It’s #ASSA2022 time! So excited to present in the session on “Labor Markets and the Transmission of Macroeconomic Shocks” on Sunday, 12:15 pm (EST) / 18:15 (CET). Such an interesting line-up of papers! @AlanFinkShap Anastasia (Natassa) Zervou Robert Minton Elizaveta Lukmanova Daniel Kaufmann

I am very happy to announce that my papers on the allocative effects of wage rigidity and the financial market effects of central bank bills have been accepted at Economica and the European Economic Review, respectively. You can find more information here dankaufmann.com

In a paper with Anne Kathrin Funk I find that downward nominal wage rigidities cause relevant allocative effects when the economy is hit by an unexpected deflationary shock. Latest version: drive.switch.ch/index.php/s/fv…

Finally, Anne Kathrin Funk and I will soon have a paper on the interaction between downward rigid base wages and flexible bonus payments in the AER Papers&Proceedings. Stay tuned!

1/ happy that my article with Anne Kathrin Funk of the KOF is now available open access in Economica Journal. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

So excited that our paper "Do Sticky Wages Matter?" is being published in Economica Journal! We find that wage rigidity is a pervasive phenomena in the (flexible) Swiss labour market, causing adverse effects on employment after a deflationary shock. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

Nice to be back at the #ECB. Meeting former colleagues and working on #monetarypolicy #heterogeneity. Stay tuned! ☝️

If you’re a macroeconomist, I know women who are working to coordinate victims/witnesses to report bad behavior, and have received messages offering to corroborate reports if particular victims come forward. The stories I’m hearing from that field are terrible; I’m so sorry.
