Study Notes
Economic Concepts
- Economics is the study of how societies allocate scarce resources.
- Scarcity forces choices.
- Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative forgone.
- Microeconomics focuses on individual agents and markets.
- Macroeconomics examines the economy as a whole.
Fiscal Policy
- Fiscal policy involves government spending and taxation.
- Changes in government spending or taxation can influence aggregate demand.
- Expansionary fiscal policy increases government spending or decreases taxes to stimulate demand.
- Contractionary fiscal policy decreases government spending or increases taxes to cool down demand.
Monetary Policy
- Monetary policy involves the central bank's actions to control the money supply and interest rates, influencing inflation and employment rates.
- Expansionary monetary policy decrease interest rates and increase the money supply.
- Contractionary monetary policy increase interest and decrease money supply.
IS-LM Model
- The IS-LM model illustrates the interaction between goods and money markets.
- The IS curve illustrates the equilibrium in the goods market, showing the combinations of interest rates and income where investment and saving are equal.
- The LM curve illustrates the equilibrium in the money market, showing the combinations of interest rates and income where money supply and money demand are equal.
- The intersection of the IS and LM curves represents general equilibrium in both markets.
Effectiveness of Policies
- The effectiveness of fiscal policy depends on the shape of the IS and LM curves.
- A flatter IS curve indicates a more effective fiscal policy.
- A steeper LM curve indicates a less effective monetary policy.
- Fiscal policy impacts aggregate demand, affecting output and employment.
- Monetary policy mainly affects interest rates, inflation, and currency exchange.
Measures of Money Supply
- Money aggregates (M1, M2, M3) measure money supply in an economy.
- M1 includes currency in circulation and demand deposits.
- M2 includes M1 plus saving deposits, time deposits, etc.
- M3 includes M2 plus large time deposits, etc.
Other Economic Concepts
- Equilibrium: The state where economic forces are balanced and there is no tendency for change.
- Market: A place (physical or virtual) where buyers and sellers interact to exchange goods or services.
- Supply and Demand: The forces that determine prices and quantities in a market; supply is the willingness of producers to sell at different prices, demand is the customer's willingness to buy.
- Elasticity: Measure of responsiveness of one variable to changes in another variable, e.g., price elasticity of demand, income elasticity of demand.
- Inflation: A sustained rise in the general level of prices.
