Presentation macroeconomic
Inflation and unemployment affect China's economy in several ways:
1) Inflation is caused by excess money supply growth and a weak currency which increases domestic prices. Unemployment rises as demand for goods declines with higher prices.
2) Unemployment is worsened by a deflationary environment where companies don't hire, and by a mismatch between the skills of workers and the needs of employers.
3) Both inflation and unemployment negatively impact China's economy by lowering standards of living and damaging the domestic economy. Tighter monetary policies are needed to control money supply and inflation.

Quantitative Easing
QE has become an integral part of monetary policy in a number of countries over the last ten years. Essentially it has been part of a strategy of cheap money brought in by central banks as a policy response the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis amid fears of a return to deflationary depression experienced in the 1930s. Economic historians will surely debate the role of Quantitative Easing (QE) in staving off a depression for many years to come.
AS Macro Revision: Multiplier, Accelerator and Keynesian Economics
The document discusses key concepts in macroeconomics including the multiplier effect, accelerator effect, and Keynesian economics. It provides the following information:
1. The multiplier effect occurs when an initial change in aggregate demand leads to a multiplied change in GDP as each new round of spending generates income and further spending.
2. The accelerator effect describes how investment spending responds positively to changes in consumer demand as firms expand capacity to meet sustained changes in demand.
3. Keynesian economics holds that free markets are unstable and governments need to intervene through fiscal and monetary policy to stabilize output and employment over the business cycle.
AS Macroeconomics - Aspects of UK Fiscal Policy
The document discusses aspects of fiscal policy, including government spending, taxation, and borrowing. It provides examples of fiscal policies that could be used to influence aggregate demand and supply to achieve objectives like low inflation and high employment. There is debate around using austerity versus stimulus, as well as spending on infrastructure to boost productivity and attract investment.
AS Macro: Managing the Economy
One of the most significant roles of a modern government is to ensure that the economy performs to its full capacity.
The government has to consider the performance indicators like inflation, unemployment and economic growth and devise policies to achieve their aims. In this session we will consider the options that fall into the fiscal and monetary policy
portfolio.

AS Macro Supply Side Competitiveness
The document discusses supply-side competitiveness and growth in the UK economy. It identifies several key supply-side challenges facing the UK, including a persistent productivity gap, high youth unemployment, low investment and research spending. It also discusses some potential policies to boost long-run supply-side growth, such as improving labour supply and mobility through immigration, investing in skills and training to boost productivity, and improving infrastructure to reduce bottlenecks. The effectiveness of these policies depends on overcoming challenges such as political opposition, significant costs, and long timeframes to see results.
Living standards well_being
This document discusses various methods of measuring living standards and economic well-being beyond GDP per capita. It notes inaccuracies in population estimates that impact GDP calculations and differences in regional disposable incomes within countries. While GDP per capita is traditionally used, economic well-being is multi-dimensional and includes factors like health, inequality, sustainability, and happiness. Alternative indicators that take a broader view are now commonly used to assess living standards and well-being.
Economic Recovery in Europe
The document discusses the fragile economic recovery in Europe and calls for coordinated policy actions to strengthen it. It proposes a new "pact on reform and credit" with three elements: 1) countries like France and Italy intensify economic reforms, 2) the ECB provides more monetary stimulus once reforms start, and 3) Germany and other surplus countries boost domestic demand to support growth. This pact would reinforce reforms, stimulus efforts, and growth across the Eurozone to save the recovery.
AS Macro Revision Aspects of the Economic Cycle
This document provides an overview of the economic cycle and key stages including boom, slowdown, recession, and recovery. It defines recession as a period of at least six months of falling output and discusses the output gap. Negative output gaps occur when actual GDP is below potential GDP, resulting in underused resources and higher unemployment. Positive output gaps happen when resources are overutilized, posing inflationary pressures. The document also examines causes of recessions like external shocks or domestic policy changes and analyzes short-term effects like falling profits and rising unemployment as well as potential long-term hysteresis versus creative destruction.
Monetary policy
1. Monetary policy involves central banks using interest rates, money supply, and exchange rates to influence the economy and meet targets like inflation.
2. The Bank of England sets the official interest rate in the UK and uses other tools like quantitative easing to boost the money supply when rates are low.
3. Changes in interest rates impact borrowing costs, spending, investment, and economic growth, but there are limits to how much lower rates can go and their effectiveness in boosting demand.
Macro objectives
This document discusses macroeconomics and key macroeconomic policy objectives in the UK. The objectives of macroeconomic policy are to achieve price stability, economic growth, low unemployment, higher living standards, and a stable balance of payments. Additional objectives include balancing the budget, improving well-being, regional balance, access to public services, and environmental sustainability. Charts show actual and forecast UK economic indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, employment and earnings. Forecasts suggest continued growth with a low risk of recession. International data compares the shares of world GDP, with China now the largest economy based on purchasing power parity.
AS Macro Revision: Monetary Policy and Exchange Rates
The document provides an overview of monetary policy and interest rates. It discusses:
1. The different interest rates that exist in an economy and how central banks like the Bank of England use policy interest rates to regulate the economy.
2. How changes in interest rates can affect borrowing costs, consumer spending, business investment, and the housing market.
3. The factors considered by the Bank of England when setting policy interest rates, including inflation, GDP growth, and financial stability.
AS Macro Revision Aggregate Demand
1. Aggregate demand is the total demand for final goods and services in an economy over a given period of time. It is made up of consumption, investment, government spending, exports minus imports.
2. Changes in aggregate demand are key to understanding economic fluctuations like recessions and recoveries. A rise in aggregate demand leads to economic expansion while a fall causes contraction.
3. Shifts in aggregate demand are caused by changes in factors like fiscal policy, monetary policy, business and consumer confidence, and external economic conditions.
Low Interest Rates and the UK Economy

Trade Offs between Macro Objectives
The document discusses various macroeconomic policy objectives and potential trade-offs between them. It notes that achieving all objectives simultaneously is difficult due to conflicts that can arise. Examples of trade-offs include: reducing unemployment can cause higher inflation due to capacity constraints; rapid economic growth can lead to worsening inflation and hurt trade balances if incomes rise quickly. Supply-side policies and exchange rate tools can help address some trade-offs. Value judgments are involved in deciding which objectives to prioritize.
Macroeconomics individual assignment 2012
(1) Reflation is a fiscal or monetary policy designed to expand output and curb deflation through reducing taxes, changing the money supply, and lowering interest rates. It describes the initial phase of economic recovery after a contraction.
(2) Unemployment refers to able and willing workers unable to find jobs at the prevailing wage. The natural rate is structural and frictional unemployment that cannot be reduced by demand, representing long-run equilibrium.
(3) A rising unemployment rate has implications for fiscal, monetary, and subsidy policies in an economy.
AS Macro Revision: Economic Growth
The document discusses economic growth and its key drivers. It defines economic growth as a long-term expansion of a country's productive potential. The main drivers of growth include increasing capital stock, labor supply, productivity, and innovation. However, growth also faces limitations such as infrastructure gaps, export dependency, human capital problems, and rising inequality within countries. Rapid growth can increase a nation's income but also widen inequality, posing challenges for maintaining balanced and sustainable development.
AS Macro Revision: Migration and the Economy
This document provides an overview of labor migration and its economic impacts. It discusses:
1) The scale of global labor migration, with over 200 million international migrants worldwide.
2) The economic benefits of net inward migration, including increased skills, labor supply, productivity, and tax revenues.
3) How labor migration can increase both aggregate demand and long-run aggregate supply using AD-AS analysis.
4) Potential risks and costs of migration like welfare costs, job displacement of domestic workers, and rising housing costs.
5) The challenges of quantifying the overall effects, which depend on migrant skills, job placement, capital investment responses, and dynamic innovation impacts.
Aggregate Demand (AD)
This document discusses aggregate demand, which is the total planned spending on goods and services in an economy. It has four main components: consumer spending, investment spending, government spending, and net exports. Changes in aggregate demand are caused by factors like monetary policy, fiscal policy, business and consumer confidence, and external economic conditions. A rise in aggregate demand leads to increased output and employment as the economy expands along the aggregate demand curve, while a fall in aggregate demand causes contraction. The document examines how each of the components and various demand-side factors can influence aggregate demand in the UK economy.

AS Macro Revision: Macro Objectives and Conflicts
This document discusses possible conflicts that can arise between different macroeconomic objectives:
1. It is rare for a country to achieve full employment, price stability, economic growth, and a balanced external account simultaneously, as pursuing one objective can undermine others.
2. For example, policies to reduce unemployment can cause inflationary pressures if they stimulate demand too much when the economy is near capacity.
3. Rapid economic growth risks inflation and worsening the trade balance if domestic demand grows faster than supply.
4. The document examines these trade-offs and provides UK economic data to illustrate instances of conflicting macroeconomic objectives.
AS Macro Revision: Inflation and Deflation
This document provides an overview of inflation and deflation for an AS Macroeconomics course. It defines inflation and deflation, and how they are measured. It discusses demand-pull and cost-push inflation using AD-AS diagrams. It also examines the causes of inflation, the impact of high inflation, and policies to control inflation such as monetary and fiscal policy. Deflation is also discussed, including its potential economic consequences and policies to avoid it, using the example of Abenomics in Japan.

The us federal reserve2
The US Federal Reserve is the central bank of the US, established in 1913 and currently led by Ben Bernanke. To stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve has pumped $600 billion into the economy through quantitative easing, increasing excess reserves. This has helped raise stock prices for mining companies and the FTSE100 index. However, unemployment remains stuck at 9.6%, though fear is fading and consumer spending makes up 70% of GDP. The Federal Reserve hopes further actions will reduce unemployment and create jobs to build a stronger, more stable economy.

The document discusses a "Copernican revolution" in the study of economic growth, where new evidence and methods of analysis challenged existing theories. Specifically:
1. Long-term studies by Maddison showed capital investment, not total factor productivity (TFP) as theorized by Solow, was the main driver of economic growth.
2. Jorgenson developed methods accounting for quality changes in capital and labor, addressing flaws in Solow's growth accounting framework.
3. International organizations now recognize the importance of capital investment over TFP, abandoning the theory that TFP is the primary source of growth.

The Federal Reserve has taken actions like lowering interest rates to counter the effects of the financial crisis and recession. While growth signals have been positive recently, challenges around jobs, housing, debt, and other issues could still impact economic performance.
Macroeconomic analysis of USA
The document provides information on macroeconomic indicators of the US economy such as GDP, GDP growth rate, GDP per capita, GNP, inflation rate, and unemployment rate. It discusses that US GDP was $17.9 trillion in 2015, accounting for 28.95% of the global economy. The GDP per capita was $51,486 in 2015, which is 408% of the world's average. It also outlines the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tools including open market operations, reserve requirements, and discount rates. Overall, the summary provides a high-level overview of key macroeconomic statistics and monetary policies related to the US economy.
China's economy: slowing distorted and debt-addicted
China's economy is slowing. It's policy makers are having to contend with a massive debt-fuelled investment binge and the need to implement necessary reforms to rebalance the economy.
Senior Economist Marcus Wright goes behind the headlines with this stock take that sets out the main economic challenges facing China.
Fed fiscal monetary policy
This document provides an overview of monetary policy and the role of the Federal Reserve. It begins with sample questions about inflation, recessions, banks, and monetary policy. It then compares the Great Depression and Great Recession in terms of declines in GDP, unemployment, and world trade. The remainder discusses the Federal Reserve System and its tools of monetary policy. It asks questions about setting reserve rates, the Fed's role as lender of last resort, and why the Fed Chairman is influential. Finally, it prompts writing letters regarding monetary policy stances and recommended fiscal policy changes.
Concept of Business cycle -Causes and consequences
The business cycle is the time is takes the economy to go through all four phases of the cycle: expansion, peak, contraction, and trough.
OCR F585 June 2015
The document summarizes key topics that will be covered in an OCR Economics revision seminar, including the economic recovery in the UK and issues related to globalization. Specifically, it discusses the UK entering a recovery phase in 2013 with GDP growth of 0.6% and 2.4% annually. However, some economists are concerned about long-term unemployment remaining high and the employment rate continuing to fall. The document also reviews global trade trends and debates around regional integration versus globalization.

1) Global growth is expected to be 2.5% in 2015 and 2.7% in 2016, which is weak for a recovery period and low over a prolonged period.
2) Unfavorable economic fundamentals such as low productivity growth, aging populations, high debt levels, and slowing world trade contribute to weak global growth prospects.
3) Risks to the global outlook include adverse market reactions to anticipated Federal Reserve rate hikes and a sharper slowdown in China that could negatively impact other emerging markets.
Macroeconomics of China
China has the second largest economy and is the most populous country. It has experienced rapid economic growth averaging 10% over the last 30 years due to reforms allowing private sector growth and foreign investment. China uses fiscal and monetary policies like government spending on infrastructure, adjusting required reserve ratios, and managing the yuan's exchange rate to influence economic stability and growth. These allowed China to recover quickly from the 2008 financial crisis through measures such as lowering interest rates and enacting a $650 billion stimulus package. While still having some state-owned sectors, China has transitioned significantly from a centrally planned to more market-based economy.
Economic growth
This document discusses economic growth. It defines economic growth as increases in national output over time, often measured by GDP. Potential economic growth is the growth in an economy's productive potential, while actual economic growth is the extent to which an economy grows to its potential. The document outlines objectives to revise economic growth, understand how to generate it, explain its causes, and examine advantages and disadvantages. It then discusses generating growth through stimulating aggregate demand, and explains causes of growth like technological progress. Finally, it outlines advantages like improved living standards and tax revenue, and disadvantages like inequality and environmental damage.
Howard Nicholas - Global Economy Lecture - CREA June 2013
The document summarizes the real causes of the recent economic crisis and ongoing economic turmoil. It argues that the shift in global economic power away from advanced countries like the US towards developing countries like China is a key underlying cause. It also points to the long-term business cycle as economies move from periods of growth to stagnation. Finally, it asserts that misguided policies and data manipulation in advanced countries have exacerbated the problems.
Macroeconomics of china
The Power-point discusses the macroeconomics of china. It discusses the inflation, unemployment in china, fiscal and monetary policy of china and the foreign exchange rate mechanism of china. It also discusses what can be the endgame for china for changing in its policy.
AS Macro: The Effectiveness of UK Macro-Economic Policies
We have considered the three key areas of macroeconomic policy – monetary policy, fiscal policy and supply-side policies.
In the longest essay questions on data response papers examiners often ask students to consider how effective these are when they are used to manage the economy. How can we judge whether the performance of the economy is improving as a result of them? In this session we will remember how to assess macroeconomic performance, think about some of the issues with measuring growth,
and focus on ways to evaluate the effectiveness of different policies

How to Use Payment Vouchers in Odoo 18.
Every business, big or small, deals with outgoing payments. Whether it’s to suppliers for inventory, to employees for salaries, or to vendors for services rendered, keeping track of these expenses is crucial. This is where payment vouchers come in – the unsung heroes of the accounting world.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
Mutual Fund Taxation – How Mutual Funds Are Taxed
Divadhvik explains Mutual Fund Taxation clearly: Equity funds held over a year are taxed at 10% for gains over ₹1 lakh, while short-term gains are taxed at 15%. Debt funds held over three years are taxed at 20% post-indexation. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income slab.
