Following the seminal contributions of Cecchetti (1986) on newspaper prices, Kashyap (1995) on catalog prices (both using US data), and Lach and Tsiddon (1992) on meat and wine prices in Israel, a recent wave of empirical research has provided new evidence on consumer and producer price stickiness at the micro level. Bils and Klenow (2004) and Klenow and Kryvstov (2005) provide studies on consumer prices in the US and Dhyne et al. (2006) give a synthesis of the recent studies carried out for the euro area countries. Studies of producer prices include Alvarez et al. (2006), Cornille and Dossche (2006), Loupias, Heckel and Sevestre (2007) and Sabbatini et al. (2005) among many others.
