This paper computes the steady-state optimal rate of inflation in a model with monopolistic competition under two different sticky-price specifications, Calvo (1983) and Taylor (1980).The optimal rate of inflation is positive and almost identical to the ratio between the rate of discount and the Dixit-Stiglitzelasticity.

This paper computes the steady-state optimal rate of inflation assuming two different sticky-price
specifications, Calvo (1983) and Taylor (1980), in a model with monopolistic competition. The optimal
rate of inflation in steady state is always positive. This result is robust to changes in the degree of
price stickiness. In both cases of staggered prices, the optimal rate of inflation is approximately equal
to the ratio between the rate of discount and the Dixit-Stiglitz elasticity.
