Abstract

[fre] Cet article analyse la littérature théorique récente sur la courbe de Phillips, et suggère une formulation de l'équation de salaire compatible avec l'hypothèse d'anticipation en présence d'une certaine illusion monétaire, et celle de l'instabilité de la courbe de Phillips au cours du temps. Avec la première hypothèse seule, la courbe de Phillips est en fait une boucle orientée dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, avec les deux ensemble elle devient une spirale. En présence d'une politique des revenus visant à maintenir le taux d'inflation des salaires à l'intérieur d'une plage jugée supportable pour l'économie, cette spirale peut se déplacer vers la droite. Dans cette éventualité, le risque d'hyper­inflation est conjuré, mais au prix d'un chômage croissant, à taux d'inflation donné. (C.E.P.R.E.M.A.P., C.N.R.S.) [eng] This is a survey article of the recent theoretical literature on the Phillips curve. The paper considers, by way of synthesis, a formulation of the wage equation compatible with the expectation hypothesis, in presence of monetary illusion, and with the instability over time of the Phillips curve. With only the first hypothesis, the Phillips curve is in fact a « clockwise » loop, and with both hypotheses, it becomes a spiral.. It is shown that an incomes policy which intends to maintain the rates of wage inflation within the limits considered tolerable for the economy may induce this spiral to move to the right. In such circumstances, the risk of hyper­inflation is exorcised, but at the price of an increasing unemployment level, given the rate of wage inflation (C.E.P.R.E.M.A.P., C.N.R.S.)
