William Gittes Chair in Macroeconomics
Daniel Levy, Ph.D
Professor of Economics and William Gittes Chair
The goal of the William Gittes Chair in Macroeconomics is to promote and deepen the scholarly work in macroeconomics in the context of modern New Keynesian models, with a primary focus on the behavior of prices.
Among the questions we ask are:
- How rigid (or sticky) are retail prices?
- Why are retail prices rigid/sticky?
- What are the determinants of retail price rigidity and flexibility?
- Why do we observe so many 9-ending (and currently in Israel, 90-ending) retail prices?
- How do consumers interpret and react to 9-ending (and currently in Israel, to 90-ending) prices?
- How does psychological pricing affect consumers’ ability to recall prices?
- “Rockets and Feathers:” What determines asymmetry in price adjustment?
- Why do we see so frequent small price changes?
- How attentive are the shoppers to retail prices?
- What are the determinants of consumer attention to prices?
- “Shrinkflation:” Why do package sizes shrink and what it has to do with consumer attention?
