Abstract: 

This paper tests the empirical fit of the forward-looking New-Keynesian Phillips Curve in Germany. The Calvo model of staggered price setting implies that inflation dynamics are driven by the present-value of future real marginal costs. We exploit forecasts of future realmarginal costs generated by VARmodels to assess the extent to which the model matches the behavior of actual inflation. The model replicates the overall dynamics of German inflation well at first sight. However, a set of bootstrapped confidence bands reveals that this seemingly favorable result is consistent with both a fitting and a failing model.
