    Abstract

    Social welfare objectives are investigated when changing prices is costly (Rotemberg, 1982). A quadratic welfare function is derived, with distorted steady state, implying inflation and output stabilization goals. Economic distortions influence inflation aversion in a way that differs from Calvo models.
