To be able to illustrate this simply we assume that

Bagsic‚ the Phillips Curve “depicts the trade-off between inflation and unemployment rate” (“The Phillips Curve and Inflation Forecasting: The Case of the Philippines”). Nowadays‚ the relationship depicted by the Phillips curve is specified in the following equation: πt = πe – γ(UR – UR*) + v where πt is the inflation rate‚ πe is the expected inflation‚ γ is a parameter‚ UR is the unemployment rate‚ UR* is the natural rate of unemployment
