1 EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PHILLIPS CURVE Emi Nakamura Jón Steinsson Columbia University January 2018 Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
2 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PHILLIPS CURVE Phillips 58 points out empirical relationship between wage inflation and unemployment in UK Samuelson-Solow 60 popularize idea in US Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
3 hypothesis stated above is correct the rise in import prices in 1862 may just have been sufficient to start up a mild wage-price spiral, but in the remainder of the period changes in import prices will have had little or no effect on the rate of change of wage rates.

8 US MACRO POLICY IN THE 1960S Phillips curve viewed as a menu of options Policy makers can lower unemployment if they are willing to tolerate more inflation Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
9 INFLATION AND U.S. UNEMPLOYMENT in the 1960 s IN THE US Inflation Rate Unemployment Rate 46 Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
10 FRIEDMAN AND PHELPS MAKE A PREDICTION Friedman 68 and Phelps 67: Policymakers cannot exploit a stable Phillips curve forever Workers will demand wage increases in excess of expected inflation As inflation rises, expectations of inflation will rise Changes in expected inflation will shift the Phillips curve Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55

12 FRIEDMAN Friedman ANDand PHELPS Phelps WERE RIGHT! Were Right!! Inflation Rate Unemployment Rate 9 Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
13 MODERN PHILLIPS CURVE Three drivers of inflation: Expected inflation: E t π t π t = βe t π t+1 + κ(y t y n t ) + η t Output relative to potential: y t y n t Cost-push shocks: η t Specific form above based on Calvo 83 sticky-price assumptions But details may vary (e.g., sticky information yields Ēt 1π t ) Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
14 ESTIMATING SLOPE OF THE PHILLIPS CURVE π t = βe t π t+1 + κ(y t y n t ) + η t Object of interest: Slope coefficient κ How much does an increase in demand / tightness / output gap affect inflation Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
15 ESTIMATING SLOPE OF THE PHILLIPS CURVE π t = βe t π t+1 + κ(y t y n t ) + η t Object of interest: Slope coefficient κ How much does an increase in demand / tightness / output gap affect inflation Tricky identification issues: Expected inflation unobserved Natural rate of output (i.e., supply shocks) unobserved Cost push shocks (e.g., variation in desired markups) unobserved All three may cause omitted variables bias Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
16 EXPECTED INFLATION Pre Friedman/Phelps Phillips curve: Change in output gap needed to change inflation Same is true for accelerationist Phillips curve (i.e., Phillips curve with adaptive expectations) π t = π t 1 + κ(y t y n t ) Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
17 EXPECTED INFLATION Pre Friedman/Phelps Phillips curve: Change in output gap needed to change inflation Same is true for accelerationist Phillips curve (i.e., Phillips curve with adaptive expectations) π t = π t 1 + κ(y t y n t ) Sargent 82: Hyperinflations end abruptly with little or no output cost Clear violation of aforementioned Phillips curves Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55

19 EXPECTED INFLATION In Calvo model, perfectly credible, unexpected disinflation can occur without any affect on output gap Expected inflation does all the work Theoretical victory: Potential explanation for Sargent facts Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
20 EXPECTED INFLATION In Calvo model, perfectly credible, unexpected disinflation can occur without any affect on output gap Expected inflation does all the work Theoretical victory: Potential explanation for Sargent facts Empirical headache: Movements in inflation potentially completely unrelated to output gap Even if output gap moves during disinflation, not clear what fraction of disinflation was due to shift in expected inflation Measurement of expected inflation crucial but hard Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
21 SUPPLY SHOCKS Slope of Phillips curve: Causal effect of output gap on inflation But output gap is not directly observable Ideal experiment: Shifts in output holding potential output and expected inflation constant Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
22 SUPPLY SHOCKS Slope of Phillips curve: Causal effect of output gap on inflation But output gap is not directly observable Ideal experiment: Shifts in output holding potential output and expected inflation constant Shifts in potential output (or natural rate of unemployment): Shift the Phillips curve Potentially lead to negative correlation between output and inflation Bias estimated slope of Phillips curve downward Cost push shocks cause similar problems Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
23 IS THE PHILLIPS CURVE DEAD? Phillips curve often pronounced dead Many economists think Phillips curve is an empirical disaster Prominent episodes: Missing inflation in late 1990s Missing disinflation in the Great Recession Let s take a closer look Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
24 STAGFLATION OF THE 1970S Inflation Unemployment Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
25 STAGFLATION OF THE 1970S Friedman and Phelps were right: Phillips curve shifted up in 1970s But why did inflation rise at higher and higher unemployment rates as 1970s progressed? Possible explanation: Rise in natural rate of unemployment Baby boon generation was entering labor force in 1970s Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
26 VOLCKER DISINFLATION Inflation Unemployment Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
27 MISSING INFLATION IN LATE 1990S Inflation Unemployment Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
28 MISSING INFLATION IN LATE 1990S : Looks good : Why doesn t inflation rise? Maybe it was just starting to in 2000 but Fed nipped it in the bud Maybe the Phillips curve is highly non-linear Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
29 MISSING DISINFLATION IN THE GREAT RECESSION Inflation Unemployment Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
30 MISSING DISINFLATION IN THE GREAT RECESSION Inflation Unemployment Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
31 IS THE PHILLIPS CURVE DEAD? Why did inflation not fall more in Great Recession? Actually rose in 2010 and 2011 Why is inflation not rising now? Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
32 COIBION-GORODNICHENKO 15 Is the Phillips Curve Alive and Well after All? Focus on missing disinflation during Great Recession Population explanations insufficient Anchored inflationary expectations Movements in natural rate Flattening of the Phillips curve Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
33 COIBION-GORODNICHENKO 15 Is the Phillips Curve Alive and Well after All? Focus on missing disinflation during Great Recession Population explanations insufficient Anchored inflationary expectations Movements in natural rate Flattening of the Phillips curve New explanation: Household inflation expectations rose in If firm s expectation the same, this can explain missing disinflation Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
34 COIBION-GORODNICHENKO 15 π t = βe t π t+1 + κ(y t y n t ) + η t Baseline assumptions: Output gap measure: Unemployment rate y t y n t = u t Expectations of inflation: backward looking Ignore discounting: β = 1 E t π t+1 = 1 4 (π t 1 + π t 2 + π t 3 + π t 4 ) Nakamura-Steinsson (Columbia) Phillips Curve January / 55
