Answer

In the long run, there is no actual trade-off between inflation and unemployment, the economy must return to the Natural Rate of Unemployment (NARU). In the short run, the economy moves along the short-run Phillips curve. Inflation over time will cause the economy to come back to the long run which is a shift right of SRPC.
