AWH (Bill) Phillips was a remarkable Kiwi economist and 2008 marks the 50th anniversary of his most famous creation, the Phillips Curve.
Dr Phillips’ influential 1958 paper on the relationship between inflation and unemployment, catapulted him to prominence as one of the most significant economists of the mid-20th century.
Events being held in July 2008 to celebrate the life and work of Bill Phillips include a large international symposium attracting some of the world’s top economists, two public lectures held in Auckland and Wellington, and a Reserve Bank Museum exhibition.
