What are the 3 ways to calculate GDP
Expenditure Approach
Income Approach
Value Added Approach
How do you calculate the GDP through the Expenditure Approach
Add the value of all goods & services produced domestically in one period
Y = C + I + G ( closed economy)
Y = C + I + G + (X-IM) ( open economy)
How do you calculate the GDP through the Income Approach
Add up all factor incomes generated by domestic production
GDP = Compensation of employees + Gross operating income surplus + mixed income + Net subsidies
Gross operating surplus = profits, interest, rent, depreciation
Mixed income = self imployed
Net subsidies = Tax on production & products - subsidies
How do I calculate GNI (Gross National Income)
GDP + Net factor incomes generated from abroad
How do I calculate GNDI (Gross national disposable income)
GNI + Net current transfers from abroad
How do I calculate the GDP through value added approach
Sum of value added across all producers to avoid double counting
Output + output of intermediate goods - input for intermediate good (purchases)
Wages + return on capital
What is nominal GDP
Sum of quantities of final goods produced multiplied by current price
What is real GDP
Sum of quantities of final goods multiplied by constant prices
Why does nominal GDP increase over time
Production increases over time
Prices the goods are sold at increases over time
How do you calculate GDP deflator (P)
( Nominal GDP/ Real GDP ) * 100
what is the income elasticity of demand (in words)?
Measures how much quantity demanded changes when income changes
how do you calculate income elasticity of demand

high volatility of demand
low/negative growth rates in recession
high financial risk
Which good type corresponds to each income elasticity of demand (Ey) range: Ey<0, Ey=0, 0<Ey<1, Ey>1?
Ey < 0 ( Inferior good; when income goes up demand falls )
Ey = 0 ( Income neutral)
0 < Ey < 1 ( Normal necessity)
Ey > 1 ( Luxury Good; demand rises more than proportionally when income increases)
What is the Aggregate Income Function
Y = L*w + K* r
Y = units of output
L = Labor
w = wage
K = stock of physical Capital
r = rental rate

how total income from production is split by factor of production—mainly labor vs. capital
Total Labour Income
w * L = MPL * L
Total Capital Income
r * K = MPK * K
If the production functionhas constant returns to scale
Y = MPL * L + MPK * K
Y = national income

Consumption is income that remains after tax and government transfers are recieved
C = C(Yd)
Yd = disposable income
Yd = Y- T
Consumption increases with disposbale income but less than one for one
Equilibrium Output for Good Market
Production Y = Demand Z
Demand Z in turn depends on income Y which itself is dependend on production
Substitute C for Consumption Function (linear relation)
C = c0 +c1*Yd
Substitute Yd with Y-T
What does the multiplier show?
how much equilibrium changes per 1 unit change in auntonomos demand
propensity to consume is between 0 and 1
1-c1 is a small number
dividing that number by 1 makes it bigger than 1
therefore it multplies change
what is autonomous demand ( autonomous spending)
The part of the equation that does not depend on output / income Y
c0 + I + G +c1*T
What happens when you increase demand in the Equilibrium?
What trade-off defines money vs bonds in money demand
Money M is readily be used to make transaction -> pays no interest

Md = $Y L(i) (-)
following transaction approach
Demand for Money increases inproprtion to nomincal income
Depends negatively on interest rate
How do you calculate Real Income?
Nominal Income / Price Level
What is the Money Market Equilibrium?
Money supply = Money demand
M = $Y * L(i)
-> LM RELATION
When is the LM equilibrium condition satisfied?
the Equilibirium happens when interest rate i is at a level where Ms (independent of interest rate) equals Md (dependent on interest rate)
When does the LM curve shift right?
An increase in nominal income -> People want more transactions at any interest rate -> Md shifts right -> interest rate goes up (with fixed Ms)
What happens when Money Supply Increases?
interest rate decreases
What is the Liquidity Trap?
when i= 0
-> they become indifferent between holding money and holding bonds
-> Md become horizontal
-> increasing Ms doesn’t have an effect on interest rate

What is the money multiplier (interns of money stock and base money)?
It is the ratio m=ΔM/ΔBm showing how much the money stock changes when the monetary base changes by one unit
What is the Equilibirum Condition for the goods market?
Y = C (Y-T) + I (Y,i) + G
What happens with the IS curve when interest is fixed?
The Aggregate Demand Function Z increases because Output Y increases
(IS-Curve)
Why does Output Y increase for given interest rate?
when Output Y increases -> income Y increases -> therefore disposable income Yd increase -> which increases Consumption
when Output Y increases -> income Y increases -> Investment increases
What happens when interest rate increases?
It decreases the demand for goods -> decrease in the Equilibrium level of output
Why is the IS Curve downward sloping?
The Equilibrium condition in the goods market implies that an increase in interest rate decreases Output Y
Y - Axis: interest rate i
X - Axis: Output Y

What does the Aggregate Supply Curve show?
The Effects of Output on the Prices level
How do you derive the AS curve (why is it upwards sloping)?
How do you plot it?
Y - Axsis: Price level P
X - Axsis: Output Y
At an expected Price Level -> when income increases -> Employment increases -> unemployment goes down -> Wages go up -> Prices go up
(AS- Curve)
What happens if expected price level increases?
AS Curve shifts upwards because
expected price level increases -> wages increases -> Price increases
What are the implications of the AS curve going through point A?
Point A goes through Y = Yn; P = Pe
so
What does the Aggregate Demand capture?
It captures the Effect of the price level on the output

(AD-Curve)
What happens when changes in fiscal/ monetary policies happen?
(AS & AD-Curve)
How does the Equilibrium look in the Short Run?
AS - Curve:
for given value of expected price level -> higher level of output
-> higher price
AD - Curve:
for given values of M, G and T -> higher price level -> lower the level of output
What happens from Short Run to the Medium Run in Point A and the equilibrium?
At Point A Y > Yn -> P > Pe
to get an equilibirum wage setters increase wage (in expcetation of future prices) -> AS Shifts upward
this happens until W matches the expected increase in price levels
What can happen in the Short Run but not the Long Run?
Output can be above or below the natural level of output
What happens to Output in the Medium Run?
Output eventually return to the natural level of Output -> through shifts of the AS curve
(AS-AD Lecture Example)
What are the Effects of Monetary Expansion?
1) increase in nominal money stock -> AD shifts to right
2) MR: AS curve shifts up and Output returns to Yn
increase in prices is proprtional to the increase in nominal money stock
(AS-AD Lecture Example; Background Analysis)
1) increase in nominal money -> shifts LM curve down
2) decreasing the interest rate -> increasing output
3) price increase prevents even lower shift of LM curve
4) Over time price increases further shifting LM curve back up
5) until Y = Yn
What is the Neutrality of Money?
In the SR: Monetary expansion leads to increase in output -> a decrease in interest rate -> increase in the price level
In the MR: the increase in norminal money proportional increase in the price level -> Increase in nominal money has 0 Effect on output/ interest rate -> C; I; G; T are same as before policy measure
What happns in a Demand focused Policy?
It shifts the AD curve
Stimulates economic activity in the short run
neutral/ negative in the medium/long run
Welfare
Monetary easing (↑M, ↓policy rate) → AD right; tightening → left.
Fiscal: ↑G (spending) → AD right; ↓G → left.
Fiscal: ↓T / ↑transfers → AD right; ↑T / ↓transfers → left.
What happens in a Supply focused Policy?
Shifts AS Curve (natural rate of employment)
Stimulates economic growth in the medium/ lonf run
Neutral/ Negative in the short run
Unemployment Benefits
Lowering Corporate Taxes
Lower labor/capital taxes & deregulation → AS/LRAS right.
Infrastructure, education, R&D → AS/LRAS right.
Labor-supply reforms (childcare, retirement age, immigration) → AS/LRAS right.
Cost shocks (energy/wages up) → SRAS left; cost relief → right.
Curve Shifts (Table)
How is the Philips Curve derived & What does it entail? (Natural Rate of Unemployment)
Can be derived from the AS relation (rewritten as a fucntion between inflation, expected inflation and unemployment rate)
increase in expected inflation -> increase in inflation
given expected inflation -> increase in markup, wage determination y -> increae in inflation
given expected inflation -> increase in unemployment rate u -> decrease in inflation
What is the general Phillips relation with past inflation, and what do you get when θ equals 0 versus 1?
when 0 is zero the relation is below
when 0 is 1 change in inflation rate depends on unemployment rate
Define the natural rate of unemployment and name one other unemployment type?
Unemployment Rate at which the rate of inflation remains constant
Other type of unemployment: Seasonal
State the production function and CRS assumption, define k, and list all sources of higher output per worker.
Macroeconomic output function
Y = F ( K,L )
under constant returns to the scale
increase in output per worker y can come from increase in capital per worker (k)
k = capital-labor ratio
or they can come from improvements in the state of technology -> shift the production function -> more output per worker
In Solow (capital accumulation only), what is held constant, what links output per worker to capital per worker, what changes the capital stock, and what equations govern capital accumulation and investment?
Focus = Capital accumulation
population size, participation rate, unemployment rate -> constant
Investment makes the capital stock bigger
Depreciation makes the capital stock smaller
(Solow)
What happens to Output, Consumption, Investment?
Output & Investment per worker increases with capital per worker
less and less as capital per worker increases
When is a steady state reached?
What does the Golden Rule Capital Stock mean?
The steady state level of k that maximizes consumption
The economy has a tendency towards the state capital stock NOT towards the golden rule capital stock
To achieve the golden rule requires adjustments to savings rate:
S(private) -> depends on T&G
Decreasing income tax; increasing consumption tax -> increasing private savings
In Solow with technological change, what happens to the production function, output per worker (at given capital per worker), investment and capital per worker, the long-run growth rate and its speed, and the relative productivity of capital vs labor?
Technological Change shifts production function up
-> higher output per worker for an given capital stock per worker
-> higher income increases investment -> capital stock per worker grows -> output per workr grows
Technological change does affect the long-run growth rate
speed of the process depends on rate of technological change
technological progress inplies and increasing capital intensity -> capital productivity is predicted to increase at lower rates than labor productivity
How is output growth decomposed into capital and labor contributions, and how are the capital and labor income shares defined?
Explaining income growth of an economy over time
Output change can also be the result of technological change
total factor productiviy growth is a substitue for technological change ga
