MacroeconomicsThe course is divided in three parts: Short -run / Medium-run / Long-run
Short - run: IS / LM ADIS: Y = C + I + G
C = c0 + c1 YD = c0 + c1 (Y - T) I = I0 + b1 Y - b2 i
Y = {spending multiplier} x {autonomous spending}
LM: (M/P)d = (M/P)s
(M/P)d = L(Y,i)Ms = [1/(c + r(1-c))]H= {money multiplier} x {monetary base}
Medium - run: AD/ASIS/LM ADPS/WS AS
PS: P = (1+ μ)(W/A)WS: W= Pe Ae f(u,z)
In medium - run, Pe = P (W/P)WS = (W/P)PS = A / (1+ μ) Natural/Structural/Equilibrium Rate of Unemployment (un )“Full - employment” rate of output (YFE) The Green Shaft
SRAS and MRAS
When AD or AS shift: MR equilibrium SR equilibrium P new MR equilibrium
Long - run: GrowthSteady state: s(Y/AN) = (δ + gN + gA )(K/AN)
For simple Cobb-Douglas function: Y = Kα (AN)1-α Y/AN = {s/((δ + gN + gA )}α/(1-α)
Golden - rule saving rate = α
Productivity and equilibrium rate of unemployment: Ae = A only in long - run “Natural rate” decreases with unexpected increase in A
