Q

structural

Study These Flashcards
A

long term unemployment
-> no skills to transfer to another job

24
Q

Cyclical

Study These Flashcards
A

Unemployment when nation is going through economic hardships

25
natural rate of unemployment
healthy eco system -> US : 4 < x < 6% unemployment rate
26
inflation
rising general level of P + reduces purchasing power of money --> decreases investment and GDP
27
deflation
decreasing in general prices; a negative inflation rate
28
disinflation
inflation that occurs at a slower rate
29
inflation rate
% change in P from year to year
30
price indices
index numbers assigned to each year that show how P has changed relative to a specific base year.
31
consumer price index
(price of market basket) / (price of market basket in base year)
32
substitution bias
as P increase or fixed market basket, consumers buy less if these products and more substitutes that may not be part of market basket. (CPI may be higher than what consumers are really paying).
33
new products
CPI market basket may not include the newest consumer products. (CPI measures prices not the increase in choices
34
products Q
CPI ignores both improvements and decline in products Q
35
problems with CPI
- substitution bias - new products - product Q
36
lenders
people who lend money at fixed interest rates (hurt by inflation)
37
borrowers
people who borrow money
38
people who are hurt by inflation
- lenders - people with fixed incomes - savers
39
people who are helped by inflation
- borrowers - bus where P of products increases faster than P of resources
40
people who are helped by inflation
- borrowers - bus where P of products increases faster than P of resources
41
nominal wage
wage measured by money rather than purchasing power
42
real wage
wage adjusted for inflation
43
menu costs
costs money to change listed prices
44
shoe leather costs
costs of transaction increasing --> people reduce real money holding, so they must spend time and effort making additional trips to bank
45
unit of account cosrs
money doesnt reliably measure the value of G + S --> leads to less efficient use of resources bc of uncertainty caused by changes in currency values
46
real
adjusts for GDP
47
inflation
rising general level of prices
48
norminal GDP
GDP measured in current prices; doesnt account for inflation from year to year
49
real GDP
GDP measured in cibstant/ unchanging $; adjusts for inflation
50
GDP deflator
measures P of all goods produced; includes only G + S produced domestically. Imported goods not part of GDP thus wont show in GDP deflator
51
GDP deflator equation
nominal GDP / Real GDP * 100
52
recession
6 month period of decline in real GDP
53
peak
highest time of GDP
54
trough
lowest value of GDP
55
contraction
recession - increase in unemployment - decrease in GDP
