Introduction to hysteresis-based unemployment research

Summary/Abstract: In the last decades of the 20th century highly developed European labor markets experienced processes which could not be adequately explained with contemporary economi¬cal theories. Therefore a new concept emerged, focused on looking for the causes of the phe¬nomena observed in labor markets in the inert character of economic processes. Eventually, the hysteresis theory was formulated. The article contains results of correlation analysis be¬tween the unemployment rate and inflation rate in Poland, in the years 1990-2010. During research, it was assumed that due to hysteresis the trajectory of their relation has a shape re¬sembling an ellipse. In order to prove that the Polish labor market experiences hysteresis, Z. Hellwig’s nonlinear correlation coefficient was used.
