Relationship between inflation and unemployment


Problem: Phillips Curve We saw that the relationship between inflation and unemployment in England has weakened over time. Two explanations brought forward by the Bank of England are that:

(ii) the Phillips Curve has become flatter.

First, illustrate and explain these changes using figures. Second, discuss what could have caused these changes. Third, explain which of the two scenarios - (i) or (ii) - you would expect to constrain policy makers more in their ability to control inflation?
