Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment
(redirected from Nonaccelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment)

    0.01 sec.
Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment
Also called NAIRU. The unemployment rate in an economy below which inflation will begin to rise. The idea behind NAIRU states that a certain unemployment rate is built in to an economy. If unemployment falls too far, the economy will begin to overheat and inflation will rise. This analysis is highly controversial; some economists hold full employment is possible without these negative side effects. Milton Friedman was a major proponent of the NAIRU idea. See also: Phillips curve.
