts as short as 1 year are capable of generating the type of unemployment persistence which has been observed during postwar business cycles in the United States.

Public Investment, the Rate of Return, and Optimal Fiscal Policy
Kenneth J. Arrow,Mordecai Kurz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of "controllability" is developed and injected into public economics and growth models to analyze optimal public expenditures in the context of modern growth theory, and a model of optimal growth with public capital is proposed.
