On the other hand, the short-run interaction of inflation and unemployment depicted in the Phillips Curve makes the policies more dilemmatic due to the trade-off between inflation and unemployment. Thus, the examination of inflation control and unemployment is needed. This research aims to investigate the relationship between inflation and unemployment. Based on the previous research that found mixed results, this research is distinctive from others by utilizing the ARDL bounds testing model applied to the South Kalimantan data from 1986 to 2021.
