The Phillips Curve has been vital for over 25 years in macroeconomics models. Phillips that in 1958 gave the best repression of the modern formulation of the curve. The technical representation is that w = f(u) which is related to the rate of wag inflation w via the function f() to the excess demand for labor as measured by U, the deviation of unemployment form its equilibrium or labor market clearing rate. (Humphrey p.5). The curve also transformed through the assumed markup of prices over wages into the price-change equation p=f(u), where p is the rate of price inflation. (Humphrey p. 5). This curve is still used and is the modern why to show the relationship between rate of change of price and unemployment. .
The early versions of the Phillips Curve where focused around the idea that an inflation-unemployment trade-off. Some other versions where looked at by David Hume( 1752) and Henry Thornton(1802). Not until 1958 where the Phillips Curve was looked at more in detail. In 1958, A.W. Phillip's published an article in which he suggested the formula for w=f(u) to annual data on percentage rates of change of money wages (w) and the unemployment rate(u) in the United Kingdom for the period 1861-1913 ( Humphrey p.13). The Curve came fourth with a self-explanatory version of the actual curve. The curve showed very clearly that the response of wages to the excess demand for labor as proxied by the inverse of the unemployment rate (Humphrey p.15). In other words, low unemployment meant high excess demand and thus upward pressure on the wages. Another way is that the more unemployed you have the less demand that you have. .
The Phillips Curve was looked at to define the relationship between labor force and the price level. The Curve was looked at before Phillips to try and define the relationship in a usable chart that could be understood by many very easily.

Clearly, the credibility of the "classical idea that the Phillips trade off between inflation and unemployment disappears in the long run" is still very high throughout the world. ... A substantial body of research occupies the examination of this trade-off, whose roots trace back to the Phillips curve (1958), which demonstrated the inverse relationship between the change in wage rates and unemployment rates. ... Although the 'Phillips' relationship has subsequently been challenged on theoretical and empirical grounds, it continues to form an important locus of analysis and it is p...
Nothing in macroeconomics could be further from the truth, confirmed repeatedly through history. ... Tax receipts have risen about 2.6 %, their highest share in recent history. ... The Phillips curve and the NAIRU frameworks are critically flawed and misleading because they do not distinguish between a change in demand or supply, they do not capture the crucial role of the Fed's monetary policy. ... Mounting evidence that healthy growth, low unemployment, and low inflation may be compatible seemingly had helped to distance the FED from its Phillips curve tendencies and improve its under...
There was a time when men played for the love of the game; when competition alone satisfied the male ego. This age of basketball featured greats such as Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Oscar Robinson. These gladiators, and those like them, battled repeatedly winning league championships, MVP's...
A perfectly competitive market is a market where there are many sellers and buyers for a product. In a competitive market price is not established by a single seller, but is decided by supply and demand (Edwin, 673). Competition is necessary in an economy because it helps control production, price...
