Notes

(1) Nominal inertia in wage and price behaviour is described more fully in ‘Nominal inertia and Keynesian effects’, by Simon Wren-Lewis, National Institute Discussion Paper no. 174.

(2) Changes in competitiveness are not the only source of any differences in real output from the base case. Although, in our model, once the devaluation takes place both wage and price setters immediately change their expectations to be fully consistent with future outcomes, differences in the relative degree of inertia between wage and price setting behaviour will move the economy along the short-run Phillips curve.
