The index number representing the price level changes from 110 to 115 in one year and then from 115 to 120 the next year. Since the index number increases by five each year, is five inflation rate each year? Is the inflation rate the same each year? Explain your answer.
What is the difference between the price level and the tale of inflation?
A fixed-rate mortgage has the same interest rate over the life of the loan, whether the mortgage is for 15 or 30 years. By contrast, an adjustable-rate mortgage changes with market interest rates over the life of the mortgage. If inflation falls unexpectedly by 3, what would likely happen to a homeowner with an adjustable-rate mortgage?
The total price of purchasing a basket of goods in the United Kingdom over four years is: year 1=940, year 2=970, year 3=1000, and year 4=1070. Calculate two price indices, one using year 1 as the base year (set equal to 100) and the other using year 4 as the base year (set equal to 100). Then, calculate the inflation rate based on the first price index. If you had used the other price index, would you get a different inflation rate? If you are unsure, do the calculation and find out.
Use the AD/AS model to explain bow an inflationary gap occurs, beginning from the initial equilibrium in Figure 25.6.
Inflation rates, like most statistics, are imperfect measures. Can you identify some ways that the inflation rate for fruit does not perfectly capture the rising price of fruit?
Why does substitution bias arise if we calculate the inflation rate based on a fixed basket of goods?
What has been a typical range of inflation in the U.S. economy in the last decade or so?
Unemployment rates have been higher in many European countries in recent decades than in the United States. Is the main reason for this long-term difference in unemployment rates more likely to be cyclical unemployment or the natural rate of unemployment? Explain briefly.
