Short-run Phillips curve (SRPC)
The downward-sloping trade-off between inflation and unemployment that holds while expected inflation is fixed. A demand boom moves the economy up and left along it, lower unemployment with higher inflation. The whole curve shifts when expected inflation or supply conditions change.
