, Introduction, key concepts and Okun’s law
Chapter 13 – Economic Fluctuations and Unemployment 13.1 – 13.4
Recession A period when output is declining. It is over once the economy begins to grow again. Or a
period when the level of output is below its normal level, even if the economy is growing. It is not
over until output has grown enough to get back to normal (this level is subjective).
Business cycle: Alternating periods of faster and slower (or even negative) growth rates. The economy
goes from boom to recession and back to boom.
Okun’s law: The relationship between output and unemployment fluctuations. Rate of growth in GDP
negatively correlated with the rate of unemployment.
Okun’s coefficient: Change in unemployment rate in % predicted to be associated with 1% change in
the growth rate of GDP.
A fall in output growth → Rise in unemployment rate → fall in wellbeing.
A rise in output growth → Fall in unemployment rate → Rise in wellbeing.
Aggregate output (GDP, domestic product): Total output of all producers in a country, from all
sections and regions.
National accounts: System used for measuring overall output and expenditure in a country. Can be
estimated in three ways:
• Spending: Total spending
• Production: Total production. Measured by the value added (output-input) by each industry.
• Income: Sum of all the incomes received, comprising wages, profits, the incomes of the self-
employed and taxes received by the government.
Relationship between spending, production
and incomes in the economy as a whole can be
represented as a circular flow:
GDP is defined to include exports and exclude imports:
• Value added of domestic production, or as expenditure on domestic production.
• As income due to domestic production.
•
Consumption and production of these services can be visualized using the circular flow model:
• Households pay taxes to the government
• Government uses these taxes to pay for the production of public services used by households
