- Example exercises: Introducing habit persistence in consumption (changing the dynamic IS curve), calibrating the model to match empirical impulse responses, and solving a two-country model.
- Manual’s value: Provides numerical calibration examples and code-like steps for replicating figures from the book.
For Instructors: It saves time that would otherwise be spent on creating problem solutions. Instructors can use it to guide their teaching and assess student assignments.
- If $\theta \to 1$ (prices never change), $\kappa \to 0$. Inflation becomes constant/sticky.
- If $\theta \to 0$ (flexible prices), $\kappa$ becomes large, and inflation responds violently to output gaps.
