,CHAPTER 1: A TOUR OF THE WORLD
• De output w gemeten adhv het reële bruto binnenlands product.
• Een conjunctuurcyclus w gedefinieerd als de periode tss twee
pieken of dalen
• De tweede piek is hoger dan de eerste => groei op LT
1.0 Huidige situatie
• Energieprijzen in Europa: gaan de lucht in
• Europees concurrentievermogen in gevaar
• Reële lonen dalen veel sterker in eurozone > dit is een vorm van compensatie voor het nadeel van
de competitiviteit
• Purchasing Management Index (PMI) = index van de overheersende richting v economische trends
in de industrie en de dienstensector
o Bestaat uit de spreidingsindex die samenvat of de marktomstandigheden, zoals gezien dr de
inkoopmanagers, zich uitbreiden, gelijk blijven of krimpen.
o PMI januari 2023

, In september 2022 gingen beiden curves nr beneden en werd er gevreesd voor een recessie. Het
leek toen dat we nr beneden gingen, maar feitelijke gegevens moet je gedateerd bekijken aangezien
cijfers kunnen verschillen over 6 maanden en momenteel is het al weer naar boven gegaan.
1.1 De pandemie van 2020
• De ergste wereldwijde gezondheidscrisis sinds de zogenaamde Spaanse griep in 1918
• De ergste wereldwijde economische crisis sinds de Grote Depressie
• Een heel ander soort economische crisis dan de andere recessies. Ze w nt veroorzaakt dr een
onevenwichtigheid in de economie, maar door een exogene en onverwachte schok
• Deze schok beïnvloedt de economie op drie manieren:
1. Doorbreken van de productieketen => een negatieve aanbodschok
2. Beperking vd mobiliteit van werknemers => een negatieve aanbodschok
3. Daling van het inkomen => een negatieve vraagschok
• Atypisch omdat het dus zowel vraagschok als aanbodschok elementen had
o EXAMENVRAAG: Beschrijf de impact van de pandemie./Hoe bekijken economen het
fenomeen van de pandemie op macro-economisch vlak?
1.2 De crisis van 2008-9
Op de eerste figuur zien we de output growth rates voor de advanced economies (i.e. de 30 rijkste landen
ter wereld) en de developing economies (i.e. de andere 150 landen).
➢ Tot en met 2007 is er een doorgedreven groei.
➢ In 2007 wordt deze expansie beëindigd door een
financiële crisis in de VS.
➢ De huizenprijzen begonnen te dalen nadat ze een
hoogtepunt bereikt hadden door de aangehouden
expansie. Tijdens de expansie werden echter te
veel en te grote hypothecaire leningen gegeven,
waardoor klanten hun maandelijkse betalingen niet
meer konden nakomen. Hierdoor werd de
hypothecaire waarde van een huis groter dan de
marktwaarde.
➢ De hypothecaire leningen werden door banken verpakt in andere effecten en verkocht aan banken
over de hele wereld. De financiële crisis in de VS werd plots een wereldwijde economische crisis.
