Abstract: This paper explains inflation and unemployment starting from new baseline models of price formation and labor demand. Inflation is always and everywhere a pricing phenomenon. Unemployment is every year determined as a residual, as people in the labor force without employment. Employment is determined by production and labor productivity, while production is determined by spending (as measured by nominal GDP) at prices set by firms.
Keywords: Inflation; employment; unemployment
