These slides are from our January 2014 revision workshops for unit 3 microeconomics. They focus on some of the arguments surrounding the possible introduction of a £7 per hour national minimum wage in the UK
Externalities are spill-over effects from production and consumption for which no appropriate compensation is paid
Externalities lie outside the initial market transaction / price
Externalities cause market failure if the price mechanism does not take account of the social costs and benefits of production and consumption

This week our students have had the opportunity to be part of real-time current events. With the media circus buzzing around Kony2012, Invisible Children, and the LRA – I created a (fairly) student-friendly powerpoint that objectively explains the background of Kony and the LRA. I am not getting into the hype surrounding supporters and opponents of Invisible Children, but have included them as well as other organizations at the end of the presentation to give students options regarding how to get involved.
No matter what people feel about Invisible Children, it’s obvious that they have created a successful awareness raising campaign. My students have had a lot of questions about the whole situation, so I created this powerpoint that I am now sharing with you.

4. Two Sector Circular Flow of Income Monetary Flow Households RealFlow Good and Services = Output (O) Expenditure on Goods and Services (E) Wages, Rent and Profits (Y) Factors of Production Firms E = O = Y 4
5. Four Sector Circular Flow of Income Leakages (L) Injections (J) Saving (S) Households Investments (I) Income Exports (X) Imports (M) Government Spending (G) Expenditure Taxes (T) Firms O = E = Y 5 Sum J = Sum L
6. Measuring National Income Income Method Output Method Households Good and Services Wages, Rent and Profits Expenditure on Goods and Services Factors of Production Firms Expenditure Method 6
11. GDP GDP = Gross Domestic Product = Total Value of all Spending in an Economy = The Total Value of all final Goods and Services in an Economy regardless of who owns the productive assets. GDP = C + I + G + (X – M)
12. GNP GNP = Gross National Product = Total Income Earned by a nation’s factors of production regardless of where the assets are located
13. Real GDP Real GDP = Nominal GDP adjusted for inflation
17. What is economic development? Economic Development is a multidimensional concept that includes poverty reduction, provision of education, health care and law and order, civil liberties and civic participation.
26. How can development be measured? Important Indicators of development Infant mortality rate Maternal mortality ratio Enrolment in each level of education Literacy Internet users per 1000
28. What is aggregate demand (AD)? Aggregate Demand is the aggregate (total) spending on goods and service in a period of time at a given price level.
29.
30. What are the components of AD? C = all household consumption on durables, non-durables and services I = firm’s replacement investment(spending on capital to maintain productivity) or induced investment to increase production G = all government spending X-M = spending by foreigners on exports less domestic spending on imports
53. The Business Cycle Fluctuations in the growth of real output, consisting of periods of expansion and contraction called business cycles or trade cycles.
75. Neoclassical (Free Market) LRAS LRAS perfectly inelastic at Full Employment Level of Output (Ymax) Potential Output = Quantity and Quality of FOPs not Price
87. Keynesian SR/LRAS Keynes argued that as there is nothing inherent in the economy to move the SR into the LR, then SRAS = LRAS NB In diagrams taking a Keynesian you may see the AS curve labeled Keynesian AS or simply LRAS as long as the diagram’s title makes clear which perspective is being adopted
100. The Neoclassical/Monetarist Challenge Argument that discretionary fiscal polices that try to stabilize the economy are so flawed that they actually cause instability Alternative policies Ensure steady supply of money Ensure price and wage flexibility Focus on supply-side policies to achieve economic growth
115. The Accelerator Theory & the Combined multiplier/accelerator effect Argues that small changes in GDP produces larger changes in investment spending. These fluctuations interact with the Multiplier effect to increase the momentum of business cycle.
137. Measuring Inflation The consumer price index (CPI) compares the value of a basket of goods and services in one year with a same basket in the base year.
145. LR Phillips Curve If expansionary policies adopted, inflation would increase to 4% or more. Real wages have fallen and firms hire additional labor.
146. LR Phillips Curve Unemployment is now below NRU at 4%. (b) Workers have fallen for the “money illusion” and slow to realize that real wages have fallen because inflation is actually over 4%.
147. LR Phillips Curve Unemployment is now below NRU at 4%. (b) Workers have fallen for the “money illusion” and slow to realize that real wages have fallen because inflation is actually over 4%.
148. LR Phillips Curve Once workers realize real wages have fallen they will demand at least a 4% pay rise. Real wages will return to previous levels and firm will fire workers. Unemployment has returned to (c)
149. LR Phillips Curve Any attempt to to increase AD will only result in temporary changes to unemployment but increasingly high rates of inflation
150. LR Phillips Curve Friedman argued that no trade off exists if governments do not use demand side policies.
