This paper proves existence of a multiplicity of equilibria in a two-period TGE model with money and nominal rigidities. Households have incomplete preferences and firms reach decisions through the “control principle”. The multiple equilibria belong to an inflation–unemployment locus allowing for a Phillips curve or stagflation.
