In this article, the author replies to comments made on the development of satisfactory micro underpinnings of the Phillips curve by J.M. Holmes and D.J. Smyth.

Holmes and D.J. Smyth. The notion that every set of disequilibrium transactions must be determined by an intersection of demand and supply curves is contrary to the whole spirit of Phillips' dynamics where transactions occur out of equilibrium because price does not adjust instantaneously. On none of the four interpretations offered above does there seem to be any justification of Holmes and Smyth's charge that the general type of micro-underpinning that I originally suggested is theoretically invalid, or that present-day students of the subject should abandon their attempts to develop in more detail a micro-model of disequilibrium wage and price behavior that will rationalize the Phillips curve. In any case, there can be no doubt that models exist that are not wildly unorthodox and from which a unique relation between unemployment and excess demand and between unemployment and the rate of change of money wages can be derived. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1974 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
