Quadratic labor adjustment costs, business cycle dynamics and optimal monetary policy

We build quadratic labor adjustment costs into an otherwise standard New-Keynesian model of the business cycle and show that this increases output persistence in a similar vein as other models of labor market frictions. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that quadratic labor adjustment costs imply a trade off between stabilizing output and stabilizing inflation.
