🗑
Structural UE   Caused by workers lacking marketable job skills, Undesirable, Solved by job training  
🗑
Determinates of the Consumption Function   Disposable Income (Yd), Expectations Concerning Future Earnings and Prices, The Availability of Credit, The Existing Stock of Consumer Goods, The Level of Consumer Wealth  
🗑
Average Propensity to Consume (APC)   The portion of current disposable income (Yd) that is spent on consumption. APC=C/Yd C=Total current consumption  
🗑
Consumption Function (Definition)   The relationship between current disposable income (Yd) and current consumption expenditure (C).  
🗑
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC)   The proportion of any additional current disposable income (Yd) that is spent on consumption. MPC=ΔC/ΔYd C=Total current consumption  
🗑
Consumption Function (Equation)   C=a+b*Yd a=how much would be consumed if Yd were 0, b=the slope term, rise over run, MPC  
🗑
Fisher Equation   i=r+πe, i=Nominal interest rate, r=Real interest rate, pie-e= expected inflation rate  
🗑
Consumer Price Index (CPI)   (Current prices of a basket of consumer goods)/(prices of the same basket in a base period)  
🗑
Real Value of Any Asset   (Nominal value, aka, current dollar value)/(General price level as measured by CPI)  
🗑
The GDP Gap   The dollar value of all goods and services not being produced due to UE, Target GDP - Nominal GDP (Y*-Ye),  
🗑
Costs of UE   Economic (GDP Gap), Non-Economic (high crime, suicide, drug, and mortality rate, political and marital instability)  
🗑
The Two Macro Economic Problems   Unemployment (UE) and Inflation (π)  
🗑
Effects of π   Economic (reduces the real value of any fixed value asset, and redistributes wealth from lender to borrower if unexpected), Non-Economic (people won't believe in contracts, and social instability)  
🗑
Keynes Two APC/MPC Hypothesis   APC gets smaller as Yd increases, always 0<MPC<1  
🗑
Consumer Wealth   Financial (stocks, bonds, savings accounts, etc) and Durable Goods (Cars, Houses, Furniture, etc.)  
🗑
Planned Total Expenditure (PTE)   Consumption(C)+Government(G)+Investment(I)+[Exports(X)-Imports(M)]  
🗑
Inventory Adjustment Mechanism   The basic equilibrating force in the Keynesian Cross Model, when there are shortages or surpluses inventory is pulled or placed in storage  
🗑
Fiscal Policies for UE and π   For UE raise G and lower T, for π lower G and raise T  
🗑
Government Multiplier   Mg=1/1-MPC, Mg=ΔY/ΔG, with constant interest  
🗑
Tax Multiplier   Mtax=-MPC/1-MPC, Mtax=ΔY/ΔT, with constant intrest  
🗑
