Inflation “a sustained increase in the general price level” Household income : 10,000/yr Cost of Living: 10,000/yr Household income: 30,000/yr Cost of Living: 30,000/yr (focus on whole economy - not one particular industry – it’s possible for individual industry to experience decreasing prices when the economy is experiencing overall inflation)

Inflation Target - gov’t has set a target of 2% for inflation – this is deemed the best rate for a stable economy (higher than that and inflation can have negative effects; lower than that can mean a stagnant economy) As prices rise, the value of money falls – the same money can’t buy as much as it used to. The Bank of England is charged with the responsibility of controlling inflation through changes in the interest rate.

Measuring Inflation 1.Living Costs and Food Survey – find out what households spend their money on (average basket of goods – approx. 600) 2.Weights Determined – goods that we spend a higher proportion of income on get more importance in the basket 3.Prices Checked – from stores across the UK 4.Weights Applied – price changes multiplied by the weight of that item 5.Total CPI – weighted price changes are totalled to give concumer price inflation

A few definitions: Inflation – in increase in the general price level Deflation – a decrease in the general price level (negative inflation) Disinflation – a decrease in the rate of inflation (eg. Inflation was 2.5% last month and it is now 2%)

Other Measures of Inflation RPI – slightly different contents of basket – importantly, includes mortgage interest (CPI does not include mortgage interest payments – this would overstate changes in interest rates made by the MPC) PPI – Producer Price Index – costs faced by producers (a leading indicator of RPI)
