    Important points In India GDP is used for measuring growth rate and in India it is calculated

    quarterly

    Since GDP captures investments made in the country this is a preferred

    measure of growth rate as compared to GNP

    Measuring GDP Final goods

    GDP is taken as the value of final goods and services produced to avoid

    double count Value added

    At each stage of the manufacture of a good, only the value added to the good

    at that stage is considered for GDP

    Eg: Value of bread = value of wheat produced by farmer + (Value of flour sold

    by miller value of wheat )

    + (Value of bread sold Value of flour used)

    Current Output

    GDP consists of value of output currently produced

    Imp Points: Construction of new houses is a part of GDP

    Trading of existing houses is not a part of GDP

    Value of realtors fees in the sale of existing houses is included in GDP

    Inflation and Price Indices Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore,

    nominal GDP will include all of the changes in market prices that have

    occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation.

    Real GDP is GDP evaluated at the market prices of some base year. For

    example, if 1990 were chosen as the base year, then real GDP for 1995 is

    calculated by taking the quantities of all goods and services purchased in

    1995 and multiplying them by their 1990 prices.

    Inflation is defined as a rise in the overall price level, and deflation is

    defined as a fall in the overall price level.

    GDP deflator. Using the statistics on real GDP and nominal GDP, one can

    calculate an implicit index of the price level for the year. This index is

    called the GDP deflator and is given by the formula

  • 7/27/2019 Macroeconomics Currenci Review

    11/80

    CPI: differs from the GDP deflator in two important ways. First, the CPImeasures only the change in the prices of a basket of goods consumed by atypical household. Second, the CPI uses base year quantities rather thancurrent year quantities in calculating the price level index value

    Producer Price Index (PPI):It measures the average change over time in the

    selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. The pricesincluded in the PPI are from the first commercial transaction for manyproducts and some services.

    Core inflation represents the long run trend in the price level. In measuringlong run inflation, transitory price changes should be excluded. One way of

    accomplishing this is by excluding items frequently subject to volatile prices,like food and energy

    Goods Market Equilibrium, the IS curve

    IS curve gives combination of income and interest

    at which goods market is in equilibrium ie.,

    income or output of the economy equals the

    aggregate demand for a given interest rate. The IS curve is downward sloping because at

    lower interest rates investment I is higher. Hence,

    output is more at lower income levels.

    Increase in income/ spending/ investments

    moves IS curve to the right. Decrease moves it to

    the left.

    Crowding Out

    Crowding out occurs when an expansionary fiscalpolicy leads to rise in interest and results inreduction in private spending (investment).

    Extent of crowding out depends on the slope ofLM curve

    Fiscal expansion by tax cut also leads to crowdingout.

    Flexible exchange rate : depreciation,appreciation

    Clean float, Dirty (Managed) Float

    The real exchange rate is the ratio of foreign todomestic prices, measured in the same

    currency. R = ePf/P. It measures competitiveness in international trade

    In fixed exchange rate, money supply is tightlycontrolled by BoP. Surpluses imply automatic

    This results in a pressure for devaluation whichthe central bank negates by selling foreign

    currency and buying local currency from foreignmarket.

    This means a decreases in money supply asreserves are depleted. Hence the LM curve

    Phillips Curve Phillips curve gives the inverse relation between

    inflation and unemployment. If inflation increases,(u-u*) decreases

    Inflation in prices is synonymous with increase in

    wages here

    U* is the natural rate of unemployment.

    In the final form, Philips curve states that difference

    between actual and expected inflation is inversely

    related to unemployment level in economy. - e = - (u-u*)

    Stagflation is the scenario of high inflation (yet below

    expected level of inflation) and high unemployment.

    Phillips Curve One question in P.Curve is why people dont expect the

    correct rate of inflation, adjust wages accordingly andensure 0 unemployment.

    The answer is that people make incorrect expectations(mostly based on past data) and wages are sticky.

    Wages are sticky due to

    Labor contracts

    Lack of coordination among firms for changing wages

    Motivation Theory of Wages : low wages may demotivate

    Supply Shocks

    Permanent supply shocks are those that movethe long run AS curve permanently to the rightor left. They could be due to technological

    enhancements, newly discovered naturalresources or war, famine etc.,

    Temporary supply shocks is a sudden increase(decrease) in supply of goods. This is

    characterized by sudden increase in prices. ie.,As curve moves up (down).

    Supply Shocks

    Due to a temporary supply shock, prices

    increase and output Y < Y*. Prices decrease

    slowly until AS returns to its original position.

    This takes a long time and is recessionary innature.

    Expansionary monetary policy or fiscal policy

    can restore output to Y*, however pricesremain at the high level (P2).

    Policies to create employment will typically

    worsen trade balance, policies to create a

    Devaluation

    Devaluation is effective only when foreign priceof domestic goods decreases Real devaluation

    If prices increases with devaluation its is of no

    effect. In crawling peg exchange rate, the exchange rate

    is depreciated at a rate roughly equal to theinterest rate differential between the country and

    its trading partner. The idea is to maintain R constant by increasing e

    at the same rate as P/Pf. R= eP/Pf

    issues

    In small open economies with wageindexation, it may be difficult to change realexchange rate through devaluation.

    This is because changes in cost of living bydevaluation changes real wages which feedsinto wages. This is the Wage price spiral.

    In general countries using devaluation willhave to use restrictive AD policies to ensurethat real exchange rate stays devalued.

    J-Curve and Hysteresis Effect As NX = X (ePf/P)Q , devaluation initially worsens NX

    as volume traded doesnt change immediately. This is

    the Price effect. In the long run, exports start to increase and NX

    improves. This is the Volume effect.

    This change in NX is characterized by the J-Curve (NX

    dips first, rises later) Hysteresis : If currency was over valued for long time,

    people may move to imports, ie. Foreign brands. In thiscase, devaluation might take a really long time to bringany improvement.

    For eg. The US $ was over-valued for a really long timeand people in the US had by then accustomed tocheaper Japanese goods. When $ was devalued,demand took a long time to move from Japanese to USgoods.

    Monetary Approach to BoP

    It is suggested (IMF) that BoP imbalance is

    monetary phenomenon, can be corrected

    through monetary policy changes.

    Tight money policy reduces demand, incomeand hence BoP deficit can be corrected.

    But with sterilization persistent deficits are

    possible money stock remains high.

    be such that it meets the increase in money demand.

    Curtailment of domestic credit reduces demand,induces recession and corrects the BoP

    Proponents of monetary approach argue that

    Countries which are having unemployment willfind it difficult to implement credit contraction.

    Return on foreign bonds (in terms of domestic

    currency) = if+ e/e

    e is Rs/$ (Rs is home currency here). So ifexchange rate depreciates, e increases and return

    on foreign bond is higher.

    Explanation If home currency is expected to appreciate, domestic

    assets are attractive even at lower interest rate.

    Hence, economy achieves BoP = 0 for a lower interestrate i.

    But at the current level, economy is operating in asurplus and cash flows force the currency toappreciate.

    This reduces competitiveness and forces the IS curve tomove down.

    Hence an expectation for appreciation came true, withappreciation of currency, lowered output andemployment. The expectation is Self fulfilling in nature.
