| Summary: | The negative coalition between unemployment and inflation is known as Phillips Curve
because William Phillips introduced the trade-off relationship between these two variables in
1985. For many years, the Phillips Curve has been an important mechanism for macroeconomic
policy formulators in many countries. Considering the fact that the majority of the research on
Phillips Curve have been done in the context of the developed economies, this study focuses
in Malaysia and aims to empirically analyse the relationship between unemployment rate and
inflation rate in a developing country. The main finding of the current inquiry is that there
existed an equilibrium relationship between unemployment rate and inflation rate in Malaysia.
The results of this study will support the validity of the Phillips Curve hypothesis. |
