2.1 Measures of macroeconomic performance (Economic growth and inflation) | 2.1 Measures of macroeconomic performance (Unemployment and BOP)) | 2.2 AD | 2.3 AS | 2.4 National Income |
---|---|---|---|---|
Disinflation
What is the term for " a fall in the rate at which the general price level is rising"
|
unemployed/labour force x100
Give the formula to calculate the unemployment rate
|
C + I + G + (X-M)
What is the AD equation?
|
to the left
What way will the AS curve shift if costs of production increase?
|
Government spending, exports, Investment
List three injections
|
One of the following: difficulty to include impact of new technology, problem of measuring changes in technology, only measures typical households spending habits
State one limitation of the CPI
|
• those without a job, want a job, have actively sought work in the last 4 weeks and are available to start work in the next 2 weeks,
or • out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next 2 weeks.
Give the ILO definition of unemployment
|
Decreases
If interest rates increase, what happens to AD?
|
Imports become less affordable and AS decreases
If the exchange rate depreciates, how will this impact AS?
|
Taxes, imports, savings
List three withdrawals
|
False (will lead to inflationary pressures)
True or false: A growth in the money supply will lead to deflationary pressures
|
cyclical unemployment
Demand deficient unemployment is also know as:
|
% of disposable income that is saved
How is the savings ratio calculated?
|
AS - total amount of goods and services produced and supplied by a an economy's firms at particular price level over a period of time. Short run when wage rates are constant.
What is SRAS?
|
1/(1-MPC)
What is the formula to calculate the multiplier
|
Real GDP + Factor incomes
How is Real GNI calculated?
|
Sectorial, technological, regional
State the three types of structural unemployment
|
Gross investment is before depreciation is taken into account
What is the difference between gross investment and net investment?
|
Government policies that increase competition between firms is likely to increase LRAS as competition is likely to force firms to be more productive. However, sometimes less competition can be beneficial if it encourages investment and innovation.
How does competition policy influence LRAS?
|
MPS + MPM + MPT
What is the formula for MPW?
|
deficit would increase
If a country's current account balance was in a deficit, how would a high inflation rate in that country affect the deficit?
|
increases
If the NZD appreciates, what happens to NZ's current account deficit?
|
1. The real balance effect, 2. The international competitiveness argument, 3. At higher average prices the interest rate is likely to be higher
What are the three reasons as to why the AD curve is downward sloping?
|
When there is mass unemployment, output can be increased without any increases in costs and therefore prices. As the economy approaches full employment, higher output leads to higher prices.
Explain why the Keynesian LRAS is shaped the way it is.
|
Model needs to be correctly labelled.
Draw a model showing AD and LRAS. On the model show the effect of decreasing interest rates.
