The Phillips Curve

In class students learned about the economic model that shows the negative relationship between inflation and unemployment: The Phillips Curve (technically the short-run Phillips curve).  Shifts in the SRPC are a result of changes in expected inflation (increase expected inflation; SRPC shifts up) and changes in inputs - Productivity, Nominal Wages, Commodity Prices.  An example would be an increase in commodity prices would shift the SRPC up.  Below I also attached a video describing the Phillips Curve on Khan Academy.
