Consumption and investment fluctuate with GDP, but consumption tends to be less volatile and investment more volatile than GDP. Unemployment rises during recessions and falls during expansions. Okun’s Law: the negative relationship between GDP and unemployment. Index of Leading Economic Indicators Published monthly by the Conference Board. Aims to forecast changes in economic activity 6-9 months into the future. Used in planning by businesses and govt, despite not being a perfect predictor.

Short run Many prices are “sticky” at a predetermined level. The economy behaves much differently when prices are sticky. Recap of classical macro theory Output is determined by the supply side: – supplies of capital, labor – technology Changes in demand for goods & services (C, I, G ) only affect prices, not quantities. Assumes complete price flexibility. Applies to the long run. When prices are sticky… …output and employment also depend on demand, which is affected by: – fiscal policy (G and T ) – monetary policy (M ) – other factors, like exogenous changes in C or I AD/AS Model The paradigm most mainstream economists and policymakers use to think about economic fluctuations and policies to stabilize the economy Shows how the price level and aggregate output are determined Shows how the economy’s behavior is different in the short run and long run Aggregate demand The aggregate demand curve shows the relationship between the price level and the quantity of output demanded. we use a simple theory of AD based on the quantity theory of money. Recall the quantity equation MV = PY For given values of M and V, this equation implies an inverse relationship between P and Y : Y= MV/P The downward-sloping AD curve An increase in the price level causes a fall in real money balances (M/P ), P causing a decrease in the demand for goods & services. AD Y Shifting the AD curve P An increase in the money supply shifts the AD curve to the right. AD2 AD1 Y Aggregate supply in the long run Recall from Chapter 3: In the long run, output is determined by factor supplies and technology Y F (K , L ) Y is the full-employment or natural level of output, at which the economy’s resources are fully employed. “Full employment” means that unemployment equals its natural rate (not zero). The long-run aggregate supply curve P LRAS Y does not depend on P, so LRAS is vertical. Y F (K , L ) Y Long-run effects of an increase in M P In the long run, this raises the price level… LRAS P2 An increase in M shifts AD to the right. P1 AD2 AD1 …but leaves output the same. Y Y Aggregate supply in the short run Many prices are sticky in the short run. For now we assume – all prices are stuck at a predetermined level in the short run. – firms are willing to sell as much at that price level as their customers are willing to buy. Therefore, the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve is horizontal: The short-run aggregate supply curve The SRAS curve is horizontal: The price level is fixed at a predetermined level, and firms sell as much as buyers demand. P P SRAS Y Short-run effects of an increase in M In the short run when prices are sticky,… P …an increase in aggregate demand… SRAS AD2 AD1 P …causes output to rise. Y1 Y2 Y From the short run to the long run Over time, prices gradually become “unstuck.” When they do, will they rise or fall? In the short-run equilibrium, if then over time, P will… Y Y rise Y Y fall Y Y remain constant The adjustment of prices is what moves the economy to its long-run equilibrium. The SR & LR effects of M > 0 A = initial equilibrium B = new shortrun eq’m after Fed increases M C = long-run equilibrium P LRAS C P2 P B A Y Y2 SRAS AD2 AD1 Y How shocking!!! shocks: exogenous changes in agg. supply or demand Shocks temporarily push the economy away from full employment. Example: exogenous decrease in velocity If the money supply is held constant, a decrease in V means people will be using their money in fewer transactions, causing a decrease in demand for goods and services. The effects of a negative demand shock AD shifts left, depressing output and employment in the short run. Over time, prices fall and the economy moves down its demand curve toward fullemployment. P P LRAS B P2 A SRAS C AD1 AD2 Y2 Y Y Supply shocks A supply shock alters production costs, affects the prices that firms charge. (also called price shocks) Examples of adverse supply shocks: – Bad weather reduces crop yields, pushing up food prices. – Workers unionize, negotiate wage increases. – New environmental regulations require firms to reduce emissions. Firms charge higher prices to help cover the costs of compliance. Favorable supply shocks lower costs and prices. CASE STUDY: The 1970s oil shocks Early 1970s: OPEC coordinates a reduction in the supply of oil. Oil prices rose 11% in 1973 68% in 1974 16% in 1975 Such sharp oil price increases are supply shocks because they significantly impact production costs and prices. CASE STUDY: The 1970s oil shocks The oil price shock shifts SRAS up, causing output and employment to fall. In absence of further price shocks, prices will fall over time and economy moves back toward full employment. P P2 LRAS B SRAS2 A P1 SRAS1 AD Y2 Y Y CASE STUDY: The 1970s oil shocks 70% Predicted effects of the oil shock: • inflation • output • unemployment …and then a gradual recovery. 12% 60% 50% 10% 40% 8% 30% 20% 6% 10% 0% 1973 1974 1975 1976 Change in oil prices (left scale) Inflation rate-CPI (right scale) Unemployment rate (right scale) 4% 1977 CASE STUDY: The 1970s oil shocks 60% Late 1970s: As economy was recovering, oil prices shot up again, causing another huge supply shock!!! 14% 50% 12% 40% 10% 30% 8% 20% 6% 10% 0% 1977 4% 1978 1979 1980 Change in oil prices (left scale) Inflation rate-CPI (right scale) Unemployment rate (right scale) 1981 CASE STUDY: The 1980s oil shocks 40% 1980s: A favorable supply shock-a significant fall in oil prices.

P P2 LRAS B C SRAS2 A P1 AD1 Y2 Y AD2 Y Aggregate Demand I: The IS-LM Model The IS-LM model determines income and the interest rate in the short run when P is fixed The Big Picture Keynesian Cross Theory of Liquidity Preference IS curve LM curve IS-LM model Agg. demand curve Agg. supply curve Explanation of short-run fluctuations Model of Agg. Demand and Agg. Supply The Keynesian Cross A simple closed economy model in which income is determined by expenditure. (due to J.M. Keynes) Notation: I = planned investment PE = C + I + G = planned expenditure Y = real GDP = actual expenditure Difference between actual & planned expenditure = unplanned inventory investment Elements of the Keynesian Cross consumption function: C C (Y T ) govt policy variables: G G , T T for now, planned investment is exogenous: planned expenditure: I I PE C (Y T ) I G equilibrium condition: actual expenditure = planned expenditure Y PE Graphing planned expenditure PE planned expenditure PE =C +I +G MPC 1 income, output, Y Graphing the equilibrium condition PE PE =Y planned expenditure 45º income, output, Y The equilibrium value of income PE PE =Y planned expenditure PE =C +I +G income, output, Y Equilibrium income An increase in government purchases PE At Y1, there is now an unplanned drop in inventory… PE =C +I +G2 PE =C +I +G1 G …so firms increase output, and income rises toward a new equilibrium. Y PE1 = Y1 Y PE2 = Y2 Solving for Y Y C I G equilibrium condition Y C I G in changes C G MPC Y G Collect terms with Y on the left side of the equals sign: (1 MPC) Y G because I exogenous because C = MPC Y Solve for Y : 1 Y G 1 MPC The government purchases multiplier Definition: the increase in income resulting from a $1 increase in G. In this model, the govt purchases multiplier equals Y 1 G 1 MPC Example: If MPC = 0.8, then Y 1 5 G 1 0.8 An increase in G causes income to increase 5 times as much! Why the multiplier is greater than 1 Initially, the increase in G causes an equal increase in Y: Y = G. But Y C further Y further C further Y So the final impact on income is much bigger than the initial G. An increase in taxes PE Initially, the tax increase reduces consumption, and therefore PE: PE =C1 +I +G PE =C2 +I +G At Y1, there is now an unplanned inventory buildup… C = MPC T …so firms reduce output, and income falls toward a new equilibrium Y PE2 = Y2 Y PE1 = Y1 Solving for Y eq’m condition in changes Y C I G I and G exogenous C MPC Y T Solving for Y : Final result: (1 MPC) Y MPC T MPC Y T 1 MPC The tax multiplier def: the change in income resulting from a $1 increase in T : Y MPC T 1 MPC If MPC = 0.8, then the tax multiplier equals Y T 0.8 0.8 4 1 0.8 0.2 The tax multiplier …is negative: A tax increase reduces C, which reduces income. …is greater than one (in absolute value): A change in taxes has a multiplier effect on income. …is smaller than the govt spending multiplier: Consumers save the fraction (1 – MPC) of a tax cut, so the initial boost in spending from a tax cut is smaller than from an equal increase in G. The IS curve def: a graph of all combinations of r and Y that result in goods market equilibrium i.e. actual output = planned expenditure The equation for the IS curve is: Y C (Y T ) I (r ) G J.R. Hicks Deriving the IS curve PE =Y PE =C +I (r )+G 2 PE PE =C +I (r1 )+G r I PE Y I r Y1 Y Y2 r1 r2 IS Y1 Y2 Y Fiscal Policy and the IS curve We can use the IS-LM model to see how fiscal policy (G and T ) affects aggregate demand and output. Let’s start by using the Keynesian cross to see how fiscal policy shifts the IS curve… Shifting the IS curve: G At any value of r, PE =Y PE =C +I (r )+G 1 2 PE PE =C +I (r1 )+G1 G PE Y …so the IS curve shifts to the right. The horizontal distance of the IS shift equals r Y1 Y Y2 r1 1 Y G 1 MPC Y Y1 IS1 Y2 IS2 Y NOW YOU TRY: Shifting the IS curve: T Use the diagram of the Keynesian cross or loanable funds model to show how an increase in taxes shifts the IS curve. The Theory of Liquidity Preference Due to John Maynard Keynes. A simple theory in which the interest rate is determined by money supply and money demand. Equilibrium The interest rate adjusts to equate the supply and demand for money: r interest rate M P s r1 L (r ) M P L (r ) M P M/P real money balances How the Fed raises the interest rate r To increase r, Fed reduces M interest rate r2 r1 L (r ) M2 P M1 P M/P real money balances The LM curve Now let’s put Y back into the money demand function: d M P L (r ,Y ) The LM curve is a graph of all combinations of r and Y that equate the supply and demand for real money balances. The equation for the LM curve is: M P L (r ,Y ) Deriving the LM curve (a) The market for r real money balances (b) The LM curve r LM r2 r2 L (r , Y2 ) r1 r1 L (r , Y1 ) M1 P M/P Y1 Y2 Y How M shifts the LM curve (a) The market for r real money balances (b) The LM curve r LM2 LM1 r2 r2 r1 r1 L ( r , Y1 ) M2 P M1 P M/P Y1 Y The short-run equilibrium The short-run equilibrium is the combination of r and Y that simultaneously satisfies the equilibrium conditions in the goods & money markets: Y C (Y T ) I (r ) G r LM IS Y M P L (r ,Y ) Equilibrium interest rate Equilibrium level of income Policy analysis with the IS -LM model Y C (Y T ) I (r ) G r LM M P L (r ,Y ) We can use the IS-LM model to analyze the effects of • fiscal policy: G and/or T • monetary policy: M r1 IS Y1 Y An increase in government purchases 1.

Possible Fed responses: 1. hold M constant 2. hold r constant 3. hold Y constant In each case, the effects of the G are different… Response 1: Hold M constant If Congress raises G, the IS curve shifts right. r If Fed holds M constant, then LM curve doesn’t shift. r2 r1 LM1 IS2 IS1 Results: Y Y 2 Y1 r r2 r1 Y1 Y2 Y Response 2: Hold r constant If Congress raises G, the IS curve shifts right.

Examples: – stock market boom or crash change in households’ wealth C – change in business or consumer confidence or expectations I and/or C Shocks in the IS -LM model LM shocks: exogenous changes in the demand for money. Examples: – a wave of credit card fraud increases demand for money. – more ATMs or the Internet reduce money demand. NOW YOU TRY: Analyze shocks with the IS-LM Model Use the IS-LM model to analyze the effects of 1. a boom in the stock market that makes consumers wealthier. 2. after a wave of credit card fraud, consumers using cash more frequently in transactions. For each shock, a. use the IS-LM diagram to show the effects of the shock on Y and r. b. determine what happens to C, I, and the unemployment rate. CASE STUDY: The U.S. recession of 2001 During 2001, – 2.1 million jobs lost, unemployment rose from 3.9% to 5.8%. – GDP growth slowed to 0.8% (compared to 3.9% average annual growth during 1994-2000).

However, a change in P would shift LM and therefore affect Y. The aggregate demand curve (introduced in Chap. 9) captures this relationship between P and Y.

THE SPENDING HYPOTHESIS: Reasons for the IS shift Stock market crash exogenous C – Oct-Dec 1929: S&P 500 fell 17% – Oct 1929-Dec 1933: S&P 500 fell 71% Drop in investment – “correction” after overbuilding in the 1920s – widespread bank failures made it harder to obtain financing for investment Contractionary fiscal policy – Politicians raised tax rates and cut spending to combat increasing deficits. THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS: A shock to the LM curve asserts that the Depression was largely due to huge fall in the money supply. evidence: M1 fell 25% during 1929-33. But, two problems with this hypothesis: – P fell even more, so M/P actually rose slightly during 1929-31. – nominal interest rates fell, which is the opposite of what a leftward LM shift would cause. THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices asserts that the severity of the Depression was due to a huge deflation: P fell 25% during 1929-33. This deflation was probably caused by the fall in M, so perhaps money played an important role after all. In what ways does a deflation affect the economy? THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices The stabilizing effects of deflation: P (M/P ) LM shifts right Y Pigou effect: P (M/P ) consumers’ wealth C IS shifts right Y THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices The destabilizing effects of expected deflation: E r for each value of i I because I = I (r ) planned expenditure & agg. demand income & output THE MONEY HYPOTHESIS AGAIN: The effects of falling prices The destabilizing effects of unexpected deflation: debt-deflation theory P (if unexpected) transfers purchasing power from borrowers to lenders borrowers spend less, lenders spend more if borrowers’ propensity to spend is larger than lenders’, then aggregate spending falls, the IS curve shifts left, and Y falls Why another Depression is unlikely Policymakers (or their advisors) now know much more about macroeconomics: – The Fed knows better than to let M fall so much, especially during a contraction. – Fiscal policymakers know better than to raise taxes or cut spending during a contraction. Federal deposit insurance makes widespread bank failures very unlikely. Automatic stabilizers make fiscal policy expansionary during an economic downturn.
