Title: Globalisation and the slope of the Phillips curve
Abstract: We study the effects of globalisation on the slope of the New Keynesian Phillips curve for CPI inflation, based on a panel of 35 countries. We find that the output gap generally has a significant positive effect on inflation, but that this effect decreases as integration in the global economy increases. We conclude that the advance of globalisation has been a key force behind the flattening of price Phillips curves.
