In this paper, we examine the regional trade-off between inflation and unemployment using a state-level dataset. Our analysis delves into both the reduced-form correlation and the structural Phillips curve with a state-level panel dataset. By applying a data-driven classification method, we account for potential nonlinearities and explore unobserved heterogeneity across states. Our findings underscore the presence of these nonlinearities and group patterns, highlighting that the flattening and return of the Phillips curve are regional and sporadical.
