Economic Variable Impact on Economic Well-Being
Balance of payments Negative balance of payments means government must borrow –
increased pressure for higher taxes
Exchange rates Value of national currents. Low exchanges rates help exports; high
exchange rates are better for purchasing foreign goods.
Disposable income An individual’s income after paying taxes – available for spending and
saving. Higher is better.
GDP or GDP per capita The measure of a nation’s output, or output per person. Higher is better.
Inflation Rate of price increases. Lower is better, but too lows means deflation.
Interest rates Affect customer spending – especially for durables and business
investment. Lower is better, but too low may fuel deflation.
Savings rate Affects interest rates and consumer spending. Higher is better, but too
high means insufficient consumption.
Unemployment Population out of work. Lower is better, but too low and labor costs
increase.
