Federal Reserve may need to raise
interest rates further. 8/24/06
Fed rate hopes lift regionAsian
markets rose Wednesday in anticipation that
the latest US economic data would persuade
the Federal Reserve to keep US interest rates
on hold. 8/17/2006
US rate pause

Most Asian bourses gained
ground Wednesday in
reaction to the US Federal
Reserve's decision to keep
interest rates unchanged.

Euro rate rise puts
heat on the Fed
… after the central banks of
the euro region and the
United Kingdom raised
interest rates to restrain
inflation after economic

Other Connections
• Macroeconomists study government fiscal
policy. Government major borrower (or
saver) in financial markets.
• Values of financial assets a major
determinants of decisions of consumers.
• Financial theory emphasizes diversified
portfolios whose performance depends on
aggregate performance of the economy.
Macroeconomic Indicators
• Production: GDP
– Important for Understanding Business Cycles
• Inflation: CPI
– Central to LT interest rates
• Interest Rates
– Comparing economics and returns in other
currencies.
Quantity Aggregates
• To understand the macroeconomy, we need to
measure it.
Chief measure of economy is the level of
production
• We need to combine the many goods produced or
consumed in an economy into one measure.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• GDP is the sum of the value of new, final
goods produced within the domestic borders
of an economy.
All goods sold in an economy
share a common unit of
measure: the price at which
they are sold.
Final goods are goods
sold to their end-users
Sum up
the value
of goods
Three Methods for Calculating GDP
1. Expenditure Method - The sum of the
domestic spending on final goods (less
domestic demand satisfied by imports).
2. Production Method - The value added
created in all the sectors of the economy.
3. Income Method – The Wage, Rent,
Interest and Profit Income generated by
the domestic economy.

GNP vs. GDP
• Net Factor Income [NFI] is income earned on
overseas work or investments minus income
generated domestically but paid to foreigners.
GDP GNP
Gross National Product Gross Domestic Product
= income earned by
domestic residents
= income created within
national borders.
GNP = GDP +NFI
Compare Macau and the
Philippines GDP or GNP
• Macau produces a lot of profits paid to
overseas owners of casinos.
• Philippines workers earn a lot of income
overseas.
• Which is larger Philippines’ GDP or
Philippines GNP?
• Does Macau have greater GDP or GNP?
Comparing GDP levels across time
• GDP measures the value of the goods produced
by an economy by using the market price of
each good to assign it a value.
• Problem: Prices of goods in terms of money are
changing overtime making comparisons in
overall value difficult.
– Bias: Money prices are growing over time as money
supply grows.
• Solution: Choose a Base Year’s prices as a fixed
yardstick of value for different goods.
Real GDP: Yt
• GDP aka Nominal GDP aka Current Dollar
GDP is the weighted sum of the number of
goods produced using their current prices
as the weight.
• Real GDP aka Constant Dollar GDP aka
GDP adjusted for inflation is the weighted
sum of the number of goods produces
using the Base Year prices as yardsticks.

Recessions and Expansions
• Business cycle positions are sometimes
characterized as booms and recessions.
• These names have many definitions
– An expansion occurs roughly when real GDP
is above the trend growth path (detrended
output is positive).
– A recession occurs roughly when real GDP is
below trend growth.
• In the USA, recessions are sometimes defined as
2 consecutive periods of negative growth.
Stock Market tends to co-move
positively with the business cycle.

Price Indices: Pt
• Two most commonly used price indices
are GDP Deflator and Consumer Price
Index (CPI)
• The GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal
GDP to Real GDP (multiplied by 100).

Deflation: inflation is negative and prices are
actually dropping.
Example

2005?
Adjusting for Inflation
• We can use some price index to “adjust for
inflation” effectively converting a variable
measured in money (nominal into a variable
measured in the prices of some reference
year.
• Real series measures the value of goods that
could have been purchased with that amount
of money in the reference year.
Converting Current Price Series into
Constant Price Series
• Series to be adjusted for inflation: Nt
• Contemporaneous price level (Pt) and
comparable price level in reference year (PRef)
• Series adjusted for inflation – (i.e. how much that
the goods that you could have bought with N in
year t would cost in year Ref.)

Housing Price: Hong Kong Island
• Compare the price of housing in HK
average price of an apartment on HK
Island with an area between 100m2
and
160m2
– in December 2005 : HK$112,012/m2
– in December 1982: HK$14,742/m2
• How much did an apartment cost back
then when expressed in today’s dollars?
Housing Price: Hong Kong
Island
• The Hong Kong CPI (2000=100) was
35.5 in December 1982 and 94.5 in
December 2005.
• Calculate:
• In real, terms, housing today is almost 3
times as expensive as in 1982!
Real Ref 94.5

Interest Rates
• What are some major interest rates in
financial markets? Be as specific as
possible.
Nominal and Real Interest Rates
• Nominal return represents how much
money you will receive after 1 year for
giving up 1 dollar of money today
• Real return represents how many goods
you can buy if you give up the opportunity
to buy 1 good today.
• Nominal interest rate is money interest
rate. Real interest rate is goods interest
rate.
• Imagine a 1 year loan [T =1]: The lender gives up
some goods to make a loan and will buy goods in the
future with the repayment.
• If the price of goods at time t is Pt, the foregone
current goods are
• The goods value of the future repayment is

Ex Ante Rate and the Fisher Effect
• Savings and investment decisions must be
made before future inflation is known so
they must be made on the basis of an ex
ante (predicted) real interest rate.
• Fisher Hypothesis: Ex ante real interest
rate is determined by forces in the
financial market. Money interest rate is
just the real ex ante rate plus the market’s
consensus forecast of inflation.

Learning Outcomes
• Students should be able to:
• Calculate simple real aggregates like real
GDP.
• Use price indices to calculate inflation
rates and real interest rates.
• Adjust nominal series for inflation.

Exec macro-economic indicators

  • 1. Macroeconomic Indicators What They Are & How to Use Them
  • 2. Monetary policy affects financial markets. Hang Seng slide continues Hong Kong's stocks dropped for a fourth time in five days after a US central banker said the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates further. 8/24/06 Fed rate hopes lift regionAsian markets rose Wednesday in anticipation that the latest US economic data would persuade the Federal Reserve to keep US interest rates on hold. 8/17/2006 US rate pause buoys Asia Most Asian bourses gained ground Wednesday in reaction to the US Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged. 8/10/2006 Euro rate rise puts heat on the Fed … after the central banks of the euro region and the United Kingdom raised interest rates to restrain inflation after economic growth accelerated. Stocks and bonds fell as investors bet borrowing costs are headed higher. 8/4/2006
  • 3. Other Connections • Macroeconomists study government fiscal policy. Government major borrower (or saver) in financial markets. • Values of financial assets a major determinants of decisions of consumers. • Financial theory emphasizes diversified portfolios whose performance depends on aggregate performance of the economy.
  • 4. Macroeconomic Indicators • Production: GDP – Important for Understanding Business Cycles • Inflation: CPI – Central to LT interest rates • Interest Rates – Comparing economics and returns in other currencies.
  • 5. Quantity Aggregates • To understand the macroeconomy, we need to measure it. Chief measure of economy is the level of production • We need to combine the many goods produced or consumed in an economy into one measure. + + + + =?
  • 6. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) • GDP is the sum of the value of new, final goods produced within the domestic borders of an economy. All goods sold in an economy share a common unit of measure: the price at which they are sold. Final goods are goods sold to their end-users Sum up the value of goods
  • 7. Three Methods for Calculating GDP 1. Expenditure Method - The sum of the domestic spending on final goods (less domestic demand satisfied by imports). 2. Production Method - The value added created in all the sectors of the economy. 3. Income Method – The Wage, Rent, Interest and Profit Income generated by the domestic economy.
  • 8. Expenditure Method C + Consumption Consumer durables, non- durables, services I + Investment Structures (incl. Residential), Equipment, and Inventory G + Government Consumption Government Spending on Goods, Services, and Salaries. X - EXports Goods & Services Shipped Abroad IM IMports Goods & Services from Abroad = GDP A + NX = (C + I + G) + (X – IM)
  • 9. Japanese Expenditure Fiscal Year 2003 (Billion Yen) Items Actual final consumption of households [C] 332,970.6 66.43% Government actual final consumption [G] 38,578.9 7.70% Gross domestic fixed capital formation [I] 120,238.8 23.99% Of which intangible fixed assets 10,810.2 2.16% Changes in inventories 270.0 0.05% Exports of goods and services [X] 60,375.7 12.04% (less) Imports of goods and services (51,180.5) 10.21% Gross domestic expenditure 501,253.5 100.00% (cf) Incomes from the rest of the world 12,787.4 (less) Income‚‚to the rest of the world 4,001.1 Gross national income 510,039.8
  • 10. GNP vs. GDP • Net Factor Income [NFI] is income earned on overseas work or investments minus income generated domestically but paid to foreigners. GDP GNP Gross National Product Gross Domestic Product = income earned by domestic residents = income created within national borders. GNP = GDP +NFI
  • 11. Compare Macau and the Philippines GDP or GNP • Macau produces a lot of profits paid to overseas owners of casinos. • Philippines workers earn a lot of income overseas. • Which is larger Philippines’ GDP or Philippines GNP? • Does Macau have greater GDP or GNP?
  • 12. Comparing GDP levels across time • GDP measures the value of the goods produced by an economy by using the market price of each good to assign it a value. • Problem: Prices of goods in terms of money are changing overtime making comparisons in overall value difficult. – Bias: Money prices are growing over time as money supply grows. • Solution: Choose a Base Year’s prices as a fixed yardstick of value for different goods.
  • 13. Real GDP: Yt • GDP aka Nominal GDP aka Current Dollar GDP is the weighted sum of the number of goods produced using their current prices as the weight. • Real GDP aka Constant Dollar GDP aka GDP adjusted for inflation is the weighted sum of the number of goods produces using the Base Year prices as yardsticks.
  • 14. Solved Problem Real GDP: 2005 (2004 Base Year) 2005 2004 P Q P Q Kitkat 8 150 6 135 M&Ms 10 150 4 135 Nominal GDP Real GDP
  • 15. Recessions and Expansions • Business cycle positions are sometimes characterized as booms and recessions. • These names have many definitions – An expansion occurs roughly when real GDP is above the trend growth path (detrended output is positive). – A recession occurs roughly when real GDP is below trend growth. • In the USA, recessions are sometimes defined as 2 consecutive periods of negative growth.
  • 16. Stock Market tends to co-move positively with the business cycle. 10 20 30 40 50 60 -.08 -.04 .00 .04 .08 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 Hang Seng Price/Dividend Ratio Detrended GDP
  • 17. Price Indices: Pt • Two most commonly used price indices are GDP Deflator and Consumer Price Index (CPI) • The GDP deflator is the ratio of nominal GDP to Real GDP (multiplied by 100). 100 100 Nominal GDP P GDP Deflator Real GDP GDP P Y = = × = ×
  • 18. Consumer Price Index • The CPI is the price of a representative market basket of goods relative to the price of that same basket during a benchmark/base year (multiplied by 100). 100t Cost of Market Basket in year t CPI Cost of Market Basket in Base year = ×
  • 19. Q: What is Inflation? A: The Growth Rate of Price Level 1 1 100%t t t P P Inflation Rate x P − − − = Inflation: prices are growing Disinflation: inflation is slowing down but still positive Deflation: inflation is negative and prices are actually dropping.
  • 20. Example • What is the inflation rate in Candyland in 2005?
  • 21. Adjusting for Inflation • We can use some price index to “adjust for inflation” effectively converting a variable measured in money (nominal into a variable measured in the prices of some reference year. • Real series measures the value of goods that could have been purchased with that amount of money in the reference year.
  • 22. Converting Current Price Series into Constant Price Series • Series to be adjusted for inflation: Nt • Contemporaneous price level (Pt) and comparable price level in reference year (PRef) • Series adjusted for inflation – (i.e. how much that the goods that you could have bought with N in year t would cost in year Ref.) RefRef$ t t t P N N P = ×
  • 23. Housing Price: Hong Kong Island • Compare the price of housing in HK average price of an apartment on HK Island with an area between 100m2 and 160m2 – in December 2005 : HK$112,012/m2 – in December 1982: HK$14,742/m2 • How much did an apartment cost back then when expressed in today’s dollars?
  • 24. Housing Price: Hong Kong Island • The Hong Kong CPI (2000=100) was 35.5 in December 1982 and 94.5 in December 2005. • Calculate: • In real, terms, housing today is almost 3 times as expensive as in 1982! Real Ref 94.5 14,742 39,242.79 35.5 t t t P N N P = × = =
  • 25. Example • Compare the box office take of “Shrek 2” and “Sound of Music” in 2004 dollars. Movie Year Box Office P Shrek 2 2004 436,471,036 189 Sound of Music 1965 163,214,286 32
  • 27. • What are some major interest rates in financial markets? Be as specific as possible.
  • 28. Nominal and Real Interest Rates • Nominal return represents how much money you will receive after 1 year for giving up 1 dollar of money today • Real return represents how many goods you can buy if you give up the opportunity to buy 1 good today. • Nominal interest rate is money interest rate. Real interest rate is goods interest rate.
  • 29. • Imagine a 1 year loan [T =1]: The lender gives up some goods to make a loan and will buy goods in the future with the repayment. • If the price of goods at time t is Pt, the foregone current goods are • The goods value of the future repayment is t t Principal P 1 t+1 t t Repayment i Principal + = t+1 t+1 Repayment P
  • 30. Real Interest Rate • The real interest rate on the loan is defined as the future goods received relative to current goods foregone 1 1 1 1 1 1 t+1 t+1 t+1 t t t t+1 t t t t t t t t Repayment Repayment P Principal r Principal P P P i r r i π π + + + ≡ = + + = → ≈ − +
  • 31. Ex Ante Rate and the Fisher Effect • Savings and investment decisions must be made before future inflation is known so they must be made on the basis of an ex ante (predicted) real interest rate. • Fisher Hypothesis: Ex ante real interest rate is determined by forces in the financial market. Money interest rate is just the real ex ante rate plus the market’s consensus forecast of inflation. 1 EA FORECAST t t ti r π += +
  • 32. Learning Outcomes • Students should be able to: • Calculate simple real aggregates like real GDP. • Use price indices to calculate inflation rates and real interest rates. • Adjust nominal series for inflation.
