| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| aggregate demand | shows total demand for goods and services C+I(r)+G+Nx |
| wealth effect | changes in perceived wealth influence consumer spending and overall economic activity impacting AD (P goes down, consumption goes up, Y is greater) |
| interest rate effect | changes in interest rates influence borrowing, spending, and overall economic activity (P goes down, people have more money left over so they save more which lowers interest rates so investing/borrowing is cheaper so investing also increase) |
| exchange rate effect | when P goes down, more money left behind so supply of goods increase and price of goods decrease so other countries would buy our chepaer goods increasing Nx |
| shifts in AD | anything that changes in C (stock market boom/crash, preferences), I (new tech, expectations, intrest rates, policy), G (goc spending), Nx (boom/recessions in other countries, appreciation/depreciation reuslting from international speculation in exchange) |
| Short run aggregate supply | Y=Ybar+a(P-EP) |
| Long run aggregate supply | Ybar=AF(K, L, H, N) |
| sticky wage theory | nominal wages are sticky in the short run, they adjust sluggishly due to labor contracts and social norms so they're often set in advance based off of Pe |
| Marginal propensity to consume | fraction of extra income that households consume rather than save deltaC/deltaY |
| multipler effect | each dollar increase in G can generate more than a $1 increase in AD deltaY=deltaCIRorNx/(1-MPC) |
| natural rate of output/potential output/full-employment output | the amount of output the economy produces when unemployment is at its natural rate determined by the economy's stocks of labor, capital, natural resources, and technology (=LRAS) |
| theory of liquidity preference | interest rate adjusts to bring money supply and demand into balance under the assumption expected rate of inflation is constant (interest rate effect?) |
| Net capital outflow | purchase of foreign assets by domestic residents (minus the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners) |
| saving and investment equations in an open economy | Y=C+I+G+Nx, S=Y-C-G (Y-C-G=I+Nx and S=I+Nx), Nx=NCO (S=I+NCO) |
| appreciation | increase in the value of a currency measured by the amount of foreign currency it can buy |
| depreciation | decrease in the value of a currency measured by the amount of foreign currency it can buy |
