Macroeconomics 2A: Output and Time
Week 1: chapter 2 & 3
Short and long run
Quantity equation: M x V = P x Y
V = fixed (how many money changes of hand)
o Long run:
, Y (output) = determined by production
△ (change in) M (input / money) = △ P (price level)
o Short run:
Y determined by M
△ (change in) M (input / money) = △ Y (with fixed P)
Aggregate supply curve:
Classical: AD = vertical
Change in
demand -> change in
price
level
Keynesian:
Short run: vary output
Change in demand -> change
in output
- Prices are fixed
Chapter 2: booms and recessions (week 1)
Short run analysis -> how to explain these booms and recessions
o Look at aggregate demand
Keynes
Government can influence economy by influencing aggregate demand
Boom = peak
Recessions = not good
45 degree line = potential income path
This all focusses on aggregate
demand AD
Horizontal supply curve: everything is supplied at the same price
(see classical vs Keynesian curve above)
Y = C + I + G + Ex – Im
Income Y = aggregate expenditures (in equilibrium) = AE
Aggregate expenditure AE
Actual expenditure = income (output) = Aggregate
expenditure (AE) IN EQUILIBRIUM
o = C + I + G + Nx (Ex – Im)
Because of C, the slope is not horizontal -> C
increases with income -> therefore there is a
slope
o C spending increases with income,
with a marginal rate of consumption of
C -> the gives the AE line slope C
