Exact prediction of inflation and unemployment in Germany Ivan O. Kitov Abstract Potential links between inflation‚ π(t)‚ and unemployment‚ UE(t)‚ in Germany have been examined. There exists a consistent (conventional) Phillips curve despite some changes in monetary policy. This Phillips curve is characterized by a negative relation between inflation and unemployment with the latter leading the former by one year: UE(t-1) = -1.50π(t) + 0.116. Effectively‚ growing unemployment has resulted
