NAIRU information

Non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU)^[1] is a theoretical level of unemployment below which inflation would be expected to rise.^[2] It was first introduced as NIRU (non-inflationary rate of unemployment) by Franco Modigliani and Lucas Papademos in 1975, as an improvement over the "natural rate of unemployment" concept,^[3]^[4]^[5] which was proposed earlier by Milton Friedman.^[6]

In the United States, estimates of NAIRU typically range between 5 and 6%.^[2] Monetary policy conducted under the assumption of a NAIRU, typically involves allowing just enough unemployment in the economy to prevent inflation rising above a given target figure. Prices are allowed to increase gradually and some unemployment is tolerated.
