Mechanism for Reducing Inflation via High Unemployment

To reduce a high rate of inflation, the Phillips curve model indicates that a negative bargaining gap must be created. This is achieved by increasing the unemployment rate above the structural, or inflation-stabilizing, rate. The resulting negative gap signifies a weak labor market, which puts downward pressure on wages and prices, causing the inflation rate to fall over time.
