We find evidence of significant nonlinearities for the U.S. economy (1973:M1 - 2019:M6): stimulating economic activity during recessions is associated with minimal costs in terms of inflation, and reducing inflation during booms delivers small costs in terms of unemployment. These results can be rationalized by a simple model with downward nominal wage rigidities, which is also used to assess the validity of our empirical approach.The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Severo Ochoa Programme for Centres of Excellence in R&D (Barcelona School of Economics CEX2024-001476-S) and through grants PID2024-160049NB-I00 (Debortoli) and PGC2018-094364-B-I00 (Gambetti), from the FAR 2017 Department of Economics "Marco Biagi" (Forni) and from the Italian Ministry of Research and University, PRIN 2017 grant J44I20000180001 (Forni, Gambetti and Sala).Oxford University Press2026202620252026infoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10230/72620http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ej/ueaf132reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésThe Economic Journal. 2025 Dec 08info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/4PE/PID2024-160049NB-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/2PE/PGC2018-094364-B-I00© Oxford University Press.
