CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
Phillips Curve Basics
The Phillips curve illustrates a potential inverse relationship between the rate of inflation and the rate of unemployment within an economy. Generally, it suggests that lower unemployment correlates with higher inflation, and vice versa.
Analyzing Incorrect Statements
Statement B: Publication Year Error
The statement "A.W. Phillips first put this theory in 1985" is incorrect. A.W. Phillips actually presented his findings on the relationship between unemployment and wage inflation in a paper published in 1958, not 1985. This date is a key fact about the theory's origin.
Statement D: Relationship Misrepresentation
The statement "If unemployment decreases, inflation will also decrease and vice versa" contradicts the standard Phillips curve relationship. The curve typically suggests that a decrease in unemployment (moving left on the curve) leads to an increase in inflation, while an increase in unemployment leads to a decrease in inflation. This statement incorrectly describes the trade-off.
Conclusion on Incorrect Statements
Based on the analysis, the incorrect statements regarding the Phillips curve are:
- A.W. Phillips first put this theory in 1985 (Incorrect date).
- If unemployment decreases, inflation will also decrease and vice versa (Incorrect relationship).
Therefore, statements B and D are not correct.
