Problems with Fiscal Policy

political consideration (using policies to boost votes)

Timing

operational lag (seeing effects)

administrative lag (getting policy)

recognition lag 9seeing what's happening)

Future policies/ reversals

Contractionary FP

- gov't spending, + taxes

decrease aggregate demand

when demand-pull inflation occurs

Expansionary FP

+ gov't spending, - taxes

raise real gdp

when recession occurs

increased taxes

less government spending

Budget Surplus

Budget Deficit

less taxes

increased government spedning

Fiscal Policy

built in stabilizers

tax systems

Regressive: rate falls as GDP falls

Proportional: rate stays the same as GDP rises

progressive: avg rate= tax revenue/ GDP

Public Goods

Quasai- Public Goods

nonrivalry

nonexcludability

"Free Rider Problem"

externality

Government

time horizons

short run

input is fixed and output may vary

long run

input and output are variable

immediate short run

input and output prices are fixed

Factors that shift the AS curve

price of imported goods

Legal- Institutional environment

productivity

input prices

expected returns

personal taxes

consumer wealth

expectations

borrowing

Factors that shift the AD curve

net export spending

investment spending

consumer spending

government spending

foreign purchases effect

interest rate effect

real balance effect

Types of Unemployment

Cyclical: Unemployed because of less spending

Frictional: Those looking for a new job

Structural: difficult to find new jobs without retrain, relocate, etc

Phillip's Curve

inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation

GDP per capita= GDP/population

modern economic growth

increase GDP over time

increasing returns

economic scale

determinates of growth

supply factors

what producers are willing to get paid vs what they actually get paid

Law of Supply

As price falls, quantity supplied falls

change in price of related goods

change in income

change in consumer expectations

Law of Demand

As price falls, quantity demanded rises

as price rises, quantity demanded falls

Demand: amount consumers are able/willing to buy at given price

Supply: amount producers are able/willing to sell at given price

money income 9wayes, rent, interest, profit, etc)

resources- factors of production (land, labor, capital, entrepreneurial)

costs (labor, PPE, etc)

resources

goods and services

revenue (cash, credit, crytocurrency, etc)

consumption expenditure

Resource Market

Unemployment

Goal: Maximize profit

individual/household/consumer

Goal: Maximize utility

Product Market

Aggregate Supply

"No free lunch

Opporutnity costs
