Ryan Curtis · Answer 1

Adaptive expectation theory concludes that the policies are useless in the long run. This conclusion is based on the observation that after a short run reduction in unemployment, the economy will resets its self to the natural rate of unemployment but at a higher inflation rate. This results in no long run improvement in inflation and unemployment.
