Estimated Open Economy New Keynesian Phillips Curves for the G7



period after scaling this up by the rate of inflation observed in the previous
period. Therefore, the log-linearised index of output prices is given by,

pbtd = αpbtd-1 +(1- α)pbtr

where ptr is the average reset price in period t and is given by,

pbtr =(1- ω)xbt + ωpbtb

(20)


(21)


ω is the proportion of firms following the rule of thumb, and ptb is the price set
set according to the rule of thumb,

br d

pbt = pbt-1 + πbt-1.


Substituting equation (22) into (21) gives,


pbtr =(1- ω)xbt + ωpbtr-1 + ωpbtd-1 - ωpbtd-2 .


Inserting equation (20) into this expression then yields,

This can be rearranged in terms of xbt, substituted into equation (22) and solved
using the definition of output price inflation,
πbt = pbtd - pbtd-1 to give,
