Слайд 3

Gross Domestic Product market value of all final goods and services

Gross Domestic Product
market value of all final goods and services produced

within a country in a year
Final goods are purchased by the last user and will not be resold or used to produce anything else

GDP

Слайд 5

C: consumer spending Daily spending on goods and services I: business

C: consumer spending
Daily spending on goods and services

Machinery,

factories, equipment etc.

4 COMPONENTS OF GDP

Слайд 6

G: government spending Spending by all levels of government - military,

G: government spending
Spending by all levels of government - military, school,

highways, supplies etc.
NX: net export spending
Purchases of U.S. goods and services by foreign buyers (exports) minus purchases of foreign goods and services by U.S. consumers (imports)
Слайд 7

Example: In 2000, estimates in trillions of dollars GPP = C

Example:
In 2000, estimates in trillions of dollars
GPP = C + I +

G + NX
$10.04 = $6.81 + $1.87 + $1.75 + ($1.13-$1.52)

GDP= C+I+G+NX

Слайд 8

Unemployment Rate Percentage of labor force who is not working Labor

Unemployment Rate
Percentage of labor force who is not working
Labor Force: everyone

16 – 65 who is working or actively looking for work
3 types of unemployment

Unemployment

Слайд 9

People are out of work temporarily Seasonal work Changing jobs Looking

People are out of work temporarily
Seasonal work
Changing jobs
Looking for 1st job
This

is acceptable unemployment

FRICTIONAL

Слайд 10

Unemployment because your job skills are no longer needed Ex. Technology

Unemployment because your job skills are no longer needed
Ex. Technology replaces

workers so people are laid off
People can go back to school and learn new skills

STRUCTURAL

Слайд 11

People are unemployed due to fluctuations in the business cycle As

People are unemployed due to fluctuations in the business cycle
As the

economy declines, people lose their jobs
Worst kind of unemployment, can not easily fix. Economy must recover first.

CYCLICAL

Слайд 12

Consumer Price Index Index of all goods and services produced in

Consumer Price Index
Index of all goods and services produced in a

country
Measured by a market “basket” of all goods and services that are commonly bought year after year by the typical urban household

CPI

Слайд 13

Inflation Rising price levels purchasing power of the dollar falls Dollar

Inflation
Rising price levels
purchasing power of the dollar falls
Dollar buys less
Deflation
Falling price

levels
purchasing power of the dollar rises
Dollar buys more

EFFECTS OF CHANGING CPI

Слайд 14

Hyperinflation: rapid inflation ex. Germany after WWII Stagflation: rising prices with falling GDP and rising unemployment

Hyperinflation: rapid inflation
ex. Germany after WWII
Stagflation: rising prices with falling GDP

and rising unemployment
Слайд 15

As GDP rises, unemployment rates fall and prices begin to rise

As GDP rises, unemployment rates fall and prices begin to rise
As

GDP falls, unemployment rises and prices begin to decline

Contraction

3rd stage: GDP is falling

6 months or more of a

contraction is called a recession

If the recession is bad enough, it is a depression

Aggregate means “total” Total demand for ALL FINAL goods and services

Aggregate means “total”
Total demand for ALL FINAL goods and services in

the economy
from all people in the economy
for all prices levels

Aggregate Demand

Слайд 22

Aggregate demand consists of: consumer spending (C) investment spending (I) government

Aggregate demand consists of:
consumer spending (C)
investment spending (I)
government spending

(G)
net export spending (NX).
If any component increases, GDP increases, AD curve shifts right.
If any component decreases, GDP decreases, AD curve shifts left
