| Abstract: |
Most Phillips curve theories predict inflation is an integrated process.However, inflation appears bounded above and below in developed economies andso cannot be ‘truly’ integrated and more likely stationary around a shifting mean. If agentsbelieve inflation is integrated as in the ‘modern’ theories then they are making systematicerrors concerning the statistical process of inflation. An alternative theory of the Phillipscurve is developed that is consistent with the ‘true’ statistical process of inflation. It is demonstratedthat United States inflation data are consistent with the alternative theory butnot with the existing ‘modern’ theories. |
