Happy to have contributed research to the ECB Strategy Review background paper on low inflation. We show that inflation cyclicality is especially dampened in sectors with high markups. Link to the Occasional Paper: (see Box 7)

We document that monetary policy shocks increase markup dispersion across firms. This affects allocative efficiency and hence lowers aggregate TFP. The estimated increase in markup dispersion explains a large share of the aggregate TFP response after monetary policy shocks. 2/4
We further show that part of the markup dispersion response can be explained by heterogeneity in price rigidity across firms. Firms with stickier prices have higher markups on average and increase their markups by more after monetary policy shocks. 3/4
Covid-19 reinforces market concentration (
@jan_eeckhout
et al.): consumers favor trusted brands and shop in big stores with large array of products. Besides that, digitized firms fared much better, a chance for innovative small firms.
