In the diagram, the long-run Phillips curve is the vertical red line. The NAIRU theory says that when unemployment is at the rate defined by this line, inflation will be stable. However, in the short-run policymakers will face an inflation-unemployment rate trade-off marked by the "Initial Short-Run Phillips Curve" in the graph.
When there is a BOP disequilibrium, either by the market forces or policy measures for readjustments, SWAN model is helpful. Internal Balance looks forward to acquiring full employment with lowest possible inflation, whereas External Balance looks towards a "No surplus - No deficit" position in the economy.
The best study of the inflation-unemployment trade-off finds that an increase in unemployment would reduce inflation by about one-third of 1%. Most other studies are in this ballpark.
Next, in a joint paper with Herings and others (132), the generic existence of a continuum of Pareto-ranked supply-constrained equilibria was established for a standard economy with some fixed prices. The multiplicity of equilibria thus formalises a trade-off between inflation and unemployment, comparable to a Phillips curve.
[10]: 176–189 The trade-off between the unemployment rate and inflation implied by Phillips thus holds in the short term, but not in the long term. [78] Also the oil crises of the 1970s causing at the same time rising unemployment and rising inflation (i.e. stagflation ) led to a broad recognition by economists that supply shocks could ...
The best study of the inflation-unemployment trade-off finds that an increase in unemployment would reduce inflation by about a third of a percent. Most other studies are in this ballpark.
Stagflation refers to an economic condition characterized by a simultaneous occurrence of high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and elevated unemployment. This phenomenon challenges traditional economic theories, which previously suggested that inflation and unemployment were inversely related , as depicted by the Phillips Curve .
Among economic policy makers, in official and academic papers, the natural rate of interest is often depicted as r* ("r-star"). [9] R-star (the natural rate of interest) is of particular interest because key economic issues for economic policy makers, at any time, revolve around the relationship between current long-term interest rates and r-star.
