Methodology and Results As mentioned‚ the derivation of Phillips Curve requires the estimation of three variables i.e inflation‚ output gap and expected inflation. In order to estimate the expected augmented(Expectations Augmented) Phillips Curve‚ this study covers observations from time period 1961 to 2015 for both countries US and India. The equation of Expected Augmented Phillips Curve(Expectations Augmented Phillips Curve) is ∏t = ∏et + β(Y-Yn) + et where‚ ∏t = inflation at the time period
