In the SOLOW MODEL
what is the steady state and its characteristics ?
sY = dK
Inet = 0
In the SOLOW MODEL
What is the consumption?
Y - sY (between Y curve and sY curve)
In the SOLOW MODEL
What are the axis ?
Y, sY, dK
And
K
In the SOLOW MODEL
What are the curves ?
dK
Y = AF(K)
sY = sAF(K) : total savings
In the SOLOW MODEL
What is Inet?
sY - dK (between sY curve and dK curve)
In the SOLOW MODEL
What are the characteristics of being under the steady state ?
dK < sY
Inet > 0
In the SOLOW MODEL
What are the characteristics of being over the steady state ?
dK > sY
Inet < 0
In the SOLOW MODEL
What happens if the saving rate (s) increases ?
sY curve shift upward
So Inet increase
But consumption decrease
K* and Y* increase
So Y increase until we get to the new steady state
In the SOLOW MODEL
What happens if the depreciation rate (d) increases ?
dK curve became more vertical
So Inet decrease
But consumption don’t change
K* and Y* decrease
So Y decrease until we get to the new steady state
In the SOLOW MODEL
What happens if A or Kh increase ?
Both Y curve and sY curve shift upward
So Inet increase
But consumption don’t change
K* and Y* increase
So Y increase
Since we can increase technology with no limit, A is the key to having a continual growth
What is the PPC MODEL
Production possibilities curve
It represent the trade off between 2 goods in the economy
In the PPC MODEL
What is the type of curve and why ?
It’s a concave curve (since it’s not always a constant trade off)
In the PPC MODEL
What are the axis ?
The two goods
Exemple : good Y and good X
So:
Y
And
X
In the PPC MODEL
What happen if the economy is on the PPC curve ?
To produce more good X one must sacrifice production of good Y
To produce more good Y one must sacrifice production of good X
There is an opportunity cost (OC) because ressources must be reallocated from one sector to another
In the PPC MODEL
What happen if the economy is inside the PPC curve ?
It means we are making waste
The production is not efficient
In the PPC MODEL
What happen if the economy is outside the PPC curve ?
It is not feasible
To meet these not feasible production we must increase our productivity
In the PPC MODEL
What happen if we increase technology (productivity in one good) ?
It is only the X that increase
That allow the achievement of a previously impossible production (initially outside the PPC curve)
In the PPC MODEL
What happen to the OC of a good if we increase technology (increase of productivity in the other good) ?
If we increase the productivity of X for exemple then the OC of Y increase
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
What are the axis?
Wages (w)
And
Amount of labour (L)
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
What are the curves?
Supply (S) : households
Demand (D) : firms
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
Where is the equilibrium point and what are its characteristics ?
At the intersection of S and D curve
L* (Ls = LD) and w*
Unemployment is 0 (u = 0)
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
What is the effect of a wage increase ?
Above the equilibrium wage (w*)
Ls > LD
More people want to work than there are jobs to fill
More unemployment
Less output so GDP/cap decrease
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
What is the effect of a wage decrease ?
Under the equilibrium wage (w*)
Ls < LD
Less people want to work than there are jobs to fill
More labor shortage (less unemployment)
More output so GDP/cap increase
In the LABOUR MARKET MODEL
What is the effect of a drop in demand (rigid wage)?
Demand curve shift to the left
Ls > LD
More people want to work than there are jobs to fill
More unemployment
Less output so GDP/cap decrease
