Income approach (to calculate GDP) | Y=W+I+R+P Y= GDP W= Wages I=Interest R=Rents P=Profits |
Expenditures approach (to calculate GDP) | Y=C+I+G+X-M Y=GDP C=Consumption I= Investment G= Government Spending X= Exports M= Imports |
GDP Deflator Equation | GDP Deflator=(NGDP/RGDP)x100 |
NGDP Equation | NGDP= RGDP x GDP Deflator |
RGDP Equation | NGDP/GDP Deflator |
Money Multiplier Equation | MM=1/Reserve Requirement |
Change in Money Supply= | Change in Reserves X MM |
National Debt | the total amount of money that a country's government has borrowed |
Flexible wages | Wages are said to be flexible when they respond to changes in supply and demand. Any change in supply and demand for labour will lead to a change in the wage rate. |
Autonomous Consumption | the unavoidable consumption expenditure of an entity that cannot easily cut down based on a decline in income (Like food and water) |
Real Interest Rate | An interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation. |
Floating Exchange rates | an exchange rate system where a country’s currency price is determined by the relative supply and demand of other currencies. |
Demand-pull inflation | a type of inflation that is caused when there is an increase in consumer demand for goods and services. |
Budget deficit | When expenditures exceed revenue |
(Government Spending) When there is a high budget deficit... What will happen to inflation, taxes, and interest rates. | Inflation will rise, Tax rates will rise, and interest rates will rise. |
Higher Government spending causes GDP to... | Rise in the long-run if in the recession If the economy is at full-employment, it will cause crowing out, no rise in GDP. |

Draw a Supply and Demand Graph | X axes: Quantity Y axes: Price |
Draw a AD/AS (Full-Employment) Model | X axes: Real GDP Y axes: Price Level |
Draw a Money Market Graph | X axes: Quantity Y axes: Nominal Interest Rates |
Draw a Loanable Funds Graph | X axes: Quantity of Loans Y axes: Real Interest Rates |
Draw a Phillips Curve | X axes: Unemployment Y axes: Inflation |
Draw a Foreign Exchange Graph | X axes: Quantity Y axes: Exchange Rate |
An increase in the reserve requirement... | raises the reserve ratio, lowers the money multiplier, and decreases the money supply. |
A decrease in the reserve requirement... | Lowers the reserve ratio, raises the money multiplier, and increases the money supply. |
Result of increased value of a county's currency in the foreign exchange market: | A higher-valued currency makes a country's imports less expensive and its exports more expensive in foreign markets. |
Real per capita income | the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group including those living in group quarters. |
Main Criticism of GDP as a measure of a nation's well-being: | Because GDP uses market prices to value goods and services, it excludes the value of almost all activity that takes place outside markets. |
