A new test for hysteresis based on a nonlinear unobserved components model is proposed. Observed unemployment rates are … cyclical unemployment to have a different impact on the natural rate depending on the regime of the economy. The impact of … both bootstrap algorithms.

Second, there is also a positive correlation between anticipated inflation and … unemployment volatility. Third, the long-run inflation-unemployment relationship is not only positive, but also stronger when …
