Topic 8: Economic Concepts Supply and demand Fiscal policy Monetary policy Economic indicators Business cycles Inflation, deflation and stagflation Yield curve

Topic 8: Supply and Demand Supply – The amount of a good or service that producers are willing to sell Normally, the higher the price of the item, the greater will be the quantity supplied Demand – The amount of a good or service that buyers are willing to purchase Normally, the lower the price of the item, the greater will be the quantity demanded

Topic 8: Fiscal Policy Government actions by Congress and the President to influence the level of economic activity – Restrict the money supply (tighten) Decrease government spending Increase taxes – Stimulate the money supply (loosen) Increase government spending Decrease taxes

Topic 8: Monetary Policy Federal Reserve actions to increase or decrease the size of the nation’s money supply – Tighten money supply Raise reserve requirement Raise discount rate Sell government securities – Loosen money supply Lower reserve requirement Lower discount rate Buy government securities

Topic 8: Economic Indicators – Leading Indicators Tend to give early signals of the future direction of the economy – The average weekly hours of manufacturing production workers – The average weekly new claims for unemployment compensation – Building permits for new private housing units – Stock prices – Size of the money supply

Topic 8: Business Cycles The business cycle is the name economists give to the expansion and contraction of economic activity – The beginning is said to be a trough of the wave, and expansion continues until economic activity reaches a peak and economic activity turns down

Topic 8: Inflation, Deflation and Stagflation Inflation – Increase in the general level of prices Deflation – Decrease in the general level of prices Stagflation – Prices will be increasing at a high inflation rate, coupled with an economic recession or high unemployment

Topic 8: Yield Curve A diagram that plots yield to maturity against term to maturity for similar securities – Usually, the yield curve is upward-sloping, indicating higher interest rates for longer time until maturity of a security

Topic 8: Yield Curve Three theories – Market Segmentation theory Investors have preferred habitat and short-term securities are not good substitutes for long-term securities – Expectations theory Return on long-term security equals accumulated return on multiple short-term securities – Liquidity Preference theory Long-term securities are less liquid and investors demand a premium for illiquidity
