On the nature and stability of the Canadian Phillips curve / by Maral Kichian. : FB3-2/101-4E-PDF

This paper empirically determines why, during the 1990s, inflation in Canada was consistently more stable than predicted by the fixed-coefficients Phillips curve. A time-varying-coefficient model, where all the parameters adjust simultaneously, shows that the behaviour of expectations was probably a major contributing factor.--Abstract
