CHAPTER 1Introduction
Criteria used to judge performance of the economy:
1. Economic growth
- Most important criteria
- Growth = better levels of development and increased prosperity
- Growth is a prerequisite for improving quality of life for citizens
2. Full employment
- Generations want to live a better life than previous generations
- Breaking the cycle of poverty
3. Price stability
- Refers to a lack of significant inflation
- Real world example → US announced stimulus packages for business for Covid-19
→ resulted in higher inflation rates
4. Balance of payments stability
- To do with international trade and linkages between a country’s economy and
the rest of the world
5. Equitable (fair) distribution of income
- Refers to distribution that is related to the amount of input make to the economy
by individuals
- This is of rising concern in developing and developed economies → the rich get
richer, and the poor get poorer = major policy concern
