1. Macroeconomic policy aims to regulate total demand and supply in an economy to achieve full employment and price stability.
2. When macroeconomic policy is implemented, it affects all types of economic agents and causes total output, employment, investment and prices to fluctuate in the short run.
3. In the long run, macroeconomic policy aims to achieve steady economic growth and price stability through managing aggregate demand and supply.
1. This document discusses key concepts related to aggregate demand and supply in an economy.
2. It notes that aggregate demand is determined by spending on consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports. Changes in these components influence total output and employment in the economy.
3. The document also discusses how aggregate supply is influenced by factors of production and technology. It explains the relationship between aggregate demand, aggregate supply, inflation, and economic growth.
1. Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods, services and assets in an economy over a period of time. Its opposite phenomenon is deflation.
2. The main index used to measure inflation in Mongolia is the consumer price index, as calculated by the National Statistics Office.
3. Factors that typically contribute to inflation include increases in money supply, aggregate demand, costs of production, and import prices. Sustained high inflation is harmful to the economy.
1. Keynes' theory argues that aggregate demand and total spending in the economy can be increased through government intervention such as increasing government spending and reducing taxes. This will help stimulate the overall economy and reduce unemployment.
2. According to Keynes, unemployment is caused by insufficient aggregate demand in the economy rather than high wages.
3. Keynes' theory contends that as long as aggregate demand and total spending in the economy are below potential output levels, monetary policies alone will not be enough to reduce unemployment.
The document discusses monetary policy and its goals of stabilizing prices and supporting economic growth. It notes that monetary policy should aim to influence aggregate demand in the economy through tools like open market operations, required reserves, and interest rates. Maintaining price stability is important for economic activity, while excessive money supply growth can fuel inflation. The central bank uses monetary policy to achieve macroeconomic stability.
1. The document discusses concepts related to employment including the components of total employment and types of unemployment.
2. It notes that full employment is achieved when the labor force is fully utilized in productive activities. Unemployment occurs when people are able and willing to work but cannot find suitable jobs.
3. Frictional unemployment refers to the natural level of unemployment that occurs during job transitions as people move between jobs or enter/exit the labor force.
This document summarizes key points about international trade and trade policies:
1. International trade impacts countries' economic development and specialization based on comparative advantages.
2. Trade barriers and quotas impact supply and demand dynamics between countries.
3. Factors like imports, exports, and relative prices affect domestic production and consumption.
1. This document discusses key concepts related to commercial banking systems. It covers topics like types of bank deposits, the money multiplier effect, required reserve ratios, and the relationship between central banks and commercial banks.
2. The main points are that commercial banks can lend more than the deposits they hold due to reserve requirements, and that the money supply expands through the money multiplier effect as commercial banks make loans.
3. Commercial bank lending and the money multiplier work together to increase the money supply, while central banks regulate reserve ratios and interest rates to influence economic activity.
1. Economic growth is driven by increases in productivity from technological improvements and capital investment.
2. Factors like workforce skills and education levels, investment in infrastructure and technology, and public policy can influence economic growth rates.
3. Sustained, balanced economic growth is important for raising living standards and funding social programs over the long run.
1. The document discusses currency exchange rates and balance of payments. It provides 14 points on factors that influence exchange rates and balance of payments, such as export/import levels, monetary policies, and international agreements.
2. It then provides 7 multiple choice questions as a test of understanding. The questions cover concepts like how exchange rate changes affect trade balances and purchasing power.
3. In summary, the document outlines key concepts in international finance through discussion points and a short test to evaluate comprehension of currency exchange rates and balance of payments.
