Study Notes
Short-Run Phillips Curve
- Movement indicates a shift in aggregate demand (AD) impacting inflation and unemployment in opposite directions.
- A leftward shift in aggregate demand leads to a decrease in inflation and an increase in unemployment.
Shift of Short-Run Phillips Curve
- Occurs due to shifts in short-run aggregate supply (SRAS), impacting inflation and unemployment inversely.
- When SRAS shifts left, inflation rises while unemployment increases.
Factors of Production
- Essential components:
- Land: natural resources available for production.
- Labor: human effort used in production.
- Capital: tools, equipment, and facilities for production.
- Technology: innovations that improve efficiency.
Shifters of Demand for Loanable Funds
- Factors that shift demand include incentives to invest, influenced by interest rates and economic outlook.
- Contractionary fiscal policy leads to a rightward shift in demand, increasing the quantity of funds demanded.
Shifters of Supply of Loanable Funds
- Includes incentives to save, impacted by interest rates and consumer confidence.
- Monetary policy and expansionary fiscal policy generally shift supply to the left, reducing the quantity of funds available.
Shifters of Money Supply
- Primarily influenced by monetary policy directed by the Federal Reserve Bank, adjusting interest rates and reserve requirements.
Shifters of Money Demand
- Key factors influencing demand include price levels (inflation), consumer income, and fiscal policy changes.
Shifters of Long-Run Aggregate Supply
- Determined by changes in factors of production, such as labor force growth and technological advancements.
Shifters of Short-Run Aggregate Supply
- Influenced by factors of production, input costs, and supply shocks (sudden changes in supply impacting prices).
Shifters of Aggregate Demand
- Includes components of GDP: consumption (C), investment (I), government spending (G), and net exports (Xn) as well as monetary and fiscal policy changes.
PPC Graph
- Represents production possibilities of two goods based on limited resources, illustrating opportunity costs and trade-offs.
GDP Measurement
- Expenditure approach: GDP calculated as C + I + G + Xn, correlating with aggregate demand.
- Income approach: GDP calculated as income from wages (W), interest (I), rent (R), and profits (P), relating to aggregate supply.
Calculating Nominal GDP
- Total value of goods produced multiplied by their current market prices, reflecting economic output.
GDP Deflator
- A price index used to measure the level of inflation within the economy.
Inflation Rate via CPI
- The formula for calculating inflation: ((This year's CPI - Last year's CPI) / Last year's CPI) x 100, indicating percentage change in consumer prices.
Real Interest Rate
- The nominal interest rate adjusted for the effects of inflation, indicative of the true cost of borrowing.
Unemployment Rate
- Defined as the percentage of individuals aged 16 or older who are actively seeking employment.
Money Multiplier
- Calculated as 1/RR (required reserve ratio), demonstrating the banking system's capacity to create money from deposits.
Quantity Theory Of Money
- Expressed as MV = PQ = Y, linking money supply (M) to price levels (P) and output (Y) under stable velocity (V).
MPC + MPS = 1
- Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) and Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) must collectively equal one, representing consumer behavior.
Spending Multiplier
- Formula: 1/(1-MPC) or 1/MPS, illustrating the total change in spending resulting from an initial increase in government spending.
Tax Multiplier
- Expressed as MPC/MPS multiplied by the tax decrease, it reflects the total impact of tax changes on spending, always negative.
Absolute Advantage
- The ability of an agent to produce more of a good or service using fewer resources than another agent, highlighting efficiency in production.
Appreciation
- An increase in a currency's value relative to others due to heightened demand or reduced supply in foreign exchange markets.
Balance Of Payments
- A comprehensive measure of a nation's monetary transactions with the rest of the world, encompassing the current account and capital account.
Bonds
- A formal debt security issued by corporations or governments, promising to repay the invested principal along with interest.
Budget Deficit
- Occurs when government spending surpasses its tax revenues, often requiring borrowing to finance the deficit.
