Term
Y-C-I-G
Definition
Which doesnt represent national saving
Term
net exports
Definition
what isnt a determinant of national saving and investment in a closed economy
Term
what relation is required between saving and investment for goods market equilibrium
Definition
saving must be equal to investment
Term
real interest rate
Definition
which of the following variables changes in order to bring saving and investment into equilibrium
Term
autonomous consumption
Definition
what is independent from disposable income and the real interest rate
Term
a decrease in autonomous consumption
Definition
which causes an increase in desired saving
Term
real interest rate decreases, which causes desired investment to increase
Definition
if desired saving increases what happens to the real interest rate and desired investment
Term
the saving curve shifts to the left (down)
Definition
if autonomous consumption rises
Term
the ability to trade with other economies
Definition
difference between closed and open economy?
Term
closed: goods market eq occurs when savings equals investments
open: savings doesnt have to equal investment
Definition
how does goods market equilibrium differ in open or closed economies?
Term
disposable income, the real interest rate and other variables like optimism and wealth
Definition
according to the consumption function, what variables determine aggregate spending on consumer goods and services
Term
C= c + mpc(Y-T) -cr;
c=auto consumption expenditure
Y= AGG output
T=taxes
mpc=marginal propensity to consume
r=real interest rate
c= responsiveness of consumption expenditure to real interest rate
Definition
consumption function formula explained
Term
planned expenditure on goods and services must equal the actual amount of goods and services produced
Definition
requirement for equilibrium in the goods market
Term
equilibrium points in the goods market- combo of real interest rate and output
Definition
what does IS curve show?
Term
as interest rate rises: consumption, investment and net exports fall, which lowers planned expenditure
Definition
why does the IS curve slope downward
Term
when Eq output changes at each given interest rate. factors that shift- auto consumption, auto investment, auto net exports, taxes, and gov purchases
Definition
what causes IS curve to shift?
Term
it indicates the relationship between the inflation rate and the real interest rate
Definition
what is the monetary policy curve?
Term
when inflation increases, supply of real money balances declines which increases the nominal interest rate and real interest rate in short run; when inflation rate increases, policymakers will also increase interest rates immediately
Definition
why does monetary policy curve slope upward?
Term
when the fed decides to raise the real interest rate at any given inflation rate, the MP curve shifts upward. easing (lowering the real interest rate at any given inflation rate) shifts the MP curve down
Definition
how does an autonomous tightening or easing of monetary policy by the fed affect the MP curve
Term
relationship of inflation rate and agg output at equilibrium
Definition
what is the aggregate demand curve?
Term
a rise in inflation makes the real interest rates rise, to reduce quantity of aggregate output
Definition
why does the agg demand curve slope downward?
Term
the negative relationship of unemployment and inflation
Definition
what relationship does the short run phillips curve describe?
Term
policymakers can increase inflation to decrease unemployment
Definition
what does the phillips curve offer to policy makers?
Term
unemployment will move toward natural rate regardless of inflation rate
Definition
what relationship does the long run phillips curve describe
Term
in the long run, expected inflation is taken into account when making work and hiring decisions
Definition
why do long run and short run phillips curves differ?
Term
increase the inflation rate by shifting the phillips curve upward
Definition
according to phillips curve, an increase in expected inflation would
Term
increase the inflation rate by shifting the phillips curve upward
Definition
according to phillips curve, a price shock like an increase in oil prices would
Term
decrease the inflation rate by moving downward and to the right along the phillips curve
Definition
according to phillips curve, increase in unemployment gap would
Term
total quantity of output supplied and inflation rate
Definition
what relationship does the agg supply curve describe
Term
inflation rate does not effect the output of an economy (labor, capital and technology do)
Definition
long run agg supply curve is vertical because
Term
a negative price shock
Definition
what causes a short run agg supply curve to shift upward (left)?
Term
increase in available technology
Definition
what could cause the long run agg supply curve to shift right?
Term
Monetary policy and Agg supply
Definition
what two graphs are upward sloping?
Term
autonomous tightening
autonomous easing
Definition
raising the interest rates to stimulate econ
lower the interest rates to promote growth
Term
an increase in nominal and real interest rates
Definition
taylor principle says that an increase in inflation leads to...
Term
increase inflation rate by shifting the phillips curve upward
Definition
a positive price shock would
