2 What is Macroeconomics? Macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole. It studies aggregate effects, such as: Business cycles Living standards (real incomes) Inflation Unemployment The balance of payments. It also asks how governments can use their monetary and fiscal policy instruments to help stabilise the economy.
3 Key Issues Why analyse macroeconomics? Measuring economic activity Building a macroeconomic model Macroeconomic problems and policy solutions
4 Real GDP at 1985 prices, United Kingdom , billion s billions
5 Real GDP growth rate, United Kingdom Annua al rate of ch ange per cen Year
6 Potential and actual GDP: UK potential gdp actual gdp Year
7 UK GDP Gap, Year 1970 percent of Y*
8 UK Claimant Count Unemployment, rce of workfo Per cent
9 UK Inflation (% per annum)
10 How Can We Measure National Output? Key concepts: Gross domestic product (GDP) Gross national income (GNI -used to be called GNP) in a closed economy GDP = GNI Aggregate supply and demand: d Controlling inflation and unemployment Fiscal and monetary policy
11 Avoiding Double Counting To avoid double counting, when measuring national output via spending on goods, the goods that count as part of the economy s output are called final goods; all others are called intermediate goods. Each firm s contribution to total output is equal to its value added: the gross value of the firm s output minus the value of all intermediate goods and services (the outputs of other firms) that it uses. The sum of all the values added produced in an p economy is called gross value added at basic prices (the prices received by producers net of taxes on products, plus subsidies).
12 Three Routes to GDP All output is owned by someone, and all output is bought by someone. Thus gross domestic product, [GDP] can be calculated in three different ways: 1) As the sum of value added by all producers of both intermediate and final goods 2) As the income claims generated by the total production of goods and services 3) As the expenditure needed to purchase all final goods and services produced during the period. These three methods reach the same total, so long as we add taxes on products [minus subsidies] to the first two in order to measure GDP at market prices.
13 The Circular Flow of Income, Output, and Expenditure Domestic households Financial System Abroad Government Domestic producers
14 An Example Suppose an economy has two firms: Firm A mines ore; it sell 300 worth to firm B, pays 200 to its workers, and makes 100 profit. Firm B makes consumer goods; it buys materials for 300 from firm A, pays 300 to its workers, sells it output for 800 and makes profit of 200. What is GDP?
15 Value of final goods sold = 800 Value added of two firms: Firm A = 300, Firm B = 500 so total = 800 Sum of incomes: Wages = ; profits = Sum of incomes: Wages ; profits so total = 800
16 Types of Final Expenditure From the expenditure side of the national accounts: GDP = C + I + G + [X - M]. C is private consumption expenditures. I is investment in fixed capital [including residential construction], inventories, and valuables. G is government consumption. (X -M) represents net exports, or exports minus imports; it will be negative if imports exceed exports. also referred to as NX
17 Sector Gross value added at current basic prices, by sector, UK, 2005 million % of GDP Agriculture, hunting, forestry and fisheries 10, Mining and quarrying 25, Manufacturing 148, Electricity, gas and water supply 24, Construction 65, Wholesale and retail trade 132, Hotels and restaurants 33, Transport and communications 81, Financial intermediation and real estate 266, Public administration and defence 54, Education 62, Health and social work 81, Other services 58, Gross value added at current basic prices Plus adjustment to current basic prices (taxes minus subsidies on products) 1,086, , = GDP at market prices 1,224,
18 Expenditure-based GDP and its components, UK, 2005 Expenditure Categories million % of GDP Individual consumption Household final consumption 760, Final consumption of non-profit institutions serving households 30, Individual government final consumption 165, Total actual individual consumption 956, Collective government final consumption 101, Total final consumption 1,058, Gross fixed capital formation 205, Change in inventories 3, Acquisition less disposals of valuables Total gross capital formation 209, Exports of goods and services 322, Less imports of goods and services -366, External balance of goods and services (net exports) -44, Statistical discrepancy 938 Gross domestic product at market prices (money GDP) 1,224,715, 100
19 GDP and GNI by Income type 2005 Income type million % of GDP Operating surplus, gross (profits) 312, Mixed incomes 76, Compensation of employees 684, Taxes on production and imports 162, Less subsidies -9, Statistical discrepancy GDP at market prices 1,224, Employees compensation Receipts from rest of world ,211 Less payment to rest of world Total -1, Less taxes on production paid to rest of world Plus subsidies received from -4, rest of world Other subsidies on production 3,216 Property and entrepreneurial income Receipts from rest of world 185,826 Less payments to rest of world -156,029 Total 29,797 Gross national income (GNI) at market prices 1,253,561
20 Real GDP is calculated to reflect changes in real volumes of output and real income. Nominal GDP reflects changes in both prices and quantities. Thus growth in nominal GDP can be split into real GDP growth plus inflation. Gross means that no allowance has been made for depreciation. Personal disposable income is the amount actually available for individuals to spend or to save (after taxes).
21 Building a Macro Model Assumptions used in building a macro model Key relationships: consumption investment The determination of GDP The multiplier The big idea : the Keynesian revolution
22 Key Assumptions Economy assumed to be one big industry Final spending is demand for output of this one industry Government purchases, consumption, investment and exports are all demands for the same output. Labour Output of goods Consumer spending Investment Government purchases Exportsimports
23 Temporary assumptions: More Assumptions Prices don t change, so all changes are in real (volume) terms There is excess capacity in production so output is demand determined Closed economy with no government Focus first on: GDP = C + I [+ G + (X-M)] Use symbol Y for GDP So first explain GDP using determinants t of C and I. C is an endogenous variable determined within the model I is an exogenous variable determined outside the model
24 The Circular Flow of Income, Output, and Expenditure Domestic households Financial System Abroad Government Domestic producers
25 Consumption and Saving If personal disposable income rises, households spend some of the increase and save the rest. This is measured by the marginal propensity to consume [MPC] and the marginal propensity to save [MPS], which are both positive and sum to one. Relation between consumption and income might be: C = a + by a is referred to as autonomous consumption. It is the amount that consumers spend when income is zero. b is the marginal propensity to consume. This implies a relation for saving: S = -a +(1b)Y (1-b)Y
26 Consumer spending and personal disposable income, UK, quarterly, ( M at constant 2002 prices) at 2002 pri ice Disposable income million Consumer spending Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q1
27 Consumption and Saving Relationships: empirical example C = Y where C is consumer spending in a period, Y is personal disposable income (which in absence of taxes and retained profit = GDP). Autonomous C = 100; Marginal propensity to consume = 0.8. S = Y Marginal propensity to save = 0.2
28 Consumption and Saving Schedules [ Million] Disposable Income Desired consumption Desired saving
29 The Consumption and Saving Functions C S Real Disposable Income (i). Consumption Function[ million] Real Disposable Income (ii). Saving Function[ million]
30 Investment Here we treat investment as an exogenous variable, that is, it is determined outside the model. Later we can make investment depend on the interest rate. In general investment will depend on expectations of future demand growth as well as interest rates. For our numerical example investment is constant at 250.
31 The Aggregate Expenditure Function in a Closed Economy With No Government [ Million] GDP [National Income] [Y] Desired consumption expenditure [C = Y] Desired investment expenditure [I = 250] Desired aggregate expenditure [AE = C + I]
32 Equilibrium GDP At the equilibrium level of GDP, purchasers wish to buy exactly the amount of national output that is being produced. At GDP above equilibrium, desired expenditure falls short of national output, and output will sooner or later be curtailed. At GDP below equilibrium, desired expenditure exceeds national output, and output will sooner or later be increased. In a closed economy with no government, desired saving equals desired investment at equilibrium GDP. Equilibrium GDP is represented graphically by the point at which the aggregate expenditure curve cuts the 45 0 line, that is, where total desired expenditure equals total output. This is the same level of GDP at which the saving function intersects the investment function.
33 The Determination of Equilibrium GDP GDP [National Income] [Y] Desired aggregate expenditure [AE = C + I] Shortage of goods Pressure on Y to rise Equilibrium Y Surplus production. Pressure on Y to fall
34 Equilibrium GDP [AE = Y] E 0 Y Real National Income [GDP] [ m] Desired sa aving ( m m) Y S I 3000 Real National Income [GDP] [ m] [i]. An Aggregate Expenditure Function[AE = Y] [ii]. Saving Function[S = I]
35 How Does the Equilibrium Come About? For GDP to remain unchanged injections of spending and leakages must be just equal; otherwise GDP would be changing Imagine a bath with the tap running and no plug. For the water level to be stable the water flowing in and the water flowing out must be the same.
36 The Model Solution The model is: Y = C + I C = a + by Solve for Y by substituting for C in first equation Y = a + by + I so: Y - by = a + I or Y = (a + I)/(1-b) Numerical example: C = Y & I = 250 So Y = Y Or Y = ( )/ (1-0.8) = 350 x 5 = 1750
37 Changes in GDP Equilibrium GDP is increased by a rise in exogenous spending or injections or a fall in withdrawals. Equilibrium GDP is decreased by a fall in injections or a rise in withdrawals. The magnitude of the effect on GDP of shifts in autonomous expenditure is given by the multiplier. It is defined as K = Y/ A, where A is the change in autonomous or exogenous expenditure. It is equal to 1/(1 - z), where z is the marginal propensity to consume. Thus the larger z is, the larger is the multiplier. In the absence of taxes and foreign trade the multiplier li is: 1/(1-b) where b is the marginal propensity to consume If b = 0.8 then the multiplier li = 5.
38 The Simple Multiplier AE = Y AE 0 e 0 E Y0 Real National Income [GDP]
39 The Simple Multiplier AE = Y AE 1 E 1 e 1 e a e 1 AE 0 A e 0 E Y 0 Y 0 Y 1 Real National Income [GDP]
40 New solution when I rises from 250 to 350 Old level of GDP was 1750 Y = C+I Y = Y Y - 0.8Y = 450 Y = 450 x 5 Y = 2250 Increase in Y is change in I times the multiplier Change in I is 100 and multiplier is 5 So change in Y is 500. At new level l of GDP: S= (.2 x 2250) = 350
41 The Multiplier: Intuition If there is an increase of exogenous spending of 100, this generates 100 of extra income and 80 gets spent. The 80 generates extra income of 80 and 0.8 of this gets spent---creating 64 of extra income. 0.8 of this gets spent generating of extra income. Total income generated is: This sum converges to 500.
42 The Multiplier: a Numerical Example Spending round
43 Implications of the Multiplier The multiplier comes about because consumer spending is a function of household incomes, but household incomes are themselves affected by consumer spending! (the circular flow of income) The result is that a small change in one part of our model (eg. I, G, or the MPC) can have a large impact on GDP by the time the economy has reached a new equilibrium.
44 The Classical View of Unemployment Economists used to regard the labour market as just like any other market. If there was an excess supply of labour, this must mean that the price (wages) is too high. h But this theory left economists unable to come up with a satisfactory explanation of the great depression......let alone come up with any solutions!
45 The Classical View of Unemployment D Z Z S Y Y X X W W V V U U Employment
46 The Big Idea : Keynesian Revolution Unemployment is mainly determined by aggregate spending. Thus the economy can get stuck in a vicious circle (low aggregate spending => low GDP => high unemployment => low aggregate spending). Cutting wages would make matters worse by further reducing consumer demand! One solution is for government to use its own spending (and tax changes) to boost demand. The budget then became a tool for managing the economy (discretionary fiscal policy).

50 Aggregate g Demand and Supply So far we have assumed that GDP is determined by demand. This is the case if there is excess capacity in the economy (no supply-side constraints). t Our model also has no role for prices, so it cannot explain inflation. So next we incorporate the price level and derive the aggregate demand curve. We then add the aggregate supply curve, which enables us to determine both real GDP and the price level.
51 Aggregate Demand What happens to AE as we change the price level? A fall in the price level shifts the AE curve upwards A rise in the price level shifts the AE curve downwards. The reasons: A rise in the price level lowers exports because it raises the relative price of domestic goods A rise in the price level l lowers private consumption spending because it decreases the real value of consumers wealth. Both of these changes lower equilibrium GDP and cause the aggregate demand curve to have a negative slope. The AD curve plots the equilibrium level of GDP that corresponds to each possible price level. A change in equilibrium GDP following a change in the price level is shown by a movement along the AD curve.

53 AD Meaning and Shifts The AD curve is drawn for given values of all exogenous expenditures and other parameters Each point on AD shows, for each P, the level of real GDP that is consistent with: desired spending = actual output (as determined by spending decisions) injections = withdrawals When an exogenous variable changes, the AD curve shifts at each price level by the shift in spending times the multiplier.
54 Shifts in Aggregate Demand The AD curve shifts when any element of exogenous expenditure changes. The multiplier times the shift in exogenous spending measures the magnitude of the shift. An increase in a, G, I, X, or a fall in T shift AD to the right. A fall in a, G, I, X, or a rise in T shift AD to the left.
55 The Simple Multiplier and Shifts in the AD Curve AE = Y E 1 AE 1 Desired Ex xpenditure A E 0 AE 0 [i]. Aggregate Expenditure 45 o 0 Y 0 Y 1 Real GDP E 0 E 1 P 0 [ii]. Aggregate Demand Y AD 0 0 Y 0 Y 1 AD 1 Real GDP
56 Aggregate Supply The short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is drawn for given input prices, given technology and fixed capital stock. It is positively sloped because unit costs rise with increasing output and because rising product prices make it profitable to increase output. An increase in productivity or a decrease in input prices shifts the SRAS curve to the right. A decrease in productivity or an increase in input prices shifts the SRAS curve to the left.
57 A Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve Price level SRAS P 1 P 0 Y 0 Y 1 Real GDP
58 Macroeconomic Equilibrium Macroeconomic equilibrium is where the AD and SRAS curves intersect. Shifts in the AD and SRAS curves, called aggregate g demand shocks and aggregate g supply shocks, change the equilibrium values of real GDP and the price level. When the SRAS curve is positively sloped, an aggregate demand shock causes the price level and real GDP to move in the same direction, the division between these effects depending on the shape of the SRAS curve. The main effect is on real GDP when the SRAS curve is flat and on the price level when it is steep.
59 Macroeconomic Equilibrium AD SRAS P 0 E 0 0 Y 0 Real GDP
60 Supply Shocks An aggregate supply shock moves equilibrium real GDP along the AD curve, causing the price level and output to move in opposite directions. A leftward shift in the SRAS curve causes stagflation: rising prices and falling output. A rightward shift causes an increase in real GDP and a fall in the price level. The division of the effects of a shift in SRAS between a change in real GDP and a change in the price level depends on the shape of the AD curve.
61 Aggregate Supply Shift AD SRAS P 0 E 0 P 1 0 Y Y 0 1 Real GDP
62 Starting from AD = SRAS there can be two types of shock: Aggregate demand shock involves a change in some exogenous spending category: a, I, G (or T) and X. An increase in a, I, G, or X shifts AD left or right by size of change times the multiplier. Price level l then changes and makes multiplier li smaller, but P and Y respond to AD shock in same direction. When there is an aggregate supply shock, P and Y move in opposite directions. There are some special cases.
63 Keynesian SRAS Curve AD E 0 SRAS P 0 0 Y 0 Real GDP
64 Classical or Monetarist SRAS AD SRAS P 0 0 Y 0 Real GDP
65 General Case AD SRAS P 0 0 Y 0 Real GDP
66 Lessons of the 1970s and 1980s Inflation is persistent Expected inflation rises, so workers demand higher wage increases (wage-price spiral). If inflation is high, employees demand high wage rises. Firms then raise prices to maintain margins. Inflation expectations are important. Unemployment is persistent The long-term unemployed become less attractive to employers. Hence wage inflation tends to increase even when unemployment relatively high.
67 What About The Money Supply? Monetarists argued that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, so if you can control the money supply, you can control inflation. But although money is involved in every transaction, it is seldom the cause of the transaction. The relationship between money and inflation is not stable, so it is not a reliable means of controlling inflation. Furthermore, in a modern economy, the money supply (largely in the form of bank accounts) is hard to control, or even measure.
68 Evolution of macro-economic policymaking Classical ( s) Free markets with no government interference Keynesian (1930s 1970s) Discretionary demand management used to regulate economy Monetarist (1970s 1980s) Control o money suppy supply to control o inflation ato Supply-side measures to help markets move to equilibrium Markets should then clear to achieve full employment Instead the economy entered deep recession in early 1980s. Monetarist theory discredited. Current pragmatic system Inflation expectations are important, so objectives must be clear and credible Independent central bank avoids political motives
69 Fiscal policy Stabilisation Policies Budget deficit it boosts demandd But cyclical adjustment is needed to be sure Substantial lags: obtaining data, implementation and impact of policy shift. Hence net effect could be destabilising. Monetary policy Interest t rates affect investment t and consumer spending Governments now generally set fiscal policy and leave the central bank to use monetary policy to stabilise the economy.
