Exact prediction of inflation and unemployment in Germany Ivan O. Kitov Abstract Potential links between inflation‚ π(t)‚ and unemployment‚ UE(t)‚ in Germany have been examined.

This Phillips curve is characterized by a negative relation between inflation and unemployment with the latter leading the former by one year: UE(t-1) = -1.50π(t) + 0.116. Effectively‚ growing unemployment has resulted
