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:

Optimal Inflation Stabilization in a Medium-Scale Macroeonomic Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize the Ramsey-optimal monetary policy in a medium-scale macroeconomic model that has been estimated to fit well postwar US business cycles and find that mild deflation is Ramsey optimal in the long run.

Forecasting performance of an open economy DSGE model

The Persistence of Inflation in OECD Countries: A Fractionally Integrated Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the inflation rates of 21 OECD countries which are modelled as fractionally integrated (FI) processes and show that FI can appear in inflation rates after aggregating individual prices from firms that face different costs of adjusting their prices.

The Theory of Matrices
TL;DR: In this article, the Routh-Hurwitz problem of singular pencils of matrices has been studied in the context of systems of linear differential equations with variable coefficients, and its applications to the analysis of complex matrices have been discussed.

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.

"Rational" Expectations, the Optimal Monetary Instrument, and the Optimal Money Supply Rule
Thomas J. Sargent,Neil Wallace +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 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.

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.
