The New Keynesian Phillips Curve in Thailand through Two Financial Crises
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) in Thailand in the two decades from 1993 to 2014 marked by the two large crises of 1997 and 2008. This analysis is significant because expectations and economic growth in Thailand may have been influenced by incidents including coups and natural disasters. The findings are summarized as follows. First, the empirical analysis shows that the NKPC in Thailand is relatively forward-looking compared with that shown in previous studies involving developed countries. Second, the NKPC in Thailand did not exist before the 1997 crisis, probably because of the bubble economy. Third, the NKPC is clearly observable after 2009, partly because of improved economic conditions. © 2016 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved.

متن کاملThe Nonlinearity of the New Keynesian Phillips Curve: The Case of Tunisia
This article seeks to check the nonlinearity of the Phillips curve in Tunisia for the 1993–2012 period, relying on a hybrid new Keynesian Phillips curve modeled via a Logistic Smooth Transition Regression (LSTR) model with endogenous variables. We estimate this model using the nonlinear instrumental variables. The empirical results corroborate the new Keynesian assumption ofprice rigidity and s...
