Optimal monetary policy in a two country model with firm-level heterogeneity


Abstract: This paper studies non-cooperative monetary policy in a two country general equilibrium model where international economic integration is endogenised through firm-level heterogeneity and monopolistic competition. Economic integration between countries is a source of policy competition, generating higher long-run inflation, and increased gains from monetary cooperation.

Keywords: Price levels; Macroeconomics - Econometric models;
