Meet the short run Phillips curve

Short run Phillips curve with inflation rate on the vertical axis and unemployment rate on the horizontal axis, showing a move from A at 2% inflation and 7% unemployment to B at 5% inflation and 4% unemployment after a rise in aggregate demand

The short run Phillips curve (SRPC) plots the inflation rate against the unemployment rate. Because it slopes downward, it suggests an inverse short-run relationship: lower unemployment is often associated with higher inflation.
