ACTION LAG: In the context of economic policies, a part of the implementation lag involving the time it takes for appropriate policies to be launched once they have been agreed to by policy makers. Another part of the implementation lag is the decision lag. For fiscal policy, this involves appropriating funds to government agencies (for government spending) or changing the tax code (for taxes) For monetary policy, this involves the buying and selling government securities in the open market.

Lesson 6: Market Supply | Unit 2: Law of Supply Page: 6 of 19

Topic: Production Cost <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

An important question is: Why does the law of supply work?
  • The answer rests with production cost. In particular, the law of supply exists because of the law of increasing opportunity cost.
  • As we saw with production possibilities analysis, by increasing the production of a good, the opportunity cost of production increases.
  • Production cost increases as we increase production. To supply a larger quantity, producers need to cover these higher production costs with a higher price.

Expenditures on aggregate production by the four macroeconomic sectors that do not depend on income or production (especially national income or even gross domestic product). That is, changes in income do not generate changes in these expenditures. Each of the four aggregate expenditures--consumption, investment expenditures, government purchases, and net exports--have an autonomous component. Autonomous expenditures are affected by the ceteris paribus aggregate expenditures determinants and are measured by the intercept term of the aggregate expenditures line. The alternative to autonomous expenditures are induced expenditures, expenditures which do depend on income.

This isn't me! What am I?

A thousand years before metal coins were developed, clay tablet "checks" were used as money by the Babylonians.
"You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle. "
