Macro CFA review
2
Outline • Measurement– National income (GDP) and unemployment
• Business cycles• Aggregate supply and demand model• Money• Money supply and demand• Monetary and fiscal policy – Activist versus non-activist policy
3
Gross Domestic Product• Objective: Estimate the amount of economic
activity • Approaches– measure output– measure expenditure– measure income
• These all measure the SAME THING!
4
Gross Domestic Product• Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the most
common measure of economic activity
• GDP – The market value of all final goods and services produced in a year, within a country’s borders
5
Expenditure
GDP = C + I + G + NX
C – Consumption expenditures
I – Investment expenditures • machines, equipment, structures, software and inventory
G – Government purchases of goods and services
NX – net exports = Exports minus imports
6
Income and outputGDP = output of the economy– Output produced using land, labor and capital
Payment to resources– Wages – payment to labor– Interest and profits – payment to capital (includes dividends)
– Rent - payment to land
GDP = wages + interest & profits + Rent
7
Real and Nominal GDP• Nominal value – the value in current dollars – Expenditure method: GDP = C + I + G + NX – measured in current market prices
• Real value – the value in constant dollars
8
9
Inflation• Inflation – sustained rise in the average level
of prices• Deflation – sustained decline in average level of prices
• Price level – measured using a price index
• Price index measures average, not relative prices
10
Calculating the inflation rateInflation rate is found by calculating the percent change in the price index
Inflation rate 1977-1978 =

12
Consequences Inflation• Inflation erodes the purchasing power of
money– Results in loss of purchasing power of monetary
and fixed income assets• Bank deposits, CDs, Bonds
– Results in a decrease in debt burden as purchasing power of debts fall
– Creates confusion about future prices
13
The “inflation tax”• Inflation distributes income from those with fixed
incomes to those with fixed costs.– Inflation acts as a tax on fixed income receipts
• Tax on lenders/savers
• The real value of fixed income falls as prices rise
• The real value of fixed payments fall as prices rise
14
Business Cycles
15
Unemployed• To be considered unemployed, a person must– not have a job– be 16 years of age or older– be actively seeking employment, or awaiting recall
• People not working and who are also not looking for work are not considered unemployed
16
Unemployment rateThe labor force = employed + unemployed persons
– Interpret as the number of available workers
The unemployment rate = unemployed divided by labor force
17
Example, USAEmployment Status, January 2013 Thousands of people
Employed 143,322
Unemployed 12,332
Not in labor force 89,009

Types of Unemployment• Frictional – Unemployment caused by short-
term movement of workers and first time job seekers.
• Structural – Unemployment caused by technological or structural changes in the economy
• Cyclical – Unemployment caused by recession
20
The natural rate of unemployment
Natural Rate of Unemployment – –The unemployment rate with no
cyclical unemployment
–Frictional and structural unemployment are always present in the economy
21
Unemployment rate
22
Potential GDPWhen unemployment = natural rate– real GDP = potential – No cyclical unemployment
23
Potential GDP
24
Model of GDP determinationGDP = output = expenditure
• Output: Everything produced by land, labor and capital– Aggregate supply
• Expenditure: C + I + G + NX– Aggregate demand
25
Model of GDP determinationGDP = output = expenditure
• Output: Everything produced by land, labor and capital – Aggregate supply
• Expenditure: C + I + G + NX– Aggregate demand
26
Long-run Aggregate Supply• Long-run: real GDP is equal to potential GDP
• Potential GDP is the most an economy can produce with resources and technology
• Potential GDP is independent of price level
27
Long-run Aggregate Supply Curve
The long-run Aggregate Supply curve is a vertical line at Potential GDP (Yp)

28
Short-run Aggregate Supply• Short-run:– Prices of resources/input and costs of production are
assumed to be fixed– Price of output may vary– As the price of output increases, the quantity of
output supplied (real GDP) increases.
• In the short-run, there is a positive relationship between price level and output (real GDP) supplied
29
Short-run Aggregate Supply Curve

Aggregate DemandAggregate expenditure: – Consumption (C)• Expectations, wealth
– Investment (I)• Expectations, interest rate
– Government Purchases (G)• Policy – can deficit if tax revenue not available
– Net Exports (NX)• Exchange rate, relative prices, foreign income

Responses to recessionsActivist/Keynesian response to recession– Use fiscal policy to increase AD• This is counter-cyclical policy
– Increase government purchases (G)– Reduce taxes Increase consumption (C)
Keynesians are all about Aggregate Demand!!– Multiplier effects: increase in G of $1 leads to greater
increase in AD

Discretionary/automatic stabilizersDiscretionary policy– Planned expenditures: American Recovery and
Reinvestment act (ARRA)
Automatic Stabilizers– Element of fiscal policy that changes automatically as
income (real GDP) changes• Example: progressive taxes, unemployment benefits
Result: Deficits higher during recessions
37
Consequences of deficits• Richardian equivalency theory• Crowding out theory• Supply-side economics
38
Ricardian Equivalence theory• AD shift is the same if government borrows or
increases taxes to finance spending
– households see government borrow– expect an increase taxes in the future– save more (spend less) to pay future taxes – Result: expansion of AD depressed
• David Ricardo (1772 – 1823)
39
Richardian equivalence
No increase in AD as result of increase in G or reduction in taxes

Crowding out theory• The government issues bonds to finance spending– Businesses also issue bonds to finance investment (I)
• Government and businesses compete for the same funds– government borrowing “crowds out”, or reduces,
private investment– Depresses increase in AD from government spending
41
Crowding out
Increase in AD caused by increase in G offset by decrease in I

Financing with Tax RevenueEventually, government spending has to be financed with tax revenue
Taxes reduce incentive to work– As tax rates increase, hours worked per person
decreases• Leads to a decrease in potential GDP and decrease in
LRAS
43
Supply-side Economics• The study of the effect of taxation on aggregate
supply is “supply-side economics”
• Increase tax rates reduces in economic activity– less income available to tax
• A decrease in tax rates increases economic activity– more income available to tax

Activists and non-activist• Keynesian/New Keynesian – Intervene to increase AD – benefits outweigh cost
• New Classical– Supply-side effects are powerful– Richardian equivalence means AD shift will be
small

Functions of MoneyMoney must perform the following functions:– Medium of exchange• Satisfies double coincidence of wants
– Unit of account• Goods are prices in money
– Store of value• Maintains purchasing power
– Standard of deferred payment• Debts denominated in money
49
Types of Money• Commodity Money– money with intrinsic value– Example: gold coins
• Fiduciary money or fiat currency– money backed by trust– U.S. dollar is a fiat currency
50
Defining MoneyThere are two official measures of the U.S. money supply1. M1 = Currency + checking deposits +
travelers checks2. M2 = M1 + savings deposits + CD + retail
Money market
Money expands through the banking system
51
Reserves• Banks are required to hold a fraction of
deposits in reserve– total reserves = cash in vault + deposits @Fed. bank
• The reserve requirement (rr) is set by Federal Reserve (more later)
– required reserves = rr times total deposits– Excess reserves = total reserves – required reserves
52
ExampleAssets Liabilities
Cash in Vault $20,000 Deposits $1,000,000
Deposits @ Fed Bank $100,000 Loans from other banks $0
Loans $480,000 Loans from Fed $0
Securities $400,000

total total
Suppose the reserve requirement = 10%. Show how the balance sheet would change if the bank loans out all of its excess reserves.

Deposit expansion multiplierThe maximum possible expansion of the money supply that results from a new deposit = value of the new deposit times deposit expansion multiplier
deposit expansion multiplier = 1/rr

Equation of Exchange
MV = PY
M: Money supply, could be M1 or M2
V: Velocity of money, # of times dollar is spent in a year
P: Price level
Y: real GDPPY: Nominal GDP
Equation of Exchange is an identity, it always holds
57
Tools of Monetary PolicyHow does the Federal Reserve control the money supply?
Federal Reserve tools:– The reserve requirement– Discount rate/discount loans– Open market operations
58
Reserve Requirement• The reserve requirement (rr) is the fraction of
deposits banks are required to hold in reserve
• Total (legal) reserves = Cash in vault + deposits @ Fed
• Required Reserves = rr times total deposits
• Excess reserves = Total Reserves – Required
59
Example
Assets Liabilities
Cash in Vault $20,000 Deposits $1,000,000
Deposits @ Fed Bank $80,000 Loans from other banks $0
Loans $500,000 Loans from Fed $0
Securities $400,000

Discount loan• The Federal Reserve can make loans to banks
• These loans are called Discount Loans
• The rate banks pay is called the Discount rate
61
Example
Assets Liabilities
Cash in Vault $20,000 Deposits $1,000,000
Deposits @ Fed Bank $80,000 Loans from other banks $0

Cascade Bank
62
Open Market Operations• The most common tool of monetary policy is open
market operations
• Open market operations are the purchase and sale of securities by the Federal Reserve
• Open market purchases increase excess reserves
• Open market sales decrease excess reserves
63
ExampleAssets Liabilities
Cash in Vault $20,000 Deposits $1,000,000

64
Using Tools• If the Federal Reserve wants to increase the
money supply – Decrease reserve requirement• increases excess reserves and increases the deposit
expansion multiplier
– Lower discount rate and make discount loans• increases excess reserves
– Perform open market purchases of securities• increases excess reserves
65
Using tools• If the Federal Reserve wants to decrease the
money supply– Increase reserve requirement• reduces excess reserves and decreases the deposit
expansion multiplier
– Increase the discount rate and reduce discount loans• reduces excess reserves
– Perform open market sales of securities• reduces excess reserves

M: Money supply, could be M1 or M2
V: Velocity of money, # of times dollar is spent in a year
P: Price level

Equation of Exchange is an identity, it always holds
67
Quantity TheoryAssume velocity is constant.
In the long-run, a change in M only influences price level
In the short-run, changes in the money supply influences Nominal GDP ?
Money DemandWhy hold money?– transactions demand – buy stuff
• depends on nominal income
– precautionary demand – unplanned expenditures– speculative demand – money is a store of value
• speculative demand is determined by the uncertainty about the value of other assets
What do you give up when you hold money?– the return you would earn on non-monetary assets or
interest rate

Money supplySuppose the money supply is independent of interest rate– controlled by Federal Reserve in the USA today• might increase or decrease depending on policy
Interest rate is determined in equilibrium by money supply supply and demand– changes in interest rate are caused by changes in
money supply and or demand

Short-run and long-runMonetary policy can be used to influence AD• Short-run– Influence price level and real GDP
• Long-run– Influence price-level only - inflation
76
Activists and non-activistsActivists:– Economy can take a long time to recover from recession– Use monetary (and fiscal) policy to increase aggregate
demand
Non-activist– Economy adjust quickly
• Agents have rational expectations
– Aggressive monetary (and fiscal) policies worsen recessions and cause inflation
– Lags associated with monetary and fiscal policies

Recap - activistsActive role for government in economy– Use monetary tools to influence short-run interest
rate– Use fiscal policy to increase G and temporary
reduce taxes when economy is in recession– Benefits of using fiscal and monetary policies
outweigh cost
Keynesian and New Keynesians are activist
79
Recap – non-activistLittle government involvement– Set monetary policy rules– Keep taxes low and don’t make policy changes– Active monetary policies are inflationary– Active fiscal policies are costly and result in
declines in potential GDP
Monetarists and New Classical are non-activist
