“Assume that as real GDP rises towards its potential or full
employment level, scarcities of
various types of labour develop forcing firms to compete with one
another for scarce labour and
thereby putting upward pressure on the wage rate. The closer is the
value of real GDP to its full
employment level, the higher will be the increase in wage rate over
time.” Explain the above
statement using a simple mathematical equation. Show that this
extension of CKM can generate
the Phillips curve.
