On the frequency of wage indexation

European Economic Review, 1983
Abstract This paper analyzes the optimal frequency of wage indexation. It demonstrates that a change in the expected value of money does not affect the optimal frequency, but that an increase in the riskiness of the value of money leads to an increase in the optimal frequency. An increase in the worker's risk aversion also leads to an increase in the

Irrespective of the type of economy and the first round response of price setters the competitive advantage of the devaluation is dissipated, under constant markups, in the long run by the ensuing ...
