1 Unemployment, Inflation, and Interest Rates As real GDP (Y) (spending by consumers (C) + businesses (J) + the government ( G) + foreigners ( X) ( net exports: exportsimports) changes over time, so do other economic variables, such as unemployment, inflation, and interest rates. These economic variables give us a better understanding of the human story behind the changes in real GDP and why real GDP changes over time. Page 1
2 Interest Rates The interest rate is the amount lenders charge when they lend money, expressed as a percentage of the amount loaned. For example, if you borrow $100 for a year from a friend and the interest rate on the loan is 6%, at the end of the year you must pay your friend back $6 in interest in addition to the $100 you borrowed. Not a nice friend!! The interest rate is another key economic variable that is related to the growth and change in real GDP (Y) of a country's economy over time.

3 Interest Rates (cont.) When interest rates are down, people borrow and spend more because it is cheaper to. When interest rates are up or rising, people spend less, which can lead to a recession and usually higher unemployment because less is purchased. This leads to companies laying off employees. Laid off, the former employees then spend less which leads to less purchases, and so on. An interest rate that does not change, such as a 5-year car loan at 2%, is referred to as a fixed interest rate, while those that can change are referred to as flexible interest rates.

4 Interest Rates (cont.) The fluctuations in interest rates are intimately connected with the trends and fluctuations in inflation and real GDP (Y). When inflation rises, people who lend money will be paid back in the long-run (LR) with funds that are worth less because the average price of goods rises more quickly than inflation. To compensate for this decline in the value of funds, lenders require a higher interest rate just in case inflation rises during the loan. For example, if a bank lends someone $10,000 for a year at 6%, but inflation unexpectedly pushes the interest rate to 9%, then the bank is actually at -3% interest. The bank loses and the borrower gains because inflation was higher than expected; the borrower paid less for the loan. Interest rates influence people's economic behavior. When interest rates rise, it is more expensive to borrow money or to buy a house or a car, so many people postpone such purchases. Page 4
5 Macroeconomics Do-Now Please do this: 1. If a bank lends you $50,000 at 4 /o fixed interest for your college costs, but inflation moves the interest rate to 6.5 /o. Is the bank the winner or are you the winner? Explain. You are the winner because you got the loan for less than the current interest rate. :-) 2. If a bank lends you $2,000,000 at 9o/o fixed interest for surgery, but the change in the price level moves the interest rate to 7 /o. Is the bank the winner or are you the winner? Explain. You lose. :-( The bank is the winner because you got the loan for more than the current interest rate.
6 Interest Rates (cont.) Economists define the term nominal interest rate as the interest rate on a loan, making no adjustments for inflation ( a loan of 9%, including 5% inflation ). The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate (9% - 5% == 4% ). The real interest rate is adjusted for the growth rate of the economy. real interest rate= nominal interest rate - h. fl... d. fl. soa (inflation rate) t e In ation rate or anticipate In ation rate -~ 0 ( 9% (nominal interest rate) i nterest rate) 40; 0 rea 1 Fully anticipated increases in inflation lead to increased nominal rates, like when the government spends money during a recession to grow the economy. Deficit spending by a country also leads to an increase in the nominal interest rate. If nominal interest rates are low, people and businesses borrow and spend more. The chance of inflation and recession then grow. If rates are high, there is less chance of inflation or recession. -
7 The Interest Rate and Inflation The figure below represents the monetary policy rule graphically. The nominal interest rate must rise by more than the inflation rate if the real interest rate is to rise when inflation rises.

13 Different Types of Interest Rates and Their Behavior There are many different interest rates in the economy. The mortgage interest rate is the rate on loans to buy a house. The Treasury bill rate is the interest rate the government pays when it borrows money from people for a year or less. The federal funds rate is the short-term interest rate banks charge other banks on overnight loans; this rate can be adjusted up or down by actions taken by the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") to grow the economy and slow down inflation. To increase the money supply and grow the economy, the government buys bonds from banks to increase the amount of money banks can loan. Bonds (securities) are loans that people give out with their money to a company or government and they promise to pay you back in full, with regular interest payments. When the Fed buys or sell bonds it is called monetary policy, and it is critical in making an economy stable. When the Fed sets higher interest rates, the banks pass along the higher rates to borrowers, and vice versa when rates go down ~ocab. quiz next class
14 The Federal Funds Rate When inflation is high, the federal funds rate is low to grow the economy. When inflation is low, the federal funds rate increases to slow down the economy by slowing spending. - ) ~ i~~~~~ ~ l 8-6 Qi u..l,.,j~l.i.l,,..,l.l~l..11,...&.j~...,a..:u~..jr-:&,..1,~..a,.../l...l.j...l...l,...l.a...lu,...l...l..l,,j-1,...:,1...:&...ll,,j,...l.&...l...l,:lii ~...,_ :a..,..;, 195 1\ lj9 0 1:9~ : (), n
