1 Economics in Use GBA BANKING SCHOOL MAY 2 ND, 2016 UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHENS, GEORGIA

2 Professor Evans Rules of Business 1) Buy low, sell high 2) Everything happens where the lines meet on the graph; outside of this point, someone is making money and someone is losing money 3) The truth is negotiable and subject to change due to fluctuations in market conditions

3 Economic Principles

4 Real World Economics

5 Review of Economic Models CAPITALISM: You have two cows; you sell one and buy a bull. You breed a herd, sell it, and retire on the income SOCIALISM: You have two cows; you give one to your neighbor COMMUNISM: You have two cows; the state takes both and gives you milk FASCISM: You have two cows; the state takes both and sells you some milk

6 Elements within Capitalism CORPORATION: You have two cows; you sell one and make the other produce the milk of four cows. You then hire a consultant to analyze why that cow dropped dead. GOVERNMENT: You have two cows; the state takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away

7 Economic Schools of Thought Classical Theory Keynesian (Positive) Adam Smith s Invisible Hand John Maynard Keynes Leave the market to its own devices and it will naturally find a point of equilibrium that will bring stability and prosperity; NO GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION! Friedrich Hayek (Austrian) Aggregate demand is a key driver in the economy, and in downturns (like Great Depression) AD drops, leading to unnecessary unemployment. Gov can manipulate AD to smooth out cycles

8 Recent Economic Thought Neoclassical Synthesis Two Parts to Keynesian Method Blends Classical and Keynesian: Government can intervene BUT only to a point where the markets will self-regulate Stimulate in downturn AND Pay back in recovery Current system seems to have forgotten the back half of the equation! Did Bernanke s movements stimulate Aggregate Demand?

9 Aggregate Demand The total demand for goods and services within an economy at a certain point. This can be influenced by government either through monetary policy and/or fiscal policy Monetary Policy: The Fed can shift the aggregate demand curve when it changes monetary policy. An increase in the money supply shifts the money supply curve to the right. Without a change in the money demand curve, the interest rate falls. Falling interest rates increase the quantity of goods and services demanded.

10 Aggregate Demand Fiscal Policy Tools: Government Spending Taxation Remember austerity measures, expiration of tax cuts, etc? All of this affects economic performance

11 GDP: Gross Domestic Product

12 Recent GDP Composition

13 Net Exports: Impact of Strong Dollar Imports: Less Expensive for Us Exports: More Expensive for Them

14 Consumption: Medical Expenditures Just the Beginning of ACA Effects

15 Consumption: Changes in Preferences 55,000 50,000 45,000 40,000 Grocery Food Service 35,000 30,000 Jan-2010 Mar-2010 May-2010 Jul-2010 Sep-2010 Nov-2010 Jan-2011 Mar-2011 May-2011 Jul-2011 Sep-2011 Nov-2011 Jan-2012 Mar-2012 May-2012 Jul-2012 Sep-2012 Nov-2012 Jan-2013 Mar-2013 May-2013 Jul-2013 Sep-2013 Nov-2013 Jan-2014 Mar-2014 May-2014 Jul-2014 Sep-2014 Nov-2014 Jan-2015 Mar-2015 May-2015 Jul first year ever where more was spent on restaurants than groceries!

16 Unemployment Rate U-3 Unemployment Rate: unemployed/labor force Official US unemployment rate; the percentage of labor force that is currently unemployed but was available for job in last four weeks and was actively seeking employment in that period. U-5 Unemployment Rate: Adds discouraged and marginally attached workers U-6 Unemployment Rate: Adds workers who are part-time for purely economic reasons
