Alban W. Phillips

Alban William Phillips (1914 - 1975) found his fame as an economist in the middle of the twentieth century. Phillips was a New Zealander by birth, but spent the most significant part of his academic career at the London School of Economics. His most well-known contribution is the Phillips curve, which he first documented in 1958. His work focused on British data, and observed that in years when the unemployment rate was high, wages tended to be stable, or possibly fall. Conversely, when unemployment was low, wages rose rapidly. This sort of pattern had been noticed earlier by Irving Fisher, but soon after the publication of Phillips' paper the idea that there was a trade-off between a strong economy and low inflation caught the imagination of academic economists and policy-makers alike. Paul Samuelson and Robert Solow wrote an influential article describing the possibilities suggested by the Phillips curve in the context of the United States. What people think of as the Phillips curve has changed substantially over time, but remains an important feature of macroeconomic analysis of economic fluctuations. Had he lived longer, Phillips' contributions would have been worthy of a Nobel prize in economics. (references)
