Aggregate Production
Definition

production=income. production creates an equal amount of income, so the 45* line represents production=income

 

Term
Aggregate expenditures
Definition
the total amount of spending on final goods and services
Term
Autonomous expenditures
Definition

expenditures that do not systematically vary with income

  • remain constant at all levels of income

 

Term
Induced Expenditures
Definition

expenditures that change as income changes

  • when income changes, they change by less than income
Term

The Multiplier Equation

Definition
  • can be used to fid equilibrium income

 

Term
What the expenditures multiplier reveals
Definition
  • how much income will change in response to a change in autonomous expenditures
  • as the mpe increases, the multiplier increases
Term
Aggregate Demand
Definition
  • shows the relationship between different price levels and different equilibria in the goods market
  • shows the relationship between different price levels and different equilibria in the goods market
Term
Paradox of thrift
Definition
  • in the long run, saving leads to investment and growth
  • in the short run, saving may lead to a decrease in spending, output, and employment
Term
Short-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (SAS)
Definition
  • shows how a shift in AD affects the price level and real output in the short-run

 

Term
Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve (LAS)
Definition
  • shows the output that an economy can produce at full employment of labor and capital
Term
Shifts in AD Curve
Definition
  • Foreign Income
  • Exchange Rates
  • Expectations
  • Distribution of Income
  • Government AD Management Policies(fiscal & monetary)
Term
Slope of the SAS Curve
Definition
  • Auction Markets- prices are determined by demand and supply
  • ( more prices = more profits= more quantity supplied)
  • Posted-price markets- prices are set by producers and don't often change; firms respond to changes in demand by adjusting output instead of prices
Term
Shifts in the SAS Curve
Definition
  • input prices
  • expectations
  • sales and excise taxes
  • productivity
  • import prices
Term
Potential Output
Definition
  • the amount of goods and services an economy can produce when both capital and labor are fully employed
  • the position of the LAS curve depends on this
Term
Why is the LAS vertical?
Definition
because potential output is unaffected by the price leve
Term

What leads the LAS to shift to the right?

Definition
  • increases in capital
  • resources
  • growth-compatible institutions
  • technology
  • entrepreneurship increase potential output
Term

Recessionary Gap

 

Definition
the amount by which equilibrium output is below potential output
Term
Inflationary Gap
Definition

the amount by which equilibrium output is above potential output

 

Term
Fiscal Policy
Definition
Involves changing government spending and/or taxes to change aggregate demand
Term

To eliminate a recessoionary gap, fiscal policy should

Definition
increase government spending and/or decrease taxes
Term
to eliminate an inflationary gap, fiscal policy should
Definition
