Week 1: Intro & Data of Macroeconomics

𝐆𝐃𝐏 = C + I + G + EX − IM

Value added = value of sales – value of the purchases of intermediate goods and services

Investment (I) = Private Investment + Public Investment


= Business fixed investment + Residential investment + (physical) Inventory investment

GNP = GDP + Net factor income earned abroad


= GDP + Income earned by Canadian outside of Canada – Income earned by foreigners in Canada.

Nominal GDP (NGDP) = Current Year Price × Current Year Quantity

Real GDP (RGDP) = Base Year Price × Current Year Quantity

RGDP
𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐃𝐏 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚 = Population

Cost of basket = Current Year Price × Base Year Quantity

CPI in year t = (Cost of basket in year t / Cost of basket in base year) × 100

GDP Deflator in year t = (NGDP in year t/RGDP in year t) × 100

Week 2: Unemployment and Inflation

Labour Force (LF) = # of employed + # of unemployed

Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) = labor force


adult population
× 100%

Unemployment Rate (ur) = # of unemployed


labor force
× 100%

Employment Rate (er) = # of employed


adult population
× 100%

Natural Unemployment (NRU) = Frictional Unemployment + Structural Unemployment

Actual Unemployment = Natural Unemployment + Cyclical Unemployment

NRU = Level of frictional unemployment+Level of structural unemployment


Labor force
× 100%

Inflation rate t, 𝝅𝒕 =
price level in year t−price level in year (t−1)
price level in year (t−1)
× 100%

Price index = NGDP


RGDP
× 100

RGDP = NGDP
Price Index
× 100

NGDP per capita = NGDP


Population

RGDP per capita = NGDP per capita


CPI
× 100

Fisher equation: Nominal interest rate (i) = Real interest rate (r) + Inflation Rate (𝜋𝑡 )

Week 3: Long-Run Economic Growth

Rule of 70 – #of years for a variable to double = 70


Annual Growth rate of variable

Output per worker (y) = Average product of labour (APL) = RGDP


# of workers (labor force)
= 𝑌𝐿

Per-worker production function: 𝑦 = 𝐴 × 𝑓 (𝑘, ℎ) = 𝐴𝑘𝛼 ℎ(1−𝛼)


(𝛼 = capital share of income; 1 − 𝛼 = labor share of income)
Positive MPk: marginal product of physical capital = 𝛼𝐴𝑘𝛼−1 ℎ1−𝛼
Positive MPh: marginal product of human capital = (1 − 𝛼)𝐴𝑘𝛼 ℎ−𝛼

Growth accounting equation using per-worker function:


∆𝑦 ∆𝐴 ∆𝐾 ∆ℎ
= + 𝛼( ) + (1 − 𝛼) ( )
𝑦 𝐴 𝐾 ℎ
∆𝐴
𝐴
= total factor productivity (TFP) growth
𝛼 = capital share of income
𝛼(∆𝐾
𝐾
) = contribution of capital to production function growth
(1 − 𝛼) = human capital share of income
(1 − 𝛼)(∆ℎ

) = contribution of human capital to production function growth

Week 4: Savings, Investment Spending and Financial System

SNational = Sprivate + Spublic = Y – C – G = I

Sprivate = [ Output (Y) – Taxes (T) + Transfers (TR) ] – Consumption (C) = Y – T + TR – C

Disposable income (YD) = Y – T + TR

SPublic = Government budget balance (GBB) = T – TR – G

NFI = X – IM = NX
= Purchase of foreign assets from foreigners – Sales of domestic assets to foreigners
= financial capital outflows – financial capital inflows

NPV of an investment = PV of the return on this investment – PV of the cost of this investment
PV = ∑nt=1[ payment at time t × (1 + i)−t ]
Coupon Payment (per period) = Face Value × Coupon rate (stated rate)

Week 5: Income and Expenditure

Disposable income (YD) = Y – T + TR = C + Sprivate

MPC = ∆ consumption
∆ disposable income
∆C
= ∆YD

∆Sprivate
MPS = ∆ Private Saving
∆ disposable income
= ∆YD

Income-Expenditure Equilibrium
Planned aggregate expenditure: AEplanned = C + Iplanned + G + X – IM
National income: Y = C + IActual + G + X – IM
IActual = Iplanned + Iunplanned
Y = AEplanned + Iunplanned

Multiplier (M) = ∆Y
∆AE0

Week 9: Money, Banking and the Central Banking System

Reserve ratio (rr) = Bank Reserves


deposit

Demand deposit ratio (DD) = 1


rr
× reserves

MS = Currency in circulation (CC) + Demand Deposits (DD)

MB (monetary base) = Currency in circulation + Bank reserves

Money multiplier = money supply


monetary base
= MS
MB

Week 10: Monetary Policy

Quantity Equation (long-run neutrality of money): M × V = P × Y


M: Money Supply; V: Velocity of money; P: Price level; Y:RGDP

Week 11: Open-Economy Macroeconomics (Part 1)

Current Account (CA) = Net exports of goods (merchandise trade balance) + Net exports of
services + Net factor income + Net international transfer payments

Financial Account (FA) = Exports of assets – Imports of assets


= Capital inflows – Capital outflows
= Net Capital Inflows

Balance of Payments (BOP) = CA + FA = 0 => CA = – FA
