Summary
• 当美联储紧缩货币增长以减少通货膨胀时, 它使经济沿着短期菲利普斯曲线移动。
• 这就引起暂时的高失业。 • 反通货膨胀的代价取决于通货膨胀预期会 多快地下降。
• 菲利普斯曲线说明了短期中出现的通货膨胀 与失业的结合,这种结合的原因是总需求曲 线移动驱使经济沿着短期总供给曲线移动。 • 对物品与劳务的需求量越大,经济中的产量 就越高,物价总水平也就越高。 • 较高的产量带来较低的失业率 。

中级宏观经济学通货膨胀与失业

中级宏观经济学通货膨胀与失业

中级宏观经济学通货膨胀与失业通货膨胀与失业是宏观经济学中两个重要的经济现象。

本文将从宏观经济学的角度出发,探讨通货膨胀与失业之间的关系,并分析其对经济的影响。

一、通货膨胀的定义与原因通货膨胀是指货币供应量的持续增加,导致物价水平普遍上涨的经济现象。

其主要原因包括货币供应过多,需求过剩等。

1.1 货币供应过多当中央银行增加货币供应时,人们手中的货币增多,导致消费和投资的需求上升,从而推动物价上涨。

1.2 需求过剩当经济处于高就业水平和强大的消费力的时候,企业的生产能力会出现不足,导致物价上涨。

二、失业的定义与类型失业是指劳动力供大于求,有能力工作但不能找到工作的经济现象。

根据原因和性质划分,失业可以分为结构性失业、摩擦性失业和周期性失业。

2.1 结构性失业结构性失业是由于劳动力供需结构不匹配引起的失业现象。

例如,劳动力技能不符合市场需求,导致部分人员无法找到适合的工作。

2.2 摩擦性失业摩擦性失业是由于劳动力在转职或者寻找新的就业机会时的短期失业现象。

这种失业通常是暂时性的,随着信息传递和资源配置的改善,很快会得到解决。

2.3 周期性失业周期性失业是由经济周期性波动引起的失业现象。

当经济处于经济衰退期时,企业生产能力下降,需求减少,导致大量员工失业。

三、通货膨胀与失业之间的关系通货膨胀与失业之间存在一定的关系。

传统上,人们普遍认为通货膨胀与失业之间存在着一种权衡关系,也称为菲利普斯曲线。

3.1 菲利普斯曲线菲利普斯曲线揭示了通货膨胀与失业之间的关系。

曲线描述了通货膨胀率与失业率之间的负相关关系。

当失业率较高时,通货膨胀率较低;反之,当失业率较低时,通货膨胀率较高。

3.2 曲线的解释与批评菲利普斯曲线的解释主要有两种观点:供给派和需求派。

供给派认为通货膨胀是由于物价上涨导致的工资增长,从而导致企业减少雇佣人员。

需求派则认为通货膨胀会刺激经济增长,从而降低失业率。

然而,近年来,由于供求关系的变化和金融市场的复杂性,菲利普斯曲线的可靠性受到了一定程度的质疑。

经济学原理  (12.5)--通货膨胀与失业之间的短期权衡取舍、宏观经济政策的六个争论问题-习题答案

Principles of Economics II (Spring 2013)Homework #6(Chapter 33-36, due on June 14th, 2013, submitted out of class)Note: All textbook problem numbers refer to “Problems and Application” part in corresponding chapter, the 6th Chinese/U.S. edition of the textbook.For Chapter 331.Textbook, Chapter 33, #33. a. The current state of the economy is shown in Figure 7. The aggregate-demandcurve and short-run aggregate-supply curve intersect at the same point on thelong-run aggregate-supply curve.Figure 7b. If the central bank increases the money supply, aggregate demand shifts tothe right (to point B). In the short run, there is an increase in output and theprice level.c. Over time, nominal wages, prices, and perceptions will adjust to this new pricelevel. As a result, the short-run aggregate-supply curve will shift to the left.The economy will return to its natural rate of output (point C).d. According to the sticky-wage theory, nominal wages at points A and B areequal. However, nominal wages at point C are higher.e. According to the sticky-wage theory, real wages at point B are lower than realwages at point A. However, real wages at points A and C are equal.f. Yes, this analysis is consistent with long-run monetary neutrality. In the longrun, an increase in the money supply causes an increase in the nominal wage,but leaves the real wage unchanged.2.Textbook, Chapter 33, # 55. a. The statement that "the aggregate-demand curve slopes downward because itis the horizontal sum of the demand curves for individual goods" is false. Theaggregate-demand curve slopes downward because a fall in the price levelraises the overall quantity of goods and services demanded through the wealtheffect, the interest-rate effect, and the exchange-rate effect.b. The statement that "the long-run aggregate-supply curve is vertical becauseeconomic forces do not affect long-run aggregate supply" is false. Economicforces of various kinds (such as population and productivity) do affect long-runaggregate supply. The long-run aggregate-supply curve is vertical because theprice level does not affect long-run aggregate supply.c. The statement that "if firms adjusted their prices every day, then the short-runaggregate-supply curve would be horizontal" is false. If firms adjusted pricesquickly and if sticky prices were the only possible cause for the upward slope ofthe short-run aggregate-supply curve, then the short-run aggregate-supplycurve would be vertical, not horizontal. The short-run aggregate supply curvewould be horizontal only if prices were completely fixed.d. The statement that "whenever the economy enters a recession, its long-runaggregate-supply curve shifts to the left" is false. An economy could enter arecession if either the aggregate-demand curve or the short-runaggregate-supply curve shifts to the left.3.Textbook, Chapter 33, # 88. a. People will likely expect that the new chairman will not actively fight inflationso they will expect the price level to rise.b. If people believe that the price level will be higher over the next year, workerswill want higher nominal wages.c. At any given price level, higher labor costs lead to reduced profitability.d. The short-run aggregate-supply curve will shift to the left as shown in Figure10.Figure 10e. A decline in short-run aggregate supply leads to reduced output and a higherprice level.f. No, this choice was probably not wise. The end result is stagflation, whichprovides limited choices in terms of policies to remedy the situation.Figure 114.Textbook, Chapter 33, # 99. a. If households decide to save a larger share of their income, they must spendless on consumer goods, so the aggregate-demand curve shifts to the left, as shown in Figure 11. The equilibrium changes from point A to point B, so theprice level declines and output declines.b. If Florida orange groves suffer a prolonged period of below-freezingtemperatures, the orange harvest will be reduced. This decline in the naturalrate of output is represented in Figure 12 by a shift to the left in both theshort-run and long-run aggregate-supply curves. The equilibrium changesfrom point A to point B, so the price level rises and output declines.Figure 12Figure 13c. If increased job opportunities cause people to leave the country, the long-runand short-run aggregate-supply curves will shift to the left because there arefewer people producing output. The aggregate-demand curve will also shift tothe left because there are fewer people consuming goods and services. Theresult is a decline in the quantity of output, as Figure 13 shows. Whether theprice level rises or declines depends on the relative sizes of the shifts in theaggregate-demand curve and the aggregate-supply curves.5.Textbook, Chapter 33, #1111. a. If firms become optimistic about future business conditions and increaseinvestment, the result is shown in Figure 18. The economy begins at point Awith aggregate-demand curve AD1 and short-run aggregate-supply curve AS1.The equilibrium has price level P1 and output level Y1. Increased optimismleads to greater investment, so the aggregate-demand curve shifts to AD2.Now the economy is at point B, with price level P2 and output level Y2. Theaggregate quantity of output supplied rises because the price level has risenand people have misperceptions about the price level, wages are sticky, orprices are sticky, all of which cause output supplied to increase.Figure 18b. Over time, as the misperceptions of the price level disappear, wages adjust, orprices adjust, the short-run aggregate-supply curve shifts up to AS2 and theeconomy gets to equilibrium at point C, with price level P3 and output level Y1.The quantity of output demanded declines as the price level rises.c. The investment boom might increase the long-run aggregate-supply curvebecause higher investment today means a larger capital stock in the future,thus higher productivity and output.6.Textbook, Chapter 33, # 1212. Economy B would have a more steeply sloped short-run aggregate-supply curvethan would Economy A, because only half of the wages in Economy B are “sticky.”A 5% increase in the money supply would have a larger effect on output inEconomy A and a larger effect on the price level in Economy B.7.True or false? Keynes's primary message in The General Theory was that short-run economicfluctuations were the result of inadequate aggregate demand that could be corrected by using government policy.TrueFor Chapter 348.Textbook, Chapter 34, # 11. a. When the Fed’s bond traders buy bonds in open-market operations, themoney-supply curve shifts to the right from MS1 to MS2, as shown in Figure 1.The result is a decline in the interest rate.Figure 1 Figure 2b. When an increase in credit card availability reduces the cash people hold, themoney-demand curve shifts to the left from MD1 to MD2, as shown in Figure 2.The result is a decline in the interest rate.c. When the Federal Reserve reduces reserve requirements, the money supplyincreases, so the money-supply curve shifts to the right from MS1 to MS2, asshown in Figure 1. The result is a decline in the interest rate.d. When households decide to hold more money to use for holiday shopping, themoney-demand curve shifts to the right from MD1 to MD2, as shown in Figure3. The result is a rise in the interest rate.Figure 3e. When a wave of optimism boosts business investment and expands aggregatedemand, money demand increases from MD1 to MD2 in Figure 3. The increasein money demand increases the interest rate.Figure 49.Textbook, Chapter 34, # 22. a. The increase in the money supply will cause the equilibrium interest rate todecline, as shown in Figure 4. Households will increase spending and willinvest in more new housing. Firms too will increase investment spending. Thiswill cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right as shown in Figure5.Figure 5b. As shown in Figure 5, the increase in aggregate demand will cause an increasein both output and the price level in the short run (point B).c. When the economy makes the transition from its short-run equilibrium to itslong-run equilibrium, short-run aggregate supply will decline, causing the pricelevel to rise even further (point C).d. The increase in the price level will cause an increase in the demand for money,raising the equilibrium interest rate.e. Yes. While output initially rises because of the increase in aggregate demand,it will fall once short-run aggregate supply declines. Thus, there is no long-runeffect of the increase in the money supply on real output.10.Textbook, Chapter 34, # 3Figure 63. a. When fewer ATMs are available, money demand is increased and themoney-demand curve shifts to the right from MD1 to MD2, as shown in Figure6. If the Fed does not change the money supply, which is at MS1, the interestrate will rise from r1 to r2. The increase in the interest rate shifts theaggregate-demand curve to the left, as consumption and investment fall.b. If the Fed wants to stabilize aggregate demand, it should increase the moneysupply to MS2, so the interest rate will remain at r1 and aggregate demand willnot change.c. To increase the money supply using open market operations, the Fed shouldbuy government bonds.11.Textbook, Chapter 34, #88. a. The initial effect of the tax reduction of $20 billion is to increase aggregatedemand by $20 billion × 3/4 (the MPC) = $15 billion.b. Additional effects follow this initial effect as the added incomes are spent. Thesecond round leads to increased consumption spending of $15 billion × 3/4 =$11.25 billion. The third round gives an increase in consumption of $11.25billion × 3/4 = $8.44 billion. The effects continue indefinitely. Adding them allup gives a total effect that depends on the multiplier. With an MPC of 3/4, themultiplier is 1/(1 – 3/4) = 4. So the total effect is $15 billion × 4 = $60 billion.c. Government purchases have an initial effect of the full $20 billion, becausethey increase aggregate demand directly by that amount. The total effect of anincrease in government purchases is thus $20 billion × 4 = $80 billion. Sogovernment purchases lead to a bigger effect on output than a tax cut does.The difference arises because government purchases affect aggregatedemand by the full amount, but a tax cut is partly saved by consumers, andtherefore does not lead to as much of an increase in aggregate demand.d. The government could increase taxes by the same amount it increases itspurchases.12.Textbook, Chapter 34, # 99. If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, the spending multiplier will be 1/(1 – 0.8) = 5. Therefore, the government would have to increase spending by $400/5 = $80 billion to close the recessionary gap.13.Textbook, Chapter 34, 1111. a. Expansionary fiscal policy is more likely to lead to a short-run increase ininvestment if the investment accelerator is large. A large investmentaccelerator means that the increase in output caused by expansionary fiscalpolicy will induce a large increase in investment. Without a large accelerator,investment might decline because the increase in aggregate demand will raisethe interest rate.b. Expansionary fiscal policy is more likely to lead to a short-run increase ininvestment if the interest sensitivity of investment is small. Because fiscalpolicy increases aggregate demand, thus increasing money demand and theinterest rate, the greater the sensitivity of investment to the interest rate thegreater the decline in investment will be, which will offset the positiveaccelerator effect.For Chapter 3514.Textbook, Chapter 35, #11. Figure 8 shows two different short-run Phillips curves depicting these four points.Points A and D are on SRPC1 because both have expected inflation of 3%. Points Band C are on SRPC2 because both have expected inflation of 5%.Figure 815.Textbook, Chapter 35, #4Figure 144. a. Figure 14 shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at point A, which is onboth the long-run and short-run Phillips curves.b. A wave of business pessimism reduces aggregate demand, moving theeconomy to point B in the figure. The unemployment rate rises and theinflation rate declines. If the Fed undertakes expansionary monetary policy, itcan increase aggregate demand, offsetting the pessimism and returning theeconomy to point A, with the initial inflation rate and unemployment rate.c. Figure 15 shows the effects on the economy if the price of imported oil rises.The higher price of imported oil shifts the short-run Phillips curve up fromSRPC1 to SRPC2. The economy moves from point A to point C, with a higherinflation rate and higher unemployment rate. If the Fed engages inexpansionary monetary policy, it can return the economy to its originalunemployment rate at point D, but the inflation rate will be higher. If the Fedengages in contractionary monetary policy, it can return the economy to itsoriginal inflation rate at point E, but the unemployment rate will be higher. Thissituation differs from that in part (b) because in part (b) the economy stayedon the same short-run Phillips curve, but in part (c) the economy moved to ahigher short-run Phillips curve, which gives policymakers a less favorabletrade-off between inflation and unemployment.Figure 1516.Textbook, Chapter 35, #6Figure 166. If the Fed acts on its belief that the natural rate of unemployment is 4%, when thenatural rate is in fact 5%, the result will be a spiraling up of the inflation rate, asshown in Figure 16. Starting from a point on the long-run Phillips curve, with anunemployment rate of 5%, the Fed will believe that the economy is in a recession,because the unemployment rate is greater than its estimate of the natural rate.Therefore, the Fed will increase the money supply, moving the economy along theshort-run Phillips curve SRPC1. The inflation rate will rise and the unemploymentrate will fall to 4%. As the inflation rate rises over time, expectations of inflationwill rise, and the short-run Phillips curve will shift up to SRPC2. This process willcontinue, and the inflation rate will spiral upwards.The Fed may eventually realize that its estimate of the natural rate ofunemployment is wrong by examining the rising trend in the inflation rate.17.Textbook, Chapter 35, #77. a. If wage contracts have short durations, a recession induced by contractionarymonetary policy will be less severe, because wage contracts can be adjustedmore rapidly to reflect the lower inflation rate. This will allow a more rapidmovement of the short-run aggregate-supply curve and short-run Phillipscurve to restore the economy to long-run equilibrium.b. If there is little confidence in the Fed's determination to reduce inflation, arecession induced by contractionary monetary policy will be more severe. Itwill take longer for people's inflation expectations to adjust downwards.c. If expectations of inflation adjust quickly to actual inflation, a recessioninduced by contractionary monetary policy will be less severe. In this case,people's expectations adjust quickly, so the short-run Phillips curve shiftsquickly to restore the economy to long-run equilibrium at the natural rate ofunemployment.18.Textbook, Chapter 35, #9Figure 179. a. As shown in the left diagram of Figure 17, equilibrium output and employmentwill fall. However, the effects on the price level and inflation rate will beambiguous. The fall in aggregate demand puts downward pressure on prices,while the decline in short-run aggregate supply pushes prices up. The diagramon the right side of Figure 17 assumes that the inflation rate rises.b. The Fed would have to use expansionary monetary policy to keep output andemployment at their natural rates. Aggregate demand would have to shift toAD3.c. The Fed may not want to pursue this action because it will lead to a rise in theinflation rate as shown by point C.19.选举周期与经济波动:一个经济某一年的菲利普斯曲线由下列的关系式确定:π = πe - (u - 4%)。

曼昆的十大经济学原理

曼昆的十大经济学原理

曼昆的十大经济学原理曼昆(N. Gregory Mankiw)是一位知名的经济学家,他在其著作《宏观经济学原理》中提出了十大经济学原理,这些原理不仅对经济学领域有着重要的指导意义,也对我们理解经济运行规律有着重要的启示。

接下来,我们将逐一介绍这十大经济学原理。

第一条原理是“人们面临权衡取舍”。

这个原理告诉我们,在资源有限的情况下,人们需要在各种选择之间进行权衡取舍。

任何决策都意味着放弃其他选择,这就是经济学中的“机会成本”概念。

第二条原理是“某种东西的成本是为了得到它所放弃的东西”。

这一原理与第一条原理相呼应,它强调了机会成本的概念。

在做出决策时,我们需要考虑到放弃某种东西所带来的成本。

第三条原理是“理性人考虑边际量”。

边际量指的是一种额外的量,理性人会比较边际量与边际成本来做出决策。

这一原理对于理解人们的决策行为有着重要的启示作用。

第四条原理是“人们会对激励作出反应”。

激励是人们行为的重要驱动力,人们会对各种激励作出反应,这一原理对于理解市场经济中的行为有着重要的意义。

第五条原理是“贸易可以使每个人的状况都变得更好”。

贸易能够让每个人更好地利用自己的优势,从而实现互利互惠,这一原理是国际贸易理论的基础。

第六条原理是“市场通常是组织经济活动的一种好方法”。

市场机制能够有效地调节资源配置,实现资源的有效利用,这一原理是市场经济制度的基础。

第七条原理是“政府有时可以改善市场结果”。

尽管市场能够有效地调节资源配置,但有些时候政府的干预也是必要的,比如修正市场失灵和提供公共产品等。

第八条原理是“一国的生活水平取决于它生产物品和服务的能力”。

经济增长是提高生活水平的根本途径,这一原理强调了生产力的重要性。

第九条原理是“当政府发行了过多货币时,物价上升”。

通货膨胀是货币供应过多的结果,这一原理强调了货币政策对于通货膨胀的影响。

第十条原理是“社会面临通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡取舍”。

通货膨胀和失业之间存在一种短期的权衡取舍关系,这一原理对宏观经济政策的制定有着重要的指导意义。

经济学十大原理解析

经济学十大原理解析

经济学十大原理解析
经济学十大原理是哈佛大学经济学教授格里高利·曼昆在其著作《经济学原理》中提出的,这些原理包括:
1.人们面临权衡取舍:稀缺性意味着人们必须在不同的目标之间进行权衡取舍,比如时间、金钱、资源等。

2.某种东西的成本是为了得到它所放弃的东西:机会成本是指为了得到某种东西而放弃的其他东西的价值。

3.理性人考虑边际量:理性人在做决策时会考虑边际成本和边际收益,即增加一个单位的某种资源所带来的成本和收益。

4.人们会对激励做出反应:人们的决策和行为受到激励的影响,他们会根据激励做出相应的反应。

5.贸易能使每个人状况更好:贸易可以使不同的人在不同的领域发挥优势,从而提高整个社会的福利。

6.市场通常是组织经济活动的好方法:市场可以通过价格机制来调节资源的分配,提高经济效率。

7.政府有时可以改善市场结果:政府可以通过干预市场来纠正市场失灵,提高社会福利。

8.一国的生活水平取决于其生产率:生产率决定了资源的利用效率,从而影响生活水平。

9.当政府发行了过多货币时,物价上升:过多发行货币会导致通货膨胀,物价上升。

10.社会面临通货膨胀与失业之间的短期权衡取舍:在短期内,增加就业可能导致通货膨胀,而抑制通货膨胀可能导致失业率上升。

这些原理是经济学的基础,对于理解经济现象和制定经济政策具有重要意义。

沃尔克的反通货膨涨
• 当保罗.沃尔克在20世纪70年代担任美联储主 席时,通货膨涨被广泛认为是国家的首要问 题之一。 • 沃尔克在降低通货膨涨上成功了(从10%降 到4%),但是是以高失业为代价的(1983 年失业率近10%)。
格林斯潘时代
• 担任美联储主席的艾伦.格林斯潘时代从有利 的供给冲击开始。
• 1986年,欧佩克成员打破了限制供给的协议。 • 这引起通货膨涨下降与失业减少。

[经济学]第35章通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡取舍第三十五章通货膨胀与失业之间的短期权衡,菲利普斯曲线,菲利普斯曲线运动:预期效应,通货膨胀与失业之间的短期权衡,菲利普斯曲线运动:供给冲击,降低通货膨胀成本,结论,顺序,执行摘要,菲利普斯曲线描述了通货膨胀与失业之间的负相关关系。

与此同时,降低失业率的政策导致了更高的通货膨胀率以及通货膨胀与失业之间的负相关。

只有在短期内,不利的供应冲击才会改变短期菲利普斯曲线。

当美联储收紧货币供应以降低通货膨胀时,它将使经济沿着短期菲利普斯曲线运行,这将导致暂时的高失业率。

反通胀的成本取决于通胀预期的下降速度。

一些经济学家认为,可信的低通胀承诺可以通过调整预期来降低反通胀成本。

通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡。

依次,通货膨胀和失业是人们经常关心的两个指标。

一些经济学家称通货膨胀率和失业率之和为社会的“痛苦指数”。

从长远来看,最低工资法、工会力量、效率工资和求职的有效性决定了失业率。

货币供应量的增长决定了通货膨胀率。

短期内情况完全不同。

当决策者使用财政或货币政策来扩大总需求时,他们可以在短期内扩大产出并降低失业率,但这会导致价格快速上涨。

当决策者采取紧缩的财政或货币政策时,通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡可以在短期内减少,但代价是暂时的低产出和高失业率。

在本章中,我们将进一步研究通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡。

1958年,英国经济学家菲利普斯首次发现了通货膨胀和失业之间的负相关关系(当时他用名义工资的变化来表示通货膨胀)。

两年后,美国经济学家萨缪尔森(Samuelson)和索洛(Solow)用美国数据显示了通胀和失业之间的负相关性。

此外,得出的结论是,这种相关性是由于低失业率和高总需求之间的相关性。

两人指出,菲利普斯曲线为决策者提供了一个可能的经济结果菜单。

通过改变货币或财政政策,决策者可以选择曲线上的任何一点,通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡,菲利普斯曲线和菲利普斯曲线为决策者提供了一个可能的经济结果菜单。

宏观经济学十大原理

宏观经济学十大原理

宏观经济学十大原理
宏观经济学十大原理是由经济学家尼高拉斯·格里高利·曼昆在他的著作《宏观经济学原理》中提出的。

这些原理是用来解释宏观经济学中的基本概念和现象的。

以下是宏观经济学十大原理的简要介绍:
1、人们面临权衡取舍的原理:人们在资源有限的情况下需要做出选择,因为资源的供给是有限的。

2、某种东西的成本是为了得到它所放弃的东西的价值:也被称为机会成本,指的是为了得到某种东西而放弃的其他可行选择的价值。

3、理性人考虑边际量:理性人在做决策时,会考虑每个额外单位的成本和收益。

4、人们会对激励作出反应:人们对激励做出反应,激励可以是奖励或惩罚,会影响人们的行为。

5、贸易可以使每个人的状况都变得更好:通过贸易,人们可以充分利用各自的比较优势,从而提高整体福利。

6、市场通常是组织经济活动的一种好方法:市场机制可以有效地分配资源和决定价格。

7、政府有时可以改善市场结果:政府可以通过干预市场来解决市场失灵的问题,例如调节外部性和提供公共物品。

8、一国的生活水平取决于它生产物品和服务的能力:一个国家的生活水平取决于它的生产能力,即它能够生产出多少物品和服务。

9、当政府发行过多货币时,物价上升:货币供给的增加会导致通货膨胀。

10、社会面临通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡取舍:政府在短期内面临通货膨胀和失业之间的权衡取舍,政策的选择会影响社会的整体福利。

If there is a sudden increase in the price level, the farmer doesn’t know if it is a change in overall prices or just the price of wheat. Typically, she will assume that it is a relative price increase and will therefore increase the production of wheat. Most suppliers will tend to make this mistake. To sum up, the notion that output deviates from its natural level when the price level deviates from the expected price level is captured by:

曼昆中级宏观经济学知识点整理 12 总供给与通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡

第十二章、总供给与通货膨胀和失业之间的短期权衡第一节、总供给的基本理论一、两种总供给模型1、粘性价格模型强调企业不能针对需求变动即刻调整他们索取的价格。

(1)价格粘性的原因①企业与顾客之间的长期合约决定;②一旦企业印制和分发它的产品目录或价格单,改变起来成本高昂;③可能是工资黏性的反映。

(2)企业的合意价格企业的合意价格p 取决于两个宏观经济变量:1)价格总体水平更高的价格水平意味着更高的企业成本。

因此,价格总体水平越高,企业对自己的产品想要收取的价格也越高。

2)总收入水平更高的收入水平提高了对企业产品的需求。

由于在更高的生产水平上边际成本增加,所以,需求越大,企业的合意价格也越高。

企业的合意价格是:p=P+ a(Y-Y(预期))其中a > 0,衡量企业的合意价格对总产出水平的反应有多大这个方程表明:当价格水平偏离预期的价格水平时,产出就偏离其自然水平;参数α表明产出对未预期到的价格水平变动作出的反应有多大,1/α是总供给曲线的斜率。

(3)表现形式与结论2、不完备信息模型(1)假定①市场出清,供需平衡;②每个供给者只生产一种产品和消费很多产品,因此无法观测到所有价格;③信息不完全,混淆了价格总水平变动与相对价格的变动,影响了供给决策,导致价格水平和产出在短期存在正相关关系。

(2)分析供给者进行生产决策时,并不知道价格水平,因此使用预期的价格水平P e。

当价格水平发生了未预期到的上升时,经济中所有供给者都观察到了自己所生产的产品价格的上升。

他们都理性但是却错误地推断,他们所生产的产品的相对价格上升了,因此生产更多商品。

不完备信息模型说明,当实际价格P超过P e,供给者提高他们的产出。

3、总结①两个总供给模型中的每个模型都用来解释短期总供给曲线向右上方倾斜的市场不完备性;②第一个模型假设一些产品的价格是黏性的;第二个模型假设关于价格的信息是不完备的。

第二节、通货膨胀、失业和菲利普斯曲线一、菲利普斯曲线的定义货币工资变动率与失业率之间有一种稳定的此消彼长的关系,失业率高则表明经济处于萧条阶段,这时工资与物价水平都较低,因而有低通货膨胀率。

19宏观经济学第十九章通货膨胀与失业

19宏观经济学第十九章通货膨胀与失业

19宏观经济学第十九章通货膨胀与失业通货膨胀与失业是宏观经济学中两个重要的概念。

通货膨胀是指货币供应量相对于货物和服务供应量的增长而导致物价普遍上涨的现象。

失业则是指劳动力市场上有能力和愿意工作的人,但找不到工作的状态。

本文将讨论通货膨胀与失业之间的关系以及对经济的影响。

首先,通货膨胀与失业之间存在一种称为菲利普斯曲线的相互关系。

菲利普斯曲线表明,通货膨胀率与失业率之间存在一种负相关关系。

也就是说,当通货膨胀率较高时,失业率相对较低;而当通货膨胀率较低时,失业率相对较高。

这是因为通货膨胀率的上升意味着经济繁荣,企业需要更多的劳动力来满足市场需求,从而降低了失业率。

然而,菲利普斯曲线并非是一个稳定的关系,而是受到许多其他因素的影响。

例如,供给冲击和需求冲击都可以短期内打破菲利普斯曲线。

供给冲击指的是由于自然灾害、战争等原因导致生产能力的减少,从而导致通货膨胀率的上升和失业率的增加。

需求冲击则是由于消费者支出的增加或减少而导致经济波动,进而影响通货膨胀率和失业率。

另外,通货膨胀和失业也可以相互影响。

通货膨胀会给企业带来不确定性,导致投资意愿下降,从而减少了对劳动力的需求,进而导致失业率的上升。

同时,失业率的上升也会导致社会支出的增加,从而进一步加剧通货膨胀的压力。

这种相互作用可以形成通货膨胀与失业之间的恶性循环,对经济产生不利影响。

通货膨胀和失业对经济的影响也有不同的观点。

传统的宏观经济理论认为,通货膨胀率的上升会导致失业率的下降,因为企业需要更多的劳动力来满足市场需求。

然而,新古典经济学家提出了供给侧经济学理论,认为高通货膨胀率会提高工资水平,从而减少企业的利润,进而抑制经济增长和就业机会的增加。

总的来说,通货膨胀与失业是宏观经济学中两个互相关联的现象。

尽管传统理论认为它们之间存在着负相关关系,但实际上受到许多其他因素的影响。

通货膨胀和失业之间的关系对经济发展具有重要影响,需要政府和央行采取适当的政策来平衡它们,以实现经济的稳定增长和就业机会的增加。

20.选举周期与经济波动:
一个经济某一年的菲利普斯曲线由下列的关系式确定:
= e - (u - 4%)。

其中 和 e分别代表实际和预期的通货膨胀率,u代表失业率。

预期通货膨胀率总是在上一年年底预先确定下来。

有两个政党:民主党和共和党。

两个政党对如何评价宏观经济表现持有不同的看法。

具体的,给定不同预期通货膨胀率的短期菲利普斯曲线时,两个政党各自选择的失业率不同。

如下表所示:
假定今年年底——在人们形成对下一年的预期之后——将进行选举。

民主党和共和党
有相同的机会(各为50%)获胜,并在以后若干年执政。

(1)根据菲利普斯曲线,这个经济的自然失业率是多少?
(2)根据菲利普斯曲线,说出在不同预期通胀率下,民主党和共和党各自选择的通货膨
经济在下一年中平均来说得到的实际通胀率各是多少?由此你认为哪个预期通货膨胀率是理性预期?(提示:理性的预期通胀率是人们根据已有信息可以得出的最佳
预期。


(4)假定人们选择了上述的理性预期。

如果是民主党当选,在当选后第一年,经济当中的实际通货膨胀率与失业率各是多少?如果是共和党当选呢?
(5)在当选后第二年,人们重新调整了自己的理性预期。

如果民主党当选,此时经济的通货膨胀率与失业率各是多少?如果是共和党当选呢?两党执政下的失业率会趋于一致吗?通货膨胀率呢?
(6)假设新当选的政府是民主党,而上一届政府也是民主党。

描述在选举后第一、二年失
业率的变化方向。

民主党连续执政是否消除了失业率的波动?
(7)如果经济当中有一个具有压倒优势的政党,使得人们预期它总能当选,而且它实际上总是当选。

这时,经济的波动是否能够被消除?
