Part 2: The Medium Run and the Phillips Curve A. Show and explain how Friedman and Phelps use the empirically estimated Phillips Curve relation to explain stagflation (20). B. The concept of NAIRU was derived from the Inflation-Expectations Adjusted PC relation.

Discuss the alternative explanation for the low inflation environment that was created during this period, and why it might also explain the most recent change in the relationship underlying NAIRU (20).
