Abstract

This note introduces the problem of indexation of wages, exchange rate, andother prices in the Phillips’ curve. With this aim, we developed a simplified model of theinflationary process decomposing it in (1) inertial inflation; (2) the Phillips’ curve; (3) administeredor supply shock inflation. Using this model, first we show that a supply shock shiftsthe Phillips’ curve accelerating the trend rate of inertial inflation. Second, that a continuousdemand pressure through Phillips’ curve leads to continuous acceleration of the rate of inflation.And third, that a rise in the rate of unemployment may lead to an oligopolistic increasein the profit margin, which also leads a shift in the Phillips’ curve and an acceleration ofinflation. JEL Classification: E31; E24.
