Phillips Curve Relationship Explained

The Phillips curve describes an economic relationship between two key macroeconomic variables: the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment.

Historically, the curve suggests an inverse relationship:

  • When unemployment is low, inflation tends to be high.
  • When unemployment is high, inflation tends to be low.

This trade-off is a central concept in macroeconomic analysis, illustrating a potential conflict between maintaining low unemployment and controlling inflation.

Therefore, the Phillips curve specifically sets up a relation between inflation and unemployment.
