| Summary: | This paper uses panel data analysis to analyse the relationship between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate in five ASEAN countries (i.e. Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines).

The main findings from the panel data analysis are that there is no trade-off relationship between the unemployment rate and the inflation rate in these ASEAN countries |
