Abstract: "In this paper, we re-examine the Phillips curve for Canada over the period of 1971(Q1)–2018(Q4) and find that the impulse response of inflation to the unemployment gap has reduced over time. On further examination, we find that changes in both tariff rate and collective wage bargaining power have led to the reduced sensitivity of inflation to the unemployment gap. On comparison, the role of change in the collective bargaining has greater influence on the reduction in the sensitivity than that of change in the tariff rate."
