The study looks at how businesses decide on prices when faced with costs to change them, affecting the trade-off between economic growth and inflation. The researchers suggest that this trade-off is influenced by the level of inflation over time, and firms should adjust prices optimally to balance this. They find that how prices are set can impact the economy's output and people's well-being, with higher inflation leading to higher costs and distortions in prices. The study concludes that the best long-term inflation rate is zero.
