The Short-Run Phillips Curve illustrates the Trade-off between Inflation
and Unemployment (derived from what is happening to RGDP) that occurs
as the AD curve traverses (either up or down) the UPWARD sloping
(Intermediate) range of SRAS.

IMPORTANT---Movement ALONG the SRPC corresponds with AD movement ALONG the Upward
Sloping (Intermediate Range) of the SRAS Curve. The Phillips Curve is important because for
A long time—post WWII—Fiscal Policy (FP) and Monetary Policy (MP)was driven by this
relationship between inflation and unemployment

Let’s look at Point “A” on the SRPC---Notice it corresponds with the PL* and FE GDP* Which also
represents the economy at is normal Long Run Equilibrium State…Remember-LRAS represents
POTENTIAL, LONG TERM RGDP. At FE RGDP the unemployment rate is the Natural Rate of
Unemployment. In the LONG RUN no matter how much AD increases will ALWAYS Come up
against the “wall of LRAS” —NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE LEVEL IS!!

So…if in the LONG RUN the Unemployment Rate stays at the Natural Rate of Unemployment
REGARDLESS of the PRICE LEVEL, what to you think the LONG RUN PHILLIPS CURVE is going
To look like??

IMPORTANT: Point “A” on the Phillips Curve represents the LONG RUN situation where INFLATION
Is going to be stable at NRU (roughly 5%) AND Point “B” on the AD/AS graph represents the LONG
RUN situation where AD = SRAS = LRAS (Long Run Equilibrium). Embedded in the concept of FE
RGDP is the Unemployment rate is at it’s Natural Rate (roughly 5%).

IMPORTANT: The Long Run Phillips Curve is NOT the same thing as the LRAS!!! The ONLY thing
They have in common is (LRPC Explicitly and LRAS Implicitly) is the Natural Rate of
Unemployment. The LRAS can shift without causing the NRU to change AND/OR the LRPC can
shift without the LRAS curve shifting….GOT THAT…?
What SHIFTS the SRPC and the LRPC?
• The SRPC and LRPC are not static, they can
shift left or right.
• SRPC is MARRIED to the SRAS curve on our
AD/AS Model of the Economy
• WHATEVER shifts the SRAS curve causes the
SRPC to shift as well.
– However they shift in OPPOSITE directions!!!

Look at our new equilibrium point on the AD/AS graph (red dot). At this new equilibrium point
If AD increased or decreased it would do so at an inflation rate HIGHER relative to the previous
Equilibrium point at ANY point on the new SRAS curve. On the Phillips Curve graph NOW at any
unemployment rate the inflation rate is going to be HIGHER relative to SRPC* …The SHORT RUN
PHILLIPS CURVE shifts to the RIGHT!! Hint: SRAS shifts LEFT, SRPC shifts RIGHT.

Short Run Phillips Curve
• What do you think is going to happen to the
SRPC in the event of a POSITIVE SUPPLY
SHOCK???
– SRAS curve shifts to the RIGHT and SRPC shifts to
the LEFT!!!!
Phillips Curve
• IMPORTANT: Whenever causes the short run
AS curve to shift INDEPENDENT of the LRAS
curve is going to cause the Phillips Curve to
shift as well.
• SRAS shifts RIGHT (positive supply shock) then
the SRPC is going to shift to the LEFT
• SRAS shifts LEFT (negative supply shock) then
the SRPC is going to shift to the RIGHT.
LONG RUN PHILLIPS CURVE
• What shifts the LONG RUN PHILLIPS CURVE?
– Changes in government benefits to the
unemployed/underemployed
– Changes in the composition of the Labor force
– Changes in Supply-Side policies

Unemployment
Changes in Govt Benefits towards the UNEMPLOYED and the UNDEREMPLOYED
If the Govt. INCREASES the benefits they pay to the unemployed/underemployed in
general this produces a higher level of FRICTIONAL unemployment. People tend to stay
Unemployed for longer periods of time because the replacement income they receive
from the govt. is closer to their lost income…In other words, the incentive to look for a
Job is diminished and the tendency to stay unemployed increases..

United Kingdom
Why do some other major economies have
persistently higher unemployment rates
than the U.S.
• Government policies
are a major culprit
 We
will use as an example a sub-topic from the

In order to DECREASE INFLATION the Federal Reserve would carry out the Open

INCREASE the FEDERAL FUNDS RATE and tend to INCREASE INTEREST RATES
throughout the Financial System.
