THE PHILLIPS CURVE IN DEVELOPING ECONOMIES: A CASE STUDY OF UZBEKISTAN
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
The Phillips curve, introduced by Alban William Phillips in 1958, highlights an
inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment, suggesting that reducing
inflation requires increasing unemployment, and vice versa. While this theory was
initially supported by empirical data, it faced challenges in the 1970s when
stagflation—high inflation and unemployment simultaneously—occurred,
contradicting the model’s predictions.
