What is Inflation? Inflation is rising general level of prices Inflation reduces the “purchasing power” of money Examples: It takes $2 to buy what $1 bought in 1982 It takes $6 to buy what $1 bought in 1961 When inflation occurs, each dollar of income will buy fewer goods than before.

How is Inflation measured? The government tracks the prices of the same goods and services each year. This “market basket” is made up of about 300 commonly purchased goods The Inflation Rate -% change in prices in 1 year They also compare changes in prices to a given base year (usually 1982) Prices of subsequent years are then expressed as a percentage of the base year Examples: 2005 inflation rate was 3.4% U.S. prices have increase 98.3% since 1982 (base year). The inflation rate in Bolivia in 1985 was 50,000% This is called Hyperinflation A $25 meal today would cost $12,525 a year later

World Inflation Rates

Stagflation – rising costs, slow growth Stagflation – rising costs, slow growth. Supply shocks are usually to blame – energy, food, etc.

Is Inflation Good or Bad?

Identify which people are helped and which are hurt by unanticipated inflation? A man who lent out $500 to his friend in 1960 and is still waiting to be paid back. A tenant who is charged $850 rent each year. An elderly couple living off fixed retirement payments of $2000 a month. A man that borrowed $1,000 in 1995 and paid it back in 2013. A women who saved a paycheck from 1950 by putting it under her mattress HURT HELPED Hurt, helped, hurt, helped, hurt. HURT HELPED

Make a T-Chart Hurt by Inflation Helped by Inflation Lenders-People who lend money (at fixed interest rates) People with fixed incomes Savers Borrowers-People who borrow money A business where the price of the product increases faster than the price of resources Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) Some works have salaries that mirror inflation. They negotiated wages that rise with inflation

Interest Rates

Consumer Price Index (CPI) Measuring Inflation Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Consumer Price Index (CPI) The most commonly used measurement inflation for consumers is the Consumer Price Index Here is how it works: The base year is given an index of 100 To compare, each year is given an index # as well = Price of market basket in base year x 100 CPI Price of market basket 1997 Market Basket: Movie is $6 & Pizza is $14 Total = $20 (Index of Base Year = 100) 2009 Market Basket: Movie is $8 & Pizza is $17 Total = $25 (Index of ) 125 This means inflation increased 25% b/w ’97 & ‘09 Items that cost $100 in ’97 cost $125 in ‘09

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Problems with the CPI Substitution Bias- As prices increase for the fixed market basket, consumers buy less of these products and more substitutes that may not be part of the market basket. (Result: CPI may be higher than what consumers are really paying) New Products- The CPI market basket may not include the newest consumer products. (Result: CPI measures prices but not the increase in choices) Product Quality- The CPI ignores both improvements and decline in product quality. (Result: CPI may suggest that prices stay the same though the economic well being has improved significantly)

Types of Price Indices GDP Deflator measures the prices of all final goods and services produced (C+I+G+Xn). Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures prices of only the goods and services bought by consumers (C). Producer Price Index (PPI) measures prices of the entire output of U.S. producers. Includes goods and services bought by consumers, other producers, the government, and businesses, and products sold as exports.

CPI vs. GDP Deflator The GDP deflator measures the prices of all goods produced, whereas the CPI measures prices of only the goods and services bought by consumers. An increase in the price of goods bought by firms or the government will show up in the GDP deflator but not in the CPI. The GDP deflator includes only those goods and services produced domestically. Imported goods are not a part of GDP and therefore don’t show up in the GDP deflator. = Real GDP x 100 GDP Deflator Nominal GDP If the nominal GDP in ’09 was 25 and the real GDP (compared to a base year) was 20 how much is the GDP Deflator? 125
