Paul Sultan was a labour economist, born in 1924 in Vancouver, Canada, died in 2019
Edwardsville, Illinois

Education[edit]
After serving as an aircraft pilot during World War II for the Royal Canadian Air
Force, he pursued an academic career at Cornell University, the University at
Buffalo, Claremont Graduate School in California, UCLA, Simon Fraser University and
the University of Southern Illinois.

Writings[edit]
His early text, Labour Economics,[1] pioneered the relationship between the
inflation rate and the unemployment rate, now known as the Phillips curve, which
Sultan was the first to represent as a graph.[2][3][4] Sultan has written five
books and hundreds of articles, monographs and position papers. In recognition of
his work in labour-management relations he was honoured in 1997 through being
admitted to the Southwestern Illinois Labour Management Hall of Fame.
