| We use the rolling regression method to estimate the Okun relationship and the Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment (NAIRU) in Lebanon between 1991 and 2021.We found that a stagflation phenomenon exists, and the NAIRU is high. It turns out that the Okun coefficient is low and unstable. In addition, we show that an increase in the unemployment rate above the NAIRU entails a decrease in the GDP growth rate (under the potential GDP growth rate) and increases the inflation rate. |
