It suggests that when there is a decrease in unemployment, there will be an increase in inflation, and vice versa. This relationship is based on the assumption that there is a fixed natural rate of unemployment. Now, if there is a change in expected inflation, it Show more…

Suppose the current inflation rate and the expected inflation rate are both 4 percent. The current unemployment rate and the natural rate of unemployment are both 5 percent.

Show this change on your Phillips curve graph.
