New Keynesian Economic (Bagian II)

The Staggering of Prices

Penjelasan New Keynesian tentang sticky prices sering menekankan bahwa tidak semua orang dalam perekonomian menentukan harga pada saat yang sama. Namun, penyesuaian harga sepanjang siklus perekonomian adalah staggered. Proses staggering menyulitkan untuk menetapkan suatu harga oleh karena perusahaan sangat memperhatikan harga produknya dibandingkan dengan perusahaan lain. Proses staggering dapat membuat keselurahan tingkat harga melakukan penyesuaian secara perlahan-lahan, meskupun ketika harga secara individual sering berubah.

Proses penyesuai harga dapat diilustrasikan sebagai berikut. Misalnya, pertama, penetapkan harga yang  disinkronisasikan: setiap perusahaan menyesuaikan harganya pada setiap bulan. Jika suplai uang beredar menigkat dan permintaan agregat meningkat pada 10 Mei, maka output akan lebih tinggi dari 10 Mei ke 1 Juni, karena harga adalah fixed selama interval ini. Namun demikian, pada 1 Juni, semua perusahaan akan menaikkan harga mereka untuk merespon permintaan agregat yang tinggi, yaitu  boom pada tiga minggu terakhir.

Apabila, sekarang dimisalkan penetapan harga adalah staggered: sebagian perusahaan menetapkan harga pada setiap awal bulan dan sebagian lagi pada  hari ke limabelas. Jika suplai uang beredar meningkat pada 10 Mei, maka sebagaian perusahaan-perusahaan dapat menaikkan harga pada 15 Mei dan sebagaian perusahaan-perusahaan lainya tidak akan mengubah harga pada hari kelimabelas. Perbedaan harga relatif ini, akan mengakibatkan sebahagian perusahaan akan kehilangan customers. Oleh sebab itu, sebagian perusahaan yang merubah harga mungkin dengan menaikan harganya tidak banyak. (Ini kontras, jika semua perusahaan melakukan sinkronisasi harga, sehingga tidak berpengaruh pada harga relative). Jika perusahaan yang merubah harga pada 15 Mei dengan penyesuaian harga sedikit, maka pada gilirannya perusahaan lain akan melakukan penyesuaian sedikit juga pada 1 Juni, karena mereka juga ingin menghindari perubahan harga relatif. Tingkat harga akan meningkat secara perlahan sebagai hasil dari kenaikan harga kecil pada awal dan hari kelimabelas setiap bulannya. Oleh karena itu, proses staggering membuat tingkat harga berubah lambat, karena tidak ada perusahaan berkeinginan untuk menjadi yang pertama dalam kenaikan harga yang besar.

  1. I think Greenspan is getting senile, today he said that you can stop asset bubbles by increasing capital requirements. That just increases the cost of credit. The next time you have a real estate bubble, you’ll have the same problem, assuming that banks are still in the business of loaning against real estate. If you want to stop this problem, then eliminate the federal subsidies for real estate development and investment, then require people in that industry to put their own money at risk instead of someone elses. If Greenspan really wants to change the banking system, though, then simply ban 95% and 90% LTV loans. Require a bigger equity cushion. BTW, the “too big to fail” argument is a fallacious one. During the Great Depression, Canada had no bank failures. The reason was that their banks were very large. The banks closed branches, etc., but none of them failed. By contrast, the US was dominated by thousands of very small banks, and we had more than 10,000 of them fail. So there is nothing inherently unsafe about a banking system dominated by large banks. The real problem with large banks is that during good times, they don’t provide enough competition for each other.
