Price elasticity of demand % D % P
Example Period Quantity of demand (loaf) Price (rub) Last month 3000 10 Next month 2700 12
Elastic/inelastic PED Description Illustration <1 Relatively inelastic Necessities (bread, milk, salt) =1 Unit elastic Product of unit elastic >1 Relatively elastic Not essential ( computer, car, holiday)
Factors affecting PED Availability of substitutes Amount of income spent on the product or service VS Necessity of the item Duration of the change in price
Cost behaviour Short term Long term law of diminishing returns AC AC diseconomies of scale SRATC LRATC Output

Trade cycles Peak Expansion Recession Trough
Economic growth: problems • Growth may be through exploitation of the poor • Growth may be at the expense of the environment • Gap between rich and poor may grow • Rapid growth “sucks in” imports
Inflation and unemployment • Inflation causes uncertainty and stifles investment • Not all the incomes rise with line with inflation • Unemployment restricts economic growth • Rise in crime, poor health, etc
Balance of payments • Long-term deficit slows down economy • Long-term trade surplus can cause rise of inflation
How to stimulate growth Running A deficit Cutting interest rates Economic growth Affecting on supply
Forms of unemployment Cyclical Frictional Structural Real wage Seasonal
How to reduce the level of unemployment? ↓AD ↓r ↑G Monetarists UE and Inflation can coexist Keynesians Free up ↑S ↓UE UE and Inflation can not coexist
Imperfections in the labour market Workers have: • wrong skills • wrong place • inadequate info • immobility Natural Rate of Unemployment (NAIRU)
Types of inflation Demand-pull • Demand is growing faster than supply Cost-push • Cost of factors of production increases Imported Inflation • Weakening currency increases cost of import Monetary Inflation • Over expansion of money supply Expectations effect • Anticipated level of inflation determines the future inflation
Balance of payments Current Account Capital & Financial Account
Balance of payments deficit 1. Reducing overall demand: ↓demand for import ↓ Inflationary pressure ↓export prices ↑ Unemployment 2. Increasing interest rates: ↓ demand for import ↓ investment currency strengthen ↑export prices Expenditure-reducing strategies 1. Import controls: a)Direct b) Exchange controls 2. Boost export: a)Subsidies b)Export credit guaranty 3. Lower the exchange rate: a)Devaluation b)Depreciation Expenditure-switching strategies
DEFICIT Income>expenditure SURPLUS Income=expenditure BALANCE
Budget deficit Injecting money Government • economic growth • reducing unemployment Economy
BUDGET SURPLUS reducing aggregate demand
Monetary policy options Government use: • • changing interest rates • trading in foreign exchange markets setting reserve requirements for banks
Instruments of monetary policy reserve requirements interest rates

The classic view Supply • Do nothing Demand • Leave it alone
Keynesian view There are equilibrium points which didn’t necessary involve full employment Concept is based on the management of the aggregate demand
The monetarist view I’m from Government. I’m here to help you! Market imperfections: • • • inflation; government spending and taxation; price fixing; minimum wage agreements; regulation of markets; abuses of monopole power.
