A Model of Nominal Contracts
- 1989
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A simple macroeconomic model with labor contracts is formulated. Under plausible conditions, i) the optimal labor contract leaves employment to be determined by the firm, ii) a small cost for writing a state-contingent contract may be sufficient to induce forms and insiders to write contracts with fixed nominal wages, so that iii) fluctuations in nominal demand lead to variations in output and employment.

A Permanent Demand Theory of Pricing
- 1986
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on standard statis models of firm behavior one would expect the price of goods to increase with demand for a given level of costs. In empirical studies prices have generally been found to be unaffected by short run variations in demand, however. The model in this paper is consistent with this stylised fact. In the model, a demand shock that is perceived as temporary may lead to unchanged or even lower prices, while a permanent demand shock leads to higher prices.

Market Shares and Pricing Behavior in the Tradeables Industry : An Examination of Swedish Manufacturing
- 1988
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A model with customer flow dynamics is used to derive an export equation and an Euler equation for the pricing problem of the firm. The model is estimated on quarterly data for Swedish manufacturing exports. The results on the quantity side support the model relative to conventional lag specifications, but the results on the price side provide little support for the model.

Price Dynamics of Exporting and Import Competing Firms
- 1983
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper presents a model of a market for an internationally traded good. Buyers, who are customers of one firms, are imperfectly informed about other firms' prices and it is costly for them to change from one supplier to another. This leads to dynamic market share equations, which allow analysis of the interaction between price/quantity decisions of exporting and import competing firms. The model generates results which are consistent with empirical findings.

Wage Formation and the Persistency of Unemployment
- 1986
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper suggests a reason why in an economy with nominal wage contracts, the effects of monetary shocks persist after labor contracts have been renegotiated. The basic idea isthat employed and unemployed workers have diverging interests. Since employed workeres for a majority of union membership, union decisions are likely to favor the interest of those employed. A monetary shock affects employment within the contract period, when nominal wages are given. Since employment, in turn, affects the risk that employed workers will lose their jobs, a change in employment will have consequences for future wages and employment levels.
