Given their forward looking expectations are rational and they are reasonably well informed, the Phillips curve would be vertical in the long run. The Phillips curve in the short run (within 2 years for US/UK) may be diagonal upwards because of lags in the economy caused by inefficiencies on the supply side. However how people act on information taken in is an interesting point. If they were fully rational there would be no point stdying economics as we would understand already... then there is herding behaviour - the curve could work out backwards! |
