Three theories of why inflation happens Quantity Theory Too much money in the economony causes inflation to stop it increase the money supply at the same rate the economy grows. Cost Push Theory When Producers raise prices to meet increased costs. This can cause wage spiral. Wages increase lead to higher prices and thus higher wages. Demand Pull Theory inflation occurs when demand for a good exceeds supply

What does inflation affect? Purchasing Power high inflation would mean the dollar you have cannot buy as much. Interest Rates When inflation rate exceeds a banks interest rate you are actually losing money. Income If your income does not increase each year with the inflation rate each year you lose money.

To determine whether there is inflation the Consumer Price Index, or CPI is used. CPI: The price of an average basket of goods compared with the same basket one month or year earlier. A high increase in CPI indicates higher inflation.

(b) the demand-pull theory. (c) the quantum theory. (d) the cost-push theory. 3. Explain how inflation effects us personally. 4. How is CPI determined?
