Inflation and the Price Level

bull Inflation is a process in which the price level is rising and

bull money is losing valuebull Inflation is a rise in the price level not in

the price of abull particular commoditybull And inflation is an ongoing process not a

one-time jump inbull the price level

Deflation

bull A drop in the overall price level

Inflation and the Price Level

Inflation and the Price Level

bull The inflation rate is the percentage change in the pricebull levelbull That is where P1 is the current price level and P0 is lastbull yearrsquos price level the inflation rate isbull [(P1 ndash P0)P0] times 100bull Inflation can result from either an increase in aggregatebull demand or a decrease in aggregate supply and bebull 1048707 Demand-pull inflationbull 1048707 Cost-push inflation

Causes of Inflation

bull Inflation is an increase in the overall price level

bull Sustained inflation occurs when the overall price level continues to rise over some fairly long period of time

Stagflation

bull A condition of concurrent high unemployment (stagnation) and inflation

Cost-Push Inflation

bull An inflation triggered by increases in input prices

Causes of Inflationbull Demand-pull inflation is inflation initiated

by an increase in aggregate demandbull Cost-push or supply-side inflation is

inflation caused by an increase in costs

Demand-Pull Inflation

bull An inflation caused by high levels of demand

Aggregate Demand

bull The total quantity of commodities that are demanded at various prices

bull Total spending in economy at alternative price levels

Aggregate Supply

bull Total output of the economy at alternative price levels

bull Changes in aggregate demand and supply cause the

bull equilibrium price level and real GDP to change

bull resulting in business cycles

Effects of aChange inAggregateDemand

bull Demand-pull inflation rapid increases in AD outpace the growth of AS causing price level increases (inflation)

Aggregate Supply

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

in the price level (while production costs and

capital are held constant on the short-run) means

higher profit marginsmdashfirms will want to produce

more

Demand-Pull Inflation

bull Demand-pull inflation is an inflation that results from anbull initial increase in aggregate demandbull Demand-pull inflation may begin with any factor thatbull increases aggregate demandbull Two factors controlled by the government are increases

inbull the quantity of money and increases in governmentbull purchasesbull A third possibility is an increase in exports

Cost-Push Inflation

bull Cost-push inflation is an inflation that results from an

bull initial increase in costsbull There are two main sources of increased

costsbull 1048707 An increase in the money wage ratebull 1048707 An increase in the money price of raw

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflation in the Market for Financialbull Capitalbull Unanticipated inflation has two main consequences in

thebull market for financial capital it redistributes income andbull results in too much or too little lending and borrowingbull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly high borrowers gainbull but lenders losebull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly low lenders gain butbull borrowers lose

Effects of Inflation

bull When the inflation rate is higher than anticipated the real

bull interest rate is lower than anticipated and borrowers want

bull to have borrowed more and lenders want to have loanedbull lessbull When the inflation rate is lower than anticipated the realbull interest rate is higher than anticipated and borrowersbull want to have borrowed less and lenders want to havebull loaned more

Effects of Inflation

bull Forecasting Inflationbull To minimize the costs of incorrectly anticipating inflationbull people form rational expectations about the inflation ratebull A rational expectation is one based on all relevantbull information and is the most accurate forecast possiblebull although that does not mean it is always right to thebull contrary it will often be wrong

Effects of Inflation

Anticipated InflationFigure 287 illustrates ananticipated inflationAggregate demandincreases but the increaseis anticipated so its effecton the price level isanticipated

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflationbull If aggregate demand increases by more than expectedbull inflation is higher than expectedbull Money wages do not adjust enough and the SAS curvebull does not shift leftward enough to keep the economy at

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull If aggregate demand increases by less than expected

bull inflation is less than expectedbull Money wages rise too much and the SAS

curve shiftsbull leftward more than the AD curve shifts

rightwardbull Real GDP is less than potential GDPbull This inflation is like a cost-push inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull The Costs of Anticipated Inflationbull Anticipated inflation occurs at full employment

with realbull GDP equal to potential GDPbull But anticipated inflation particularly high

anticipatedbull inflation inflicts three costsbull 1048707 Transactions costsbull 1048707 Tax effectsbull 1048707 Increased uncertainty

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

The Phillips Curve

Unemployment

Supply Shock

bull A change in technology or supply of raw materials that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve

Causes of Inflation

bull Inflation is an increase in the overall price level

bull Sustained inflation occurs when the overall price level continues to rise over some fairly long period of time

Stagflation

bull A condition of concurrent high unemployment (stagnation) and inflation

Cost-Push Inflation

bull An inflation triggered by increases in input prices

Causes of Inflationbull Demand-pull inflation is inflation initiated

inflation caused by an increase in costs

Demand-Pull Inflation

bull An inflation caused by high levels of demand

Aggregate Demand

bull The total quantity of commodities that are demanded at various prices

Aggregate Supply

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

in the price level (while production costs and

capital are held constant on the short-run) means

higher profit marginsmdashfirms will want to produce

bull The inflation rate is the percentage change in the pricebull levelbull That is where P1 is the current price level and P0 is lastbull yearrsquos price level the inflation rate isbull [(P1 ndash P0)P0] times 100bull Inflation can result from either an increase in aggregatebull demand or a decrease in aggregate supply and bebull 1048707 Demand-pull inflationbull 1048707 Cost-push inflation

Causes of Inflation

bull Inflation is an increase in the overall price level

bull Sustained inflation occurs when the overall price level continues to rise over some fairly long period of time

Stagflation

bull A condition of concurrent high unemployment (stagnation) and inflation

Cost-Push Inflation

bull An inflation triggered by increases in input prices

Causes of Inflationbull Demand-pull inflation is inflation initiated

by an increase in aggregate demandbull Cost-push or supply-side inflation is

inflation caused by an increase in costs

Demand-Pull Inflation

bull An inflation caused by high levels of demand

Aggregate Demand

bull The total quantity of commodities that are demanded at various prices

bull Total spending in economy at alternative price levels

Aggregate Supply

bull Total output of the economy at alternative price levels

bull Changes in aggregate demand and supply cause the

bull equilibrium price level and real GDP to change

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

Cost-Push Inflation

bull An inflation triggered by increases in input prices

Causes of Inflationbull Demand-pull inflation is inflation initiated

by an increase in aggregate demandbull Cost-push or supply-side inflation is

inflation caused by an increase in costs

Demand-Pull Inflation

bull An inflation caused by high levels of demand

Aggregate Demand

bull The total quantity of commodities that are demanded at various prices

bull Total spending in economy at alternative price levels

Aggregate Supply

bull Total output of the economy at alternative price levels

bull Changes in aggregate demand and supply cause the

bull equilibrium price level and real GDP to change

bull resulting in business cycles

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

Aggregate Supply

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

in the price level (while production costs and

capital are held constant on the short-run) means

higher profit marginsmdashfirms will want to produce

more

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Aggregate Supply

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

in the price level (while production costs and

capital are held constant on the short-run) means

higher profit marginsmdashfirms will want to produce

more

Cost-Push Inflation

bull Cost-push inflation is an inflation that results from an

bull initial increase in costsbull There are two main sources of increased

costsbull 1048707 An increase in the money wage ratebull 1048707 An increase in the money price of raw

bull Forecasting Inflationbull To minimize the costs of incorrectly anticipating inflationbull people form rational expectations about the inflation ratebull A rational expectation is one based on all relevantbull information and is the most accurate forecast possiblebull although that does not mean it is always right to thebull contrary it will often be wrong

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

Supply Shock

bull A change in technology or supply of raw materials that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve

Aggregate Supply (AS) is the total of all the firm (market) supply curves It shows the quantity of real GDP produced at different price levels

Short-run AS slopes upward because an increase

in the price level (while production costs and

capital are held constant on the short-run) means

higher profit marginsmdashfirms will want to produce

Effects of Inflation

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Anticipated InflationFigure 287 illustrates ananticipated inflationAggregate demandincreases but the increaseis anticipated so its effecton the price level isanticipated

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflationbull If aggregate demand increases by more than expectedbull inflation is higher than expectedbull Money wages do not adjust enough and the SAS curvebull does not shift leftward enough to keep the economy at

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull If aggregate demand increases by less than expected

bull inflation is less than expectedbull Money wages rise too much and the SAS

curve shiftsbull leftward more than the AD curve shifts

rightwardbull Real GDP is less than potential GDPbull This inflation is like a cost-push inflation

Effects of Inflation

with realbull GDP equal to potential GDPbull But anticipated inflation particularly high

anticipatedbull inflation inflicts three costsbull 1048707 Transactions costsbull 1048707 Tax effectsbull 1048707 Increased uncertainty

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

Cost-Push Inflation

bull Cost-push inflation is an inflation that results from an

bull initial increase in costsbull There are two main sources of increased

costsbull 1048707 An increase in the money wage ratebull 1048707 An increase in the money price of raw

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflation in the Market for Financialbull Capitalbull Unanticipated inflation has two main consequences in

thebull market for financial capital it redistributes income andbull results in too much or too little lending and borrowingbull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly high borrowers gainbull but lenders losebull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly low lenders gain butbull borrowers lose

Effects of Inflation

bull When the inflation rate is higher than anticipated the real

bull interest rate is lower than anticipated and borrowers want

bull to have borrowed more and lenders want to have loanedbull lessbull When the inflation rate is lower than anticipated the realbull interest rate is higher than anticipated and borrowersbull want to have borrowed less and lenders want to havebull loaned more

Effects of Inflation

bull Forecasting Inflationbull To minimize the costs of incorrectly anticipating inflationbull people form rational expectations about the inflation ratebull A rational expectation is one based on all relevantbull information and is the most accurate forecast possiblebull although that does not mean it is always right to thebull contrary it will often be wrong

Effects of Inflation

Anticipated InflationFigure 287 illustrates ananticipated inflationAggregate demandincreases but the increaseis anticipated so its effecton the price level isanticipated

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflationbull If aggregate demand increases by more than expectedbull inflation is higher than expectedbull Money wages do not adjust enough and the SAS curvebull does not shift leftward enough to keep the economy at

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull If aggregate demand increases by less than expected

bull inflation is less than expectedbull Money wages rise too much and the SAS

curve shiftsbull leftward more than the AD curve shifts

rightwardbull Real GDP is less than potential GDPbull This inflation is like a cost-push inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull The Costs of Anticipated Inflationbull Anticipated inflation occurs at full employment

with realbull GDP equal to potential GDPbull But anticipated inflation particularly high

anticipatedbull inflation inflicts three costsbull 1048707 Transactions costsbull 1048707 Tax effectsbull 1048707 Increased uncertainty

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

Supply Shock

bull A change in technology or supply of raw materials that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

Page 45: INFLATION A significant and persistent increase in the price level.

Effects of Inflationbull Higher than anticipated inflation lowers the real wage ratebull and employers gain at the expense of workersbull Lower than anticipated inflation raises the real wage ratebull and workers gain at the expense of employersbull Higher than anticipated inflation lowers the real wage ratebull increases the quantity of labor demanded makes jobsbull easier to find and lowers the unemployment ratebull Lower than anticipated inflation raises the real wage ratebull decreases the quantity of labor demanded and increasesbull the unemployment rate

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflation in the Market for Financialbull Capitalbull Unanticipated inflation has two main consequences in

thebull market for financial capital it redistributes income andbull results in too much or too little lending and borrowingbull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly high borrowers gainbull but lenders losebull If the inflation rate is unexpectedly low lenders gain butbull borrowers lose

Effects of Inflation

bull When the inflation rate is higher than anticipated the real

bull interest rate is lower than anticipated and borrowers want

bull to have borrowed more and lenders want to have loanedbull lessbull When the inflation rate is lower than anticipated the realbull interest rate is higher than anticipated and borrowersbull want to have borrowed less and lenders want to havebull loaned more

Effects of Inflation

bull Forecasting Inflationbull To minimize the costs of incorrectly anticipating inflationbull people form rational expectations about the inflation ratebull A rational expectation is one based on all relevantbull information and is the most accurate forecast possiblebull although that does not mean it is always right to thebull contrary it will often be wrong

Effects of Inflation

Anticipated InflationFigure 287 illustrates ananticipated inflationAggregate demandincreases but the increaseis anticipated so its effecton the price level isanticipated

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflationbull If aggregate demand increases by more than expectedbull inflation is higher than expectedbull Money wages do not adjust enough and the SAS curvebull does not shift leftward enough to keep the economy at

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull If aggregate demand increases by less than expected

bull inflation is less than expectedbull Money wages rise too much and the SAS

curve shiftsbull leftward more than the AD curve shifts

rightwardbull Real GDP is less than potential GDPbull This inflation is like a cost-push inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull The Costs of Anticipated Inflationbull Anticipated inflation occurs at full employment

with realbull GDP equal to potential GDPbull But anticipated inflation particularly high

anticipatedbull inflation inflicts three costsbull 1048707 Transactions costsbull 1048707 Tax effectsbull 1048707 Increased uncertainty

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

Page 50: INFLATION A significant and persistent increase in the price level.

Effects of Inflation

bull The money wage ratebull rises in line with thebull anticipated rise in the pricebull levelbull The AD curve shiftsbull rightward and the SASbull curve shifts leftward sobull that the price level rises asbull anticipated and real GDPbull remains at potential GDP

Effects of Inflation

bull Unanticipated Inflationbull If aggregate demand increases by more than expectedbull inflation is higher than expectedbull Money wages do not adjust enough and the SAS curvebull does not shift leftward enough to keep the economy at

fullbull employmentbull Real GDP exceeds potential GDPbull Wages eventually rise which leads to a decrease in thebull SAS

Effects of Inflation

bull The economy experiences more inflation as it returns to

bull full employment

bull This inflation is like a demand-pull inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull If aggregate demand increases by less than expected

bull inflation is less than expectedbull Money wages rise too much and the SAS

curve shiftsbull leftward more than the AD curve shifts

rightwardbull Real GDP is less than potential GDPbull This inflation is like a cost-push inflation

Effects of Inflation

bull The Costs of Anticipated Inflationbull Anticipated inflation occurs at full employment

with realbull GDP equal to potential GDPbull But anticipated inflation particularly high

anticipatedbull inflation inflicts three costsbull 1048707 Transactions costsbull 1048707 Tax effectsbull 1048707 Increased uncertainty

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull How Interest Rates are Determinedbull The real interest rate is determined by investment

demandbull and saving supply in the global capital marketbull The real interest rate adjusts to make the quantity ofbull investment equal the quantity of savingbull National rates vary because of differences in riskbull The nominal interest rate is determined by the demand

forbull money and the supply of money in each nationrsquos moneybull market

Interest Rates and Inflation

bull Why Inflation Influences the Nominal Interest Rate

bull Inflation influences the nominal interest rate to maintain an

bull equilibrium real interest rate

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

The Phillips Curve

Inflation

Unemployment

Supply Shock

bull A change in technology or supply of raw materials that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve

Page 57: INFLATION A significant and persistent increase in the price level.

Expectations and Inflation

bull If every firm expects every other firm to raise prices by 10 every firm will raise prices by about 10 This is how expectations can get ldquobuilt into the systemrdquo

bull In terms of the ADAS diagram an increase in inflationary expectations shifts the AS curve to the left

Money and Inflation

bullHyperinflation is a period of very rapid increases in the price level

Money and InflationbullAn increase in G with the money supply constant shifts the AD curve from AD0 to AD1

bullThis leads to an increase in the interest rate and crowding out of planned investment

Money and Inflation

bullIf the Fed tries to prevent crowding it will increase the money supply and the AD curve will shift farther and farther to the right

bull The result is a sustained inflation perhaps hyperinflation

Long-Run Aggregate Supply Curve

bull The vertical line reflecting the natural level of output that the economy will produce in the long run regardless of the price level (full employment is assumed)

Phillips Curve

bull A curve showing an inverse relationship between inflation rate and unemployment rate in the short run

Inflation

Unemployment

Supply Shock

bull A change in technology or supply of raw materials that shifts the short-run aggregate supply curve
