Nominal shocks, endogenous growth and the business cycle
Article Abstract:
Current wage setting and imperfect competition models of the business cycle are problematic because they take transitory disturbances arising from knowledge and human capital accumulation as pure public goods implying an explosive process for per capita income. A wage setting model, which avoids these problems and shows that such transitory disturbances to output result to permanent upward shifts in the production function, is proposed.

Article Abstract:
Monetary models are relevant to foreign exchange rates when inflation differentials are considered. Monetary models are also helpful when evaluating the effects of major macroeconomic policy changes on employment, the current account and the foreign exchange rate. The introduction of political factors in monetary models may provide even better forecasting of foreign exchange rates.
