Gross Domestic ProductThe total money value of all final goods and services produced in an economy in one yearReal GDP: Adjusted for inflationNominal GDP: not adjusted for inflation
Boom and Bust Cycle (Business cycle)In developed economies, we often see a cyclical pattern to growth in real GDP, following four phases: boom, recession, trough, and recoveryBOOMBOOMRECESSIONRECOVERYTROUGHDEPRESSION

Demand-Side Policy: FiscalFiscal Policy: The use of government spending and taxation to influence AD, raise revnue, redistibute income and influence consumption patterns. Problems: Time lags, financial inflexibility, budget deficits, and crowding out
Demand-Side Policy: MonetaryMonetary Policy: the use of the rate of interest predominantly to influence AD (the money supply control can also be used)Problems: Investment is interest inelastic, one policy fits all, disintermediation
Supply-side PoliciesAim: To increase economys productive potential Increasing labour mobilityIncreasing incentives/decreasing disincentives to workIncreasing the productivity of labourIncreasing investment, innovation and enterprise

Cost-Push InflationCost-Push Inflation: When there is an increase in the costs of factors of production, such as wage increases or increases in oil prices, then firms costs are pushed upwards, the SRAS curve shifts from SRAS1 to SRAS2, and the average price level rises from P1 to P2.SRAS2         SRAS1P2P1Average Price LevelY2       Y1GDP
Demand-pull InflationAn increase in AD, caused by a sustained increase in any of the components of AD will shift the AD curve from AD1 to AD2 and the average price level will rise from P1 to P2. SRAS1P2P1Average Price Level       AD2AD1Y1       Y2GDP
Inflation/Unemployment Trade-off Stagflation: with a standard se tof AD and AS curves, there is an inverse relationship with inflation and unemployment. Keynesian theorist, increase AD to reduce unemploymentCaused -> Stagflation
StagflationStagflation: A persistent high inflation combined with a high unemployment and stagnant demand in a countries economySRAS2SRAS1P2P1Average Price LevelAD1Y2       Y1GDP
Viewpoints: MonetaristBeliefs:Markets workEconomies tend towards full employmentInflation is caused by excessive money supply growthGovernments should intervene really only to control inflation by controlling money supply growth
Monetarist AS curveLRASPrice levelSRASAD will be purely inflationary in the long run, and so policy should focus on increasing ASGDP
Viewpoint: KeynesianBeliefs: Markets are slow to adjust (time lags)An economy can be in equilibrium below full employmentGovernments should and can effectively intervene to stabilize an economyFiscal is more effective than monetary policy
Keynesian AS curveLRASPrice levelSRASAD will increase output/income without increasing inflation as long as the economy is below full employment.GDP
