Why do soda cans have beveled edges? You’ll notice two design distinctions of soda cans. One is the indented, concave bottom, which allows the can to withstand a lot of pressure.

This paper derives the curvature properties of the short-run Phillips curve for a wide class of models with time-dependent pricing frictions. Contrary to conventional thinking, the Phillips curve is ...
