The 3 beakdowns of GDP: GDP - INDIRECT TAXES + SUBSIDIES = GVA = GDI By Expenditure : Y=C+G+I+(X−IM) = GDP By Output (GVA) : OUTPUT=TOTAL VALUE OF SALES−INTERMEDIATE CONSUMPTION By Income (GDI) : RENT + INTEREST + PROFITS + STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENT + WAGES Demand-pull inflation : positive demande shock Cost-push inflation : negative demande shock Effet de l’inflation sur les taux d’intérêts : CT : les taux d’intérêt baissent LT : les taux d’intérêt augmentent Two Types of Actions of CB (inflation) A) Expansionary (Increasing the Money Supply): The Central Bank buys bonds from commercial banks. It lends money to banks. B) Contractionary (Reducing the Money Supply): The Central Bank sells bonds to banks. It does not renew certain loans. Three Types of Unemployment: Frictional Unemployment (= transition between jobs) Structural Unemployment (= lack of appropriate skills) Cyclical Unemployment (= caused by economic crises) FU + SU = Natural unemployment Output Gap = Difference Between the Observed GDP and Its Maximum Sustainable Level (Potential GDP) Output Gap = Y - Yn = Real GDP – Potential GDP If Y > Yn → The economy is overheating (inflation, excessive demand). Risk: Inflation rises because everyone is spending too much. If Y < Yn → The economy is underperforming (high unemployment, economic crisis). Risk: Less consumption, slower growth.
