On 18 February 2019, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) together with
Kyiv School of Economics will host an open research seminar in which Mr.
Michael Dobrew will discuss monetary policy in an
economy where households consume goods with various degrees of price
flexibility. This time Mr. Dobrew from Princeton University
will present the paper (Dis-) Aggregate Consumption and Monetary Policy. The
author conducts the following analysis: ·
Mr. Dobrew empirically shows that households consume disproportionately
more sticky price goods in response to intensive
margin income increases. ·
Using a
multi-sector New Keynesian model Mr. Dobrew analyzes
the implications for the trade-off between inflation and output-stabilization. Mr. Michael Dobrew is a PhD candidate in the
Department of Economics at Princeton University. His research interests focus
on Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics and Banking. The research papers are available at link. The seminar will be held in English. Location: National Bank of Ukraine, 9, Instytutska
