    In this study, we provide a comprehensive estimation of the contemporary Phillips curve relationship in the South African economy using a novel deep learning technique. Our approach incorporates multiple measures of economic slack/tightness and inflation expectations, contributing to the debate on the relevance of the Phillips curve in South Africa, where previous findings have been inconclusive. Our analysis reveals that long-run inflation expectations are the primary driver of inflation, with these expectations anchored around 5% historically but declining since the financial crisis. This trend suggests that the South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) monetary policy implementation has become increasingly credible in addressing high inflation and price instability. We also find that short-run expectations and real economic activity play a substantial role in explaining deviations from the long-run trend, supporting the existence of a quantifiable Phillips curve relationship in the South African economy. The deep learning methodology employed in this paper offers several advantages for policymakers. It accommodates the complex interplay of various factors influencing inflation, providing a more accurate representation of the Phillips curve relationship. The model's interpretable nature allows policymakers to discern the key drivers of inflation, facilitating more targeted and effective monetary policy interventions. Our findings can help inform strategies to combat persistently high inflation rates in South Africa, supporting the SARB's ongoing efforts to achieve price stability and sustainable economic growth.

    We propose a multivariate Bayesian state space model to identify potential growth and the output gap consistent with the dynamics of the underlying production sectors of the economy and those of inflation and the labor market. Our approach allows us to decompose economic fluctuations and long-term trend growth of output and employment into its driving factors. Applying our model to the Swiss economy reveals substantial divergence among the considered production sectors- their contributions to gap and potential vary both in size and direction. Potential growth has been declining over the past two decades and the data points to labor market frictions and a well-identified Phillips curve. In a comprehensive real-time study, we review revision and forecasting properties of our estimate and compare it to established methods. Overall, we document several advantages of our sector gap model: a) It facilitates the interpretability of economic trends and cycles, allowing for more efficient policy actions, b) it has favorable revision properties compared to standard univariate filtering techniques and a baseline model without sectors, c) it is useful in forecasting output growth and inflation, and d) it produces economically meaningful potential growth rates.
