Income elasticity (Ei): A measure of the response of a consumer to a change in the income of consumers has on the quantity consumed of a good, either more or less. Most goods are considered normal goods, also called superior goods. The income elasticity of demand for normal goods is positive since the amount demanded of normal goods rises when incomes rise. Oppositely, the income elasticity of demand for inferior goods is negative because the demand for these goods falls as incomes rise. It can be calculated with the following formula:…
At a peak, such as the middle peak shown in Figure 26.1, business activity has reached a temporary maximum. Here the economy is near or at full employment and the level of real output is at or very close to the economy’s capacity. The price level is likely to rise during this phase.…
The course is taught with an emphasis to balance economic theories and applications to real world issues. The section on microeconomics covers the theories of household behavior and firm behavior. The section on macroeconomics covers growth, business cycles and open economies. Real life examples are used to critique the theories and concepts.…

John Maynard Keynes and Adam Smith were two major, influential philosophers of economic history. Adam Smith, commonly known as the father of modern economics, influenced the growth of economic theory and the evolution of modern and market-based societies. John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas have profoundly affected modern macroeconomics and social liberalism. Each economist has similar ideas yet different opinions that distinguish them as economic leaders.…
Income elasticity is a way that economists measure the level that people act in response to changes in their income that may effect the consumer purchasing more or less of a product. This form of measurement helps to classify products as inferior or normal. A normal good can be described as a product that increases in demand at the same time people purchasing their product have an increase in their income. Even though both are increasing, income will not increase as fast as demand. Income elasticity of demand is positive at that point. Income elasticity of demand is measured less than one. An inferior good is a good that is consumed less due to an increase in the buyer’s income. For example, if the price of ramen noodles…
the change in consumption that results as a person's (or nation's) income increases or decreases.…
John Maynard Keynes is perhaps one of the most influential economists of our generation. Keynes, a British economist who lived from 1883 to 1946, changed the philosophy and practice of macroeconomics including the government economic policy. His theory, referred to as Keynesian Economics, was based on a circular flow of money, which refers to the idea that when spending increases in an economy, earnings also increase, which can lead to even more spending and earnings. Keynes believed that the government should intervene throughout the business cycle to increase spending and enable the economy to prosper to its full potential even during times of recession.…
In this paper for the fundamentals of macroeconomics, I will be discussing gross domestic product (GDP), real GDP, nominal GDP, the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, and the interest rate. Along with those terms, I will explain how…
Aggregate supply – measures all supply in the economy – remember there are two different theories for long run aggregate supply…
Macroeconomics is the study of economics from an overall point of view. Instead of looking so much at individual people and businesses and their economic decisions, macroeconomics deals with the overall pattern of the economy. To star with, we will look at two main groups of economists: the neo Classical Economists and the Keynesian Economists. Classical economists generally think that the market, on its own, will be able to adjust while Keynesian economists believe that the government must step in to solve problems.…
Macroeconomics is, "the part of economics concerned with the economy as a whole; with such major aggregates as the household, business, and government sectors; and with measures of the total economy" (McConnell & Brue, p.13). "Two of the most critical questions in macroeconomics are: (1) What determines the level of GDP, given a nation 's production capacity? (2) What causes real GDP to rise in one period and to fall in another?" (McConnell & Brue, p.72).…
Learning the system of how macroeconomics works is very important for many reasons. Such as: how to improve wealth and welfare for families and businesses, understand the unemployment rate, keep track of the less…
