Linearizing the two components of the Phillips curve at ZINSS reveals a special structure, in particular, there is a common root L = 1/αβ in both lag polynomials. This means the system can be solved by elimination. Therefore, we do not have to lag one of the recursions to perform a substitution introducing lagged terms. The next result confirms that this is unrepresentative of the dynamics of any stochastic system because it only applies when inflation is at steady state where the approximation is irrelevant. Let Lℵ equal the zero of the lag polynomial in ℵ. Proof. By elementary manipulation it is clear that this amounts to proving that This follows immediately from Chebyshev’s correlation inequality (Lemma 1) which states that EAB ≥ EA EB for two strictly increasing functions with equality if and only the measure is degenerate. ZINSS is an example of a (measure zero) singularity not covered by Proposition 3. In fact it is the wall of the crossing which gives rise to (1). Bifurcation and common roots will be formally connected in Section 9. Thus we arrive at the incorrect step. Error 1.
