national income | final market value of all G&S produced in the economy in a defined period of time |
GDP(Y) | WRiP = (wages and salaries)+(economic rent)+(interest)+(profits) - flow of income - return to factors of production |
GDP(E) | CIGnetX - flow of expenditures - return to flow of output |
nominal | actual = current= money = Δ P and/or Q |
real | $ constant - only ΔQ, holding P content to base your values |
how do you calculate real values? | = nominal/price |
potential national income = Y* = Yfe | max real output if all inputs are used at normal utilization rate |
output gap | y - y* |
recession | 2 quarters of negative growth |
depression | persistent low growth, high u, excess capacity |
economic growth | increase in real potential GDP/capita over time |
employment | # of workers, 15+ who have A job (full, part, temp, self-employed) |
unemployment | # of workers, 15+ who are willing and able to work but have NO job |
labour force | = employment + unemployment |
unemployment rate (u) | = unemployment/labour force |
employment rate | = employment/population |
productivity | real output/unit of input (LNKTE) |
frictional | turnover from switching jobs |
structural | mismatch in skills and jobs = ΔT |
cyclical | ups and downs in business cycle |
full-employment (y*) | frictional and structural u = NAIRU |
labour productivity | real output/unit of labour input, measured /worker or /hour worked |
key macro variables? | YUPie |

CPI | index of "weighted average price" of all G&S in "representative basket" of goods (base year 2002) |
purchasing power | # of goods than can be purchased /dollar |
interest rate | cost of borrowing money |
"the" interest rate | the mean of all I-rates (yield curve) |
prime rate | rate chartered banks charges preferred customers |
bank rate | rate BOC charges chartered banks |
nominal I-rate | current cost of borrowing |
real I-rate | nominal I-rate corrected for changes in purchasing power |
real I-rate formula | = nominal i-rate - inflation rate |
foreign exchange | actual foreign currency |
foreign exchange market | market for foreign exchange |
external value (ev) | price of domestic currency in foreign dollars |
exchange rate (e or ER) | price of foreign currency in domestic dollars |
