Histories, Parker-Phillips Camp
No full textThe Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Phillips Camp biographies (circa 1940-1974) is a collection of biographical sketches of Utah pioneers submitted to the Phillips Camp, Daughters of Utah Pioneers, in Kaysville, Utah. The individual sketches give insight into the socioeconomic status of European, as well New World, converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the nineteenth century. They contain biographical and genealogical information, as well as descriptions of experiences crossing the Atlantic to America and traveling across the plains to Utah. Minute details of pioneering life in Davis County, Utah, and other frontier outposts of settlement are illuminated. Described also are individual occupations and survival techniques along with information on offices held in, and services to, the church and the community. Biographies include: George Blake Parker (1830-1920), 3 pages; Mary Lewis Parker (1825-1891), 3 pages; William Parker (1800-1822), 2 pages; Catharine Nichols Payne (1824)-1906), 5 pages; William L. Payne (1816-1892), 5 pages; Edward Phillips (1813-1896?), 10 pages; Hannah Simmonds Phillips (1824-1898), 9 pages; John Dee Phillips (1846-1887), 1 page; Mary Ann Press Dee Phillips (1773-1871), 3 pages; History of Phillips Camp, 2 page
National & City-Level Emissions & Climate Target Data in Support of Jaden L. Phillips' MES Thesis
No full textThis dataset contains country & city-level climate data in support of Jaden L. Phillips' Master of Environment & Sustainability (MES) thesis. The dataset includes two separate spreadsheets.
The first spreadsheet pertains to the 194 countries that signed the Paris Agreement, including (1) GHG emissions data from 1975 to 2023, obtained from the 2024 Global Carbon Budget and (2) Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target information.
The second spreadsheet pertains to cities, including (1) the 97 cities in the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group's participation in the High-Impact Accelerators, and (2) the absolute GHG emissions & populations of 11,422 urban centres from the Urban Centre Database for the years 1975, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2022

Inside and Outside Bounds: Threshold Estimates of the Phillips Curve
No full textThere have been several instances over the past 40 years when large movements in the unemployment rate have elicited little response in the inflation rate. Such instances, while casting doubt on the tradeoff implied by the linear Phillips curve, are also associated with large inflation forecasting errors. In principle, these movements are consistent with a Phillips curve relationship; they just require the curve to shift in the same direction as the unemployment rate. Econometric representations of the Phillips relationship usually incorporate factors that can cause the Phillips curve to shift over time. However, the literature has not yet provided a test of whether such factors are sufficient to explain the episodes of horizontal movement. In this paper, the authors test the explanatory power of a double threshold specification of the Phillips relationship against a simple linear specification, and compare dynamic and static out of sample forecasts of inflation across linear and double threshold specifications of the Phillips curve. The authors find that traditional shifters in the relationships are insufficient for characterizing the periods of horizontal movement, and that a double threshold specification makes significant improvements in the static and dynamic out of sample inflation forecasting performance of the Phillips curvPhillips Curve; Threshold Models; Inflation Forecasting
The Phillips Curve in Australia
No full textIn this paper we discuss the development of Phillips curves in Australia over the forty years since Phillips first estimated one using Australian data. We examine the central issues faced by researchers estimating Australian Phillips curves. These include the distinction between the short and long-run trade-offs between inflation and unemployment, and the changing level of the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU), particularly in the 1970s. We estimate Phillips curves for prices and unit labour costs in Australia over the past three decades. These Phillips curves allow the NAIRU to change through time, and include a role for import prices and ‘speed-limit’ effects. The paper concludes by presenting an extended discussion of the changing role of the Phillips curve in the intellectual framework used to analyse inflation within the Reserve Bank of Australia over the past three decades.Phillips curve; inflation; unemployment; monetary policy

Is the Phillips Curve of Germany Spurious?
No full textA simple plot of seasonal adjusted quarterly data between the change of nominal wage rates and the unemployment rate for the German economy shows a picture similar to that by which Phillips was inspired to his famous discovery, that there is a long-term tendency of a negative, non-linear relationship coupled with minor deviations from this tendency, which form so-called loops. At first sight, the Phillips Curve of Germany comprises clusters of data points and movements between these clusters. In spite of the striking differences of these phenomena, a model with one regression equation is sufficient to explain the loops, the movements between the loops and the long-term tendency of the German Phillips Curve. It might well be that the German Phillips Curve and the corresponding regressions are spurious, but an allegedly missing co-integration of wage rate changes and unemployment rate is not the argument that could be drawn on to sustain this scepticism. On the contrary, both variables are co-integrated. To get a more detailed insight into the relationship, the two variables are split into a trend and a cyclical component by the help of the HP-filter. The results of regression analyses applied to the separated components support Phillips’ hypothesis of a negative relationship between wage rate changes and the unemployment rate.Wages, Unemployment, Phillips Curve
