New cards
22

Classical View

The economy is inherently stable. Government intervention tends to destabilize the economy.

Favors governmental deregulation

New cards
23

Keynes View

The economy is inherently unstable. Government intervention tends to stabilize the economy.

Favors government intervention like creating jobs

New cards
24

C=f(y^d)

Consumption is a function of disposable income

Positive relationship

New cards
25

I=f(r )

Investment is a function of real interest rate

Inverse relationship

New cards
26

Nx=f(e)(x-m)

Net exports are a function of exchange rate

Inverse relationship

New cards
27

Y1

U>U^N, Recessionary Gap, Industry up

New cards
28

Y2

U<U^n, Inflationary gap, Industry down

New cards
29

Y*

U=U^N, natural rate of unemployment, frictional and structural, no cyclical

New cards
30

AES

1)Consumption (brings up)

2)Investment (brings up)

3)Government Spending (brings up)

4)Taxes (brings down)

New cards
31

Autonomous consumption

Y intercept, level of consumption that takes place when income is 0

New cards
32

Y=AE

45º Line, 1 to 1

New cards
33

Relationship between MPC and MPS

MPC+MPS=1

New cards
34

Income (Y)

C+S Consumption plus Savings

New cards
35

Savings

Y-C Income minus Consumption

New cards
36

MPC Definition

Marginal propensity to consume, change in consumption that takes place with one more $ of income.

New cards
37

MPS Definition

Marginal Propensity to spend, change in spending tha occurs with one more $ of income

New cards
38

Government Spending Multiplier

change in Y over change in G, or 1/1-MPC

New cards
39

Tax Multiplier

Change in Y over change in T, or -MPC/1-MPC

New cards
40

Leakage-Injections Stages

1) S=0

2) S=In

3)S=In+G

4)S+T=In+G

5)S+T+M=X+In+G

New cards
41

Income and Expenditures Stages

1) AE1=C

2)AE2=C+I

3)AE3=C+I+G

4)AE4=C(Y-T)+I+G

5)AE5=C(Y-T)+I+G+Nx

New cards
42

Keynesian Conjecture 1

Consumption is a function of disposable income

New cards
43

Keynesian Conjecture 2

The marginal propensity to consume is some number between 0 ≤ MPC ≤ 1

New cards
44

Keynesian Conjecture 3

As income rises, APC falls. APC=C/Y

New cards
45

Relationship between APC and APS

APC+APS=1 APC=C/Y APS=S/Y

New cards
46

As Y(income) rises, APC falls

Short run relationship between APC and Y

New cards
47

As Y(income) rises, APC levels out/remains constant

Long run relationship between APC and Y

New cards
48

Crowding out

Government spending gets too big and eliminates private investment

New cards
49

The change in income Y is the same as the change in Government Spending G and the change in taxes T.

Conditions:

1)if there is no crowding out

2) if the government spending multiplier equals the tax multiplier

New cards
50

Balanced budget

G=T When government spending is equal to taxes

New cards
51

G>T

Budget deficit

New cards
52

G<T

Budget surplus

New cards
53

1)GDP

=Depreciation+Indirect business taxes+rent+wages+interest+profit

New cards
54

2)NDP/Net Domestic Product (GDP-Depreciation)

=Indirect business taxes+rent+wages+interest+profit

New cards
55

3)National Income (GDP-Depreciation-Indirect business taxes)

=Rent+wages+interest+profit

New cards
56

4) Personal income

National income+government transfer payments-Social security contributions-undistributed corporate profits

New cards
57

5) Disposable Income

Personal income-Personal taxes

New cards
58

Real Purchases Effect

Describes why the AD curve is (-)

EX when prices are 1/3 off consumption goes up as price goes down.

New cards
59

Interest Rate Effect

Describes why the AD curve is (-)

EX When the price of cars drops Investment goes up and interest rate goes down.

New cards
60

Net Exports Effect

Describes why the AD curve is (-)

EX When domestic goods are cheaper than foreign goods, exports increase and imports decrease, leading Net Exports to increase making price decrease. Output increases (Y)

New cards
61

Equation of Exchange

Describes why the AD curve is (-)

(M)(V)=(P)(Y)

New cards
62

Shift in AD

Increase in change in C,I,G,T,NX,V,M

When increased, all shift the AD curve right except Taxes, which when increased, shift the curve left

New cards
63

Keynesian View/Section of AS

Low levels of output

Short Run

Output is change, price level is held constant (Sticky Prices)

Where Fiscal Policy is most effective

Helps describe why the AS curve is (+)

New cards
64

Classical view/Section of AS

High levels of output

Long run

Output is constant, price level varies (fixed output over time)

Where fiscal policy is the most Ineffective

Helps describe why the AS curve is (+)

New cards
65

Compromise Section of AS

Where Fiscal policy is moderately effective

Helps describe why the AS curve is (+)

New cards
66

Aggregate Supply Curve

knowt flashcard image
New cards
67

Fiscal Policy

Change in G and/or Change in T

New cards
68

Expansionary Fiscal Policy

Positive change in G and/or Negative change in T

New cards
69

Contractionary Fiscal Policy

Negative change in G and/or Positive change in T

New cards
70
