Description: "The paper provides a unified analysis of globalization effects on the Phillips curve and monetary policy, in a New-Keynesian framework.  The main proposition of the paper is twofold.  Labor, goods, and capital mobility flatten the tradeoff between inflation and activity.  If policy makers are guided by the welfare criterion of the representative household, globalization forces also lead monetary policy to be more aggressive with regard to inflation fluctuations but, at the same time, more benign with respect to the output-gap fluctuations"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
