Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the non-neutrality of monetary policy incorporating the Lucas (1988) type endogenous growth model in the standard New Keynesian macroeconomic model with nominal wage rigidities. It is shown that the monetary policy summarized in the level of trend inflation is non-neutral in the long-run economic growth in the presence of nominal wage rigidities. The growth-inflation nexus depends on the degree of nominal rigidities and the degree of differentiation of the labor services.
