Due to historical differences, countries often differ inhow quickly a change in actual inflation is incorporated into achange in expected inflation. In a country such as Japan that hashad very little inflation in recent memory, it will take longer fora change in the actual inflation rate to be reflected in acorresponding change in the expected inflation rate. In contrast,in a country such as Argentina, one that has recently had very highinflation, a change in the actual inflation rate will immediatelybe reflected in a corresponding change in the expected inflationrate. What does this imply about the short-run and long-runPhillips curves in these two types of countries? What does thisimply about the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policy toreduce the unemployment rate? Chapter 16: Inflation, Disinflation, andDeflation
