John Greenwood authored an article entitled “Annual Economic Outlook 2013” which provided the following macroeconomic indices forecast for 2014 for seven (7) leading economies in the world. The speed at which developed economies can repair their balance sheets is most critical to the household and financial sectors of the US, Eurozone and UK economies. How effectively the developed economies can address the problems of government sector debt will also have a major impact on economic growth. Although
the nominal interest rate, the inflation rate, the real GDP growth and primary deficit remain constant for the next year, we can compute the projected next year end debt as a percentage of GDP by using the equation: dt+1=dt+i-πdt-grdt-st+1 In this case, dt is the public debt (as % of GDP) of 2011, which is 88%; i is the government interest rate 7% according to our assumption; π is the inflation rate, which was 2% if it is held constant constant in the next year; gr is -1%, the real GDP growth;
price monetary model of exchange rate determination and its variables. The paper tests the adequacy of the monetary model – (how good a job the model does in explaining movement in exchange rates). It also shows how GDP, interest rates, money supply and inflation influences the nominal exchange rates for the Eurozone, Japan and the UK against the USD. The aim of this research is to test if the sticky and flexible price monetary model is valid, which of the variables making up the model has the biggest
changes in GDP, savings, investment, real interest rates, and unemployment and compare to forecast for the next five years for Canada. Then I will discuss how government policies can influence economic growth in general in all economies. Next I will analyze how monetary policy could influence the long-run behavior of price levels, inflation rates, costs, and other real or nominal variables. I will describe how trade deficits or surpluses can influence the growth of productivity and GDP for all economies
The Changing Price Elasticity of Demand for Domestic Airline Travel Consumers make economic decisions as to what they buy based largely on price. More specifically, the change in the amount of a good purchased is often highly dependent on its change in price. That measure of responsiveness is defined as the price elasticity of demand. Mathematically, it is often expressed as: Ed = - percent change in quantity demanded / percent change in price, or -(dQ/Q)/(dP/P). The minus sign is often
1. Why does inflation make nominal GDP a poor measure of the increase in total production? -Nominal GDP is the value of final goods and services evaluated at current-year prices and are calculated by summing the current values of final goods and services. In the other hand, the real GDP is and services in the base year to calculate the value of goods and services in all other years. “Real GDP holds prices constant, which makes it a better measure than nominal GDP of changes in the production of
advise the latest current economic situation in Australia. There are many factors that we can discuss and mention in macroeconomics activities, however this report focus on more details about the recent movement GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, and commodity price. Importantly, the forecast about
of GDP in the U.S is expected to increase Since there is an expectation on the U.S GDP to increase, this means the increasing labor force in the market that indirectly increases the consumption and investments. May be the government’s spending potential is also increasing. These factors would create more demands in the loanable funds market. So the demand and supply in the loanable funds market determines the interest rates. The following exhibit 1a shows when demand is weak (D1) and the real interest
the country, while the fisher effect states that the expected real rate of return and rate of inflation can been seen in the nominal interest rate. The fisher effect and the international fisher effect are connected, but they are not the same. The international fisher effect is an expansion of the fisher effect, where the theory suggests that the changes in exchange rate would of a country is proportional to the difference in nominal interest rate between the two countries. So international fisher
