PHILLIPS CURVE

divyas
Acc. to Blanchard high unemployment leads not to a "low inflation" , but to a 'decrease ' in inflation over time ( and after this he defines phillips curve).

i am not able to get the difference low inflation and decrease in inflation
or
does it mean that high unemployment leads not to a fall in the level of inflation bt to a fall in the rate of increase of inflation i.e., inflation increases at a falling?

guys plz help!

Yes, the rate of inflation will be less but there won't be deflation. that's why US inflation data never came down after 1970, it kept on rising and we got new philips curve.
