Abstract

In an economy with increasing returns to scale in production, wage changes and unemployment levels are shown to fluctuate systematically. Such fluctuations are part of the stable long-run configuration of the economy. They generate data sets in which wage changes show a negative Phillips-type correlation with the level of unemployment. This negative correlation is a reflection of the conventional Walrasian price adjustment process in the labor market, and does not imply that across equilibria there is a negative relation between wage changes and unemployment. In particular, it does not imply the existence of a trade-off between inflation and unemployment.
