5 Questions Which workers are consider employed? Which are unemployed?(2011mid1 M10) Additional Reading 3: Q1 What is unemployment(employment) rate? What is labor force? Given the number of unemployed and employed, can you compute unemployment(employment) rate? (PEQ3 Q1-3; 2012Mid1 M17; 2012Mid1 M21;2011Mid1 M22 ) What is participation rate? (2012Mid1 M22)(2011Mid1 M24) Additional Reading 3: Q2 What are discouraged workers? In a recession,how would their number change? How would change affect unemployment rate? (2012Mid1 M Mid1 M24 ) What are the three types of unemployment? What do they refer to?(2011mid1 E3) Chapter 7:, and
6 2012Mid1 M17 Page If the number of people classified as unemployed is 10,145 and the number of people classified as employed is 620,000, what is the unemployment rate? A 0.016% B 0.15% C 1.59% D 1.61% E 1.64% Chapter 7:, and
7 2012Mid1 M17 Page If the number of people classified as unemployed is 10,145 and the number of people classified as employed is 620,000, what is the unemployment rate? A 0.016% B 0.15% C 1.59% D 1.61% E 1.64% number of unemployed number of unemployed +number of employed 10,145 = 10, ,000 =1.61% Chapter 7:, and
8 2012Mid1 M21 Page 194 to the information provided in Table 7.1 below to answer the question that follows. Table 1: Information on employment employed 11,000 unemployed 2,500 not in the labor force 3,000 Chapter 7:, and
9 2012Mid1 M21 Page 194 Refer to Table 7.1. The unemployment rate is A 9.09% B 18.5%. C 15.8% D 16.9% Chapter 7:, and
10 2012Mid1 M21 Page 194 Refer to Table 7.1. The unemployment rate is A 9.09% B 18.5%. C 15.8% D 16.9% number of unemployed number of unemployed +number of employed = = 18.5% Chapter 7:, and
11 2011Mid1 M22 Page 205 Carla lost her job and immediately started looking for another job.as a result the A labor force increases B unemployment rate increases C unemployment rate remains constant D labor force decreases Chapter 7:, and
12 2011Mid1 M22 Page 205 Carla lost her job and immediately started looking for another job.as a result the A labor force increases B unemployment rate increases C unemployment rate remains constant D labor force decreases The labor force remains constant because labor force=employed(-1)+unemployed(+1). Carla moves from an employed to an unemployed but she did not leave the labor force. However the unemployment rate increases because Rate = unemployed labor force Chapter 7:, and
13 2012Mid1 M22 Page 195 Refer to the information provided in Table 7.2 below to answer the question that follows. Table 2: Information on employment Labor Participation Rate 65% Total population 16 years of age and older 210 million Rate 5% Chapter 7:, and
14 2012Mid1 M22 Page 195 Refer to Table 7.2. The total number of people employed is A million. B million. C million. D million. Chapter 7:, and
15 2012Mid1 M22 Page 195 Refer to Table 7.2. The total number of people employed is A million. B million. C million. D million. Labor force = Populaion Participation Rate = = 136.5(m); number of employed = Labor Force (1 unemployment rate) = (1 5%) = (m) Chapter 7:, and
16 2012Mid1 M18 Page 194 During recessions, the number of discouraged workers and this the unemployment rate? A falls; reduces B decreases; increases C increases; reduces D increases; increases Chapter 7:, and
17 2012Mid1 M18 Page 194 During recessions, the number of discouraged workers and this the unemployment rate? A falls; reduces B decreases; increases C increases; reduces D increases; increases Chapter 7:, and
18 2012Mid1 M18 Page 194 In recession,discouraged workers would increase since more people may feel so frustrated about not being able to find a job that they give up searching, therefore leaving labor force. This would lead to an underestimation of the unemployed. unemployment rate = unemployed(a) x labor force(b) x Why? this has to do with "salt water inequality" which says a x b x < a b where x < a < b( You can think of it as the concentration of a cup of salt water, when you add some salt, it would taste saltier and vice versa.) Chapter 7:, and
19 2011Mid1 M24 Page 205 Mike has just graduated from college and is now looking for a job,but has not yet found one. This causes the unemployment rate to and the labor force participation rate to. A increase; stay the same B increase;decrease C stay the same;stay the same D increase; increase Chapter 7:, and
20 2011Mid1 M24 Page 205 Mike has just graduated from college and is now looking for a job,but has not yet found one. This causes the unemployment rate to and the labor force participation rate to. A increase; stay the same B increase;decrease C stay the same;stay the same D increase; increase Recall unemployment rate = unemployed(a)+1 labor force(b)+1. Using "salt water inequality" a+1 b+1 > a b when a < b, we know that unemployment rate would increase. For participation rate, because population of 16 years or older remains constant and labor force increases by one, so labor force +1 participation rate = pop.16 years or older Chapter 7:, and

46 CPI PPI vs GDP Deflator HW7 Question9 Compared to GDP, CPI includes a different range of goods and services (e.g it doesn t include investment goods or exported goods BUT includes imported consumption goods). Compared to GDP, CPI is based on a fixed basket of goods and services while the "basket" for GDP deflator is allowed to change with people s consumption and investment patterns. This would lead to CPI overestimating inflation by ignoring "substitution effect".therefore, substituting for relatively low priced item would reduce the value of GDP deflator which CPI fails to capture. Compared to PPI, CPI may underestimate the inflation without accounting for the rise in the prices of intermediate goods which PPI include. Chapter 7:, and

49 2012Mid1 M19 Page 194 If the CPI in 2010 was and the CPI in 2011 was 142.6, then the rate of inflation between 2010 and 2011 was A 11.1%. B 12.9% C 13.9%. D 14.3%. Chapter 7:, and
50 2012Mid1 M19 Page 194 If the CPI in 2010 was and the CPI in 2011 was 142.6, then the rate of inflation between 2010 and 2011 was A 11.1%. B 12.9% C 13.9%. D 14.3%. inflation rate is the rate of change in CPI between 2010 and 2011, thus % = 13.9% Chapter 7:, and
51 2012Mid1 M20 Page 194 You want to make a 2% real return on a loan that you are planning to make, and the expected inflation rate during the period of the loan is -1%. You should charge a nominal interest rate of A 1%. B 3%. C -3%. D 2%. Chapter 7:, and
52 2012Mid1 M20 Page 194 You want to make a 2% real return on a loan that you are planning to make, and the expected inflation rate during the period of the loan is -1%. You should charge a nominal interest rate of A 1%. B 3%. C -3%. D 2%. A: Nominal interest rate incorporates the inflation rate as a compensation to the creditor for the value loss of each unit of money in the inflation(this erodes purchasing power),i.e. nominal interest rate=real interest rate(real return) + inflation rate=2%+(-1%)=1%. In this case,deflation,so the creditor gains from the change in money value and demand less than interest rate. Chapter 7:, and
53 Q: Who gains from inflation? A: borrowers on fixed rate debts Ex. Suppose you rent an apartment on Green Street for $100 per month but you consider buying a house for 100,000 dollars. Busey Bank offers you a 30-years fixed-rate mortgage at 10 percent. 100, 000 (1 +.1) = 110, 000$ You monthly payment: 110, , 000 = = 305.6$ > 100$ Also, the projected rent payment path indexed with inflation rate 15 percent is like this year 1 year 2 year 3 year 4 year 5 year 6 year 7 year After 8 years, you ll be paying less for the house than the apartment you need to rent Chapter 7:, and
54 Q: Who loses from inflation? A: Mainly people living on fixed incomes. Ex. Suppose a person started in 1960 to pay a retirement plan. Every Month, until she retired in 2000, she had to pay 100 dollars. The benefits are 1200 dollars each month. In 1960, the living cost per month was 700 dollars but in 2000, it was 1500 dollars. So if retirement benefits are fixed but not indexed to inflation rate, inflation hurts people living on fixed incomes Chapter 7:, and
55 2012Fin M27 Page 271 What is the impact of inflation that is higher than expected? A It benefits creditors B It benefits debtors C It makes the allocation of resources more efficient D There is no effect on resource allocation Chapter 7:, and
56 2012Fin M27 Page 271 What is the impact of inflation that is higher than expected? A It benefits creditors B It benefits debtors C It makes the allocation of resources more efficient D There is no effect on resource allocation A: Since Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - inflation rate. a higher-than expected inflation would reduce the real interest rate paid from debtors to creditors that would have been higher without excessive inflation. Therefore, this implies the real return debtors pay to creditors have been lowered which of course would benefit debtors Chapter 7:, and
57 2012Fin M27 Page 271 Remarks If inflation is higher than expected, we know that Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate inflation rate, so it benefits debtors (borrowers) and hurts creditors (lenders) and vice versa. In this case, the income is going to be distributed from creditors to debtors and vice versa. Keep in mind that this conclusion only applies to lender and borrowers on fixed nominal interest rates.if nominal interest rate is indexed to inflation rate, an adjustment after inflation rate is realized can lead to real interest rate remaining the same. Chapter 7:, and
58 2012Fin M27 Page 271 Remarks Similarly, given that nominal wage is fixed, under a situation where inflation is higher than expected, the purchasing power is going to be redistributed from wager earners to producers. For more information, go to Additional Reading 3: Question 4 Chapter 7:, and
59 2012 Mid1 E4a a. Explain how inflation can redistribute income? Chapter 7:, and
60 2012 Mid1 E4a a. Explain how inflation can redistribute income? A: There is redistribution from creditors to debtors (on fixed nominal interest rate loan). Debtors pay their loans in future dollars,which are worth less. Creditors earn a real rate of return that declines if it is a fixed nominal interest rate loan Chapter 7:, and
61 2012 Mid1 E4b Explain the administrative costs associated with inflation. Chapter 7:, and
62 2012 Mid1 E4b Explain the administrative costs associated with inflation. A: When inflation rises rapidly, this reduces the value of money, increasing the opportunity cost of holding cash. To avoid this, people keep less cash in the pocket and go more often to banks to make transactions. This wastes time, which is one of our main endowments. Chapter 7:, and
63 2012 Mid1 E4c.If inflation is a bad thing, deflation must be beneficial from a macroeconomic perspective. Is this statement true or false? Explain. Chapter 7:, and
64 2012 Mid1 E4c.If inflation is a bad thing, deflation must be beneficial from a macroeconomic perspective. Is this statement true or false? Explain. A: This statement is false because of the following reasons. 1 Government cannot lower interest rate to counter recession. 2 Consumers wait to purchase so worsen recession. 3 Deflation redistributes income form debtor to creditor.
