Back to the Future Michael Myers

I explain to my students using the SRPC = mirror SRAS metaphor. And I teach inflationary expectations with a basic anecdote about salaries. I ask students to envision the kind of life they could live with a $50,000 salary. What kind of house could they buy? What kind of car would they drive? Where would they shop? And (quite importantly, but oddly) what kinds of gifts could they afford to buy at Christmas? [apologies for political incorrectness, but I teach at a Catholic school - so safe bet to not offend] Now, imagine that inflation went wild over the course of that year you were making $50,000. In reality, you hardly notice it as it's happening. But inflation was an astonishing 10% instead of 2%. It's hard to move or switch cars, those prices are relatively fixed. But food prices and others might hurt over the course of the year. And what would happen to how much money you have left for Christmas presents come December? 

So, what's the point? Well, when you realize it's getting expensive to live - and you can't even afford the Christmas you thought you'd have. What do you do? You ask for a raise from your boss when your contract is winding down, explaining that it's just not possible in these conditions to live the way you need to live. And if inflation has been pretty constant across industries, you perhaps get that raise. But SRAS is going to shift inward as input costs rise (you making more money) and SRPC is shifting up, as everyone is starting to accept that this 10% inflation is just a new normal.

Chapter 24 – Measuring the Cost of Living Cost of Living – cost of maintaining a certain

standard of living The amount of money needed to sustain a

certain level of living, including basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare.

Chapter 24 – Measuring the Cost of Living Inflation – a general and sustained increase in

prices, causes money to hold less value Inflation rate – percentage change in the price

level from the previous period or base year. Normal, “healthy” rate is about 2-3% From 1914 until 2010, the average inflation

rate in United States was 3.38 percent

Chapter 24 – Measuring the Cost of Living Hyperinflation – rapid increase in prices,

inflation that is out of control Disinflation - is a decrease in the rate of

inflation A slowdown in the rate of increase of the

general price level of goods and services in a nation's gross domestic product over time.

Deflation – sustained drop in the price levels Stagflation – a combined rise in prices with a

slowdown in the economy

Causes of Inflation Quantity Theory – too much

money in the economy causes inflationIdeally, the money supply

should increase at the same rate of growth in GDP

Causes of Inflation Demand-Pull Theory – inflation

occurs when demand for goods and services exceeds existing supplies

Causes of Inflation Cost – Push Theory – inflation

occurs when producers raise prices in order to meet increasing costs of inputs

Causes of Inflation

Deflation

Consumer Price Index Consumer Price Index – an index used to measure

inflation; measures the overall cost of goods and services bought by the typical urban consumer

Computed each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), part of the Department of Labor

Consumer Price Index Market Basket – metaphorical object to

represent the collection of goods and services purchased by the typical urban consumer on a monthly basis Fix the basket of goods and services to

compare prices Derived of more than 200 sub-categories,

arranged into eight major groups

1. FOOD AND BEVERAGES (breakfast cereal, milk, coffee, chicken, wine, full service meals, snacks)

2. HOUSING (rent of primary residence, owners' equivalent rent, fuel oil, bedroom furniture)

3. APPAREL (men's shirts and sweaters, women's dresses, jewelry)

4. TRANSPORTATION (new vehicles, airline fares, gasoline, motor vehicle insurance)

5. MEDICAL CARE (prescription drugs and medical supplies, physicians' services, eyeglasses and eye care, hospital services)

6. RECREATION (televisions, toys, pets and pet products, sports equipment, admissions);

7. EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION (college tuition, postage, telephone services, computer software and accessories);

8. OTHER GOODS AND SERVICES (tobacco and smoking products, haircuts and other personal services, funeral expenses).

Consumer Price Index• Market Basket for Products

2012 – $4114.32

The typical basket of goods and services

This figure shows how the typical urban consumer divides spending among various categories of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics calls each percentage the “relative importance” of the category.

DETERMINING CONSUMER PRICE INDEX• CPI = Price of basket of goods and services in current year X 100

Price of basket in base year period

• Base Period is between 1982 – 1984• 1982/1984 – $1792.00

• Market Basket for Products• 2012 – $4114.32

• $4114.32 /1792 = 2.2959

• 2.2959 X100 = 229.59

• 2012 CPI = 229.59• Prices have inflated by 129.59% since 1982-1984

(base period to 2012)

DETERMINING INFLATION RATE

• Inflation rate = CPI Current Year – CPI Previous Year X 100 CPI Previous Year

2012 CPI – 229.592007 CPI – 207.34

• 229.59 – 207.34 = 22.25

• 22.25/207.34 = .1073

• .1073 X 100 = 10.73%

• Prices have inflated by 10.73% from 2007 to 2012

Problems with the Consumer Price Index (overstated prices)

1. Substitution bias - a bias in economics index numbers arising from tendency to purchase inexpensive substitutes for expensive items when prices change. Overstates inflation. Consumers will consume more of the now comparatively inexpensive good and

less of the now relatively more expensive good. For example, a selected good is bought by consumers and it is therefore

included in the CPI basket, but when an increase in price of that selected good occurs customers may buy a cheaper substitute, while the CPI basket does not change.

Problems with the Consumer Price Index

2. Introduction of new goods - CPI uses only a fixed basket of goods, the introduction of a new product cannot be reflected (done every 10 years) iPods vs. Walkman, digital media vs. CDs

3. Unmeasured quality change - improvements and depreciating goods are not immediately recognized by the BLS Fuel efficient cars

Purchasing Power and Inflation If you receive a 10% increase in pay from last year, but prices

have increased by 15%, what is the result? You are 5% worse off. Nominal wage increase of 10% Real wage decrease of 5% Your salary has to keep up with inflation or you are losing

purchasing power

Purchasing Power and Inflation Purchasing power – the number of

goods/services that can be purchased with a unit of currency.

Fixed Income – income that does not increase when prices go up

Indexed – when a dollar amount is automatically corrected for inflation

Cost of living allowance/adjustment (COLA) - benefit increases based on increases in the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Pension plans, Social Security, Salaries (see

website)

Anticipated vs. Unanticipated Inflation Anticipated Inflation – Expected inflation Allows people/businesses to make

accurate predictions of inflation and take steps to protect themselves from its effects.

Unanticipated Inflation – Unexpected inflation When inflation is volatile from year

to year it becomes difficult for individuals and businesses to correctly predict the rate of inflation in the near future.

Unanticipated inflation occurs when economic agents (i.e. people, businesses and governments) make errors in their inflation forecasts.

Interest rates are the gains you make from lending, or the cost you incur from borrowing.

Nominal Interest Rate – the interest as usually reported without a correction for the effects of inflation

Real Interest Rate – the interest rate corrected for the effects of inflation Real Interest Rate = Nominal Interest Rate – Inflation

CORRECTING ECONOMIC VARIABLES FOR EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Interest Rates and Inflation If you put $1000 into a savings account at 3% simple interest, you will have

$30 at the end of the first year. If inflation is 2%, how much have you gained in interest? You have experienced “real” gains of 1%. Nominally you gained $30, but you really only earned $10 Your money in the bank has to keep up with inflation or you are losing

purchasing power.

Savers Example 1:

An individual puts $100 in a fixed interest savings account. The individual could buys the basket of goods and services today and it would cost

$100. if we anticipate inflation to be 3%, the same basket of goods and services would cost

$103 in a year. At 3% interest for 1 year, they have earned they will have earned $3, bringing the

value to $103 and thus keeping up with inflation. If prices is unexpectedly and the inflation rate is 4%, then the unanticipated inflation

rate is 1%, and the saver loses purchasing power.

WHO LOSES FROM UNANTICIPATED INFLATION?

People living on Fixed Incomes Example:

A teacher survives on a fixed income from a prearranged contract. If we anticipate inflation to be 3%, then the teacher needs to earn at least 3% each

year to compensate for increase in cost-of-living. If prices rise unexpectedly and the inflation rate is 6%, then the unanticipated inflation

rate is 3%, and the teacher loses purchasing power, bringing down real wages.

WHO LOSES FROM UNANTICIPATED INFLATION?

Lenders Example:

Suppose Bank of America lends an individual $10,000 to be paid back in 2 years at 4% simple interest, or 800 dollars.

The bank will structure the loan to account for anticipated inflation. If inflation rises beyond what is structured in the loan, say 6% each year, then the

lender is being paid back with money that is less valuable relative to the rate of inflation.

WHO LOSES FROM UNANTICIPATED INFLATION?

People living on a flexible income (COLA) Example:

Someone living on Social Security (COLA is pegged to inflation) Someone that has a COLA built into their contract for wages. Someone that is retired and is living on a pension that accounts for inflation.

Borrowers (fixed interest rate): Example:

Someone borrows $275,000 to build a house and negotiates a 4.25% interest rate. Inflation rises and causes banks to build higher rates into current contracts . Now contracts are set at 6.25%

WHO GAINS/UNAFFECTED BY UNANTICIPATED INFLATION?

Hurt, Helped or Unaffected by Unanticipated Inflation

Hurt Helped/Unaffected

Savers on fixed interest rate accounts

People living on fixed incomes

Lenders offering fixed interest rate loans

Borrowers on fixed interest rate accounts

People with a COLA built into their income

Firms that made prearranged fixed-income/costs contracts

Scenario Gain/Hurt/Unaffected Explanation1. An individual puts $1000 into a

savings account at 2% simple interest. At the end of the first year inflation is 2%.

2. Banks lend billions of dollars at a fixed nominal interest rate of 5%. Inflation unexpectedly increases from 2% to 4%.

3. Producers negotiate contracts without a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). Unanticipated inflation occurs and consumer prices (as measured by CPI) rise while wages paid to remain fixed.

4. You purchase a $1,000 one-year simple interest Certificate of Deposit (CD) from the bank that pays 4% nominal interest. Inflation increases unexpectedly from 2% to 5%.

5. An individual is living on a part-time minimum wage job. They are what our society would call “working poor” and as a result of their paycheck-to-paycheck existence have no form of financial investments. Inflation rises at a normal rate of 2-3% for the year. The minimum wage does not increase, nor does the individual get a raise.

Unaffected Their money in the bank kept up with inflation

Hurt

The banks set their loans based on anticipated inflation of 2%, at 4%, they didn’t earn as much as they had anticipated

Gain Producers gain, because they do not have to adjust workers salaries, while making more money, workers are hurt because prices rose, but their pay didn’t

Hurt Your money in the bank did not keep up with inflation

Hurt Working poor are hurt because prices rose, but their pay didn’t

Scenario Gain/Hurt/Unaffected Explanation6. A high-income earner has cash on

hand, but they also have much of their wealth in financial assets. The higher-income earner holds assets that appreciate with inflation. Inflation rises at a normal rate of 2-3%

7. A teacher is living on a fixed-income that is pre-negotiated by their employer. Prices rise quickly and the economy experiences unanticipated inflation of 6%.

8. Most economists agree that the CPI is overstated for Social security recipients. In other words, SS recipients do not buy the same goods/services that the average urban consumer buys. However, their income adjusts to inflation through the use of cost of living adjustments (COLA). Inflation rises quickly this year at a rate of 5%

9. An individual borrows $275,000 to build a house and negotiates a 4.25% interest rate. Inflation rises and causes banks to build higher rates into current contracts. Now contracts are set at 6.25%

10. Suppose Bank of America provides a loan of $10,000 to be paid back in 2 years at 2% simple interest, or 400 dollars. The bank will structure the loan to account for anticipated inflation. Inflation rises beyond what is anticipated, say 5% this year.

Unaffected Their money in the bank keeps up with inflation

Hurt Teachers on a fixed income are hurt because their pay does not keep up with inflation

Gain Their pay increases and becomes more valuable relative to the things they buy, as inflation rises

Unaffected/Gain

They are paying back a loan with less valuable dollars

Hurt They are being paid back with less valuable dollars

Step 3: Compute the cost of the basket of goods in each year

200820092010

($1 per hot dog × 4 hot dogs) + ($2 per hamburger × 2 hamburgers) = $8 per basket($2 per hot dog × 4 hot dogs) + ($3 per hamburger × 2 hamburgers) = $14 per basket($3 per hot dog × 4 hot dogs) + ($4 per hamburger × 2 hamburgers) = $20 per basket

Step 4: Choose one year as a base year (2008) and compute the CPI in each year

200820092010

($8 / $8) × 100 = 100($14 / $8) × 100 = 175($20 / $8) × 100 = 250

Step 5: Use the consumer price index to compute the inflation rate from previous year
