Paul Sultan

Paul Sultan is a labour economist, born in 1924 in Vancouver, Canada, and currently residing in Edwardsville, Illinois.

Education

After serving as an aircraft pilot during WWII for the Royal Canadian Air Force, he pursued an academic career at Cornell University, the University at Buffalo, Claremont Graduate School in California, UCLA, Simon Fraser University and the University of Southern Illinois.

Writings

His early text, Labour Economics,[1] pioneered the relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate, now known as the Phillips Curve. Paul has written five books and hundreds of articles, monographs and position papers. In recognition of his work in labour-management relations he was honoured in 1997 through being admitted to the Southwestern Illinois Labour Management Hall of Fame.

The Phillips Curve was erroneously attributed to William Phillips.
