calculating inflation

Inflation is calculated through the retail price index or the consumer price index.

A basket of weighed goods is chosen. The basket of goods contains all the items that consumers in the economy in general spend a higher proportion of their income on. for example, consumers spend more on basic needs than on luxuries. therefore basic needs will form part of the basket of goods.

this basket of goods is then compared to that of the base year which is a year where price levels were normal and the economy was stable. the value of that base year is taken to be 100. 

if the retail price index is 110 then inflation has gone up by 10 %.

Consequences of inflation

- marginal propensity to save keeps falling and can even become negative. which means people save less and less and even start to dissave since saving is the stock of capital the stock of capital decreases and therefore decreasing investment and hence slows down growth.

- the value of money falls. people spend more money to buy the same amount of goods and services.

- as prices rise imports seem cheaper than local goods and consumers start buying imported goods more and exports seem more expensive to the countries buying exports from the country and hence they start buying less and since imports is greater than exports the value of the currency falls and hence imports become more expensive and this reduces net exports and may lead to a balance of payment deficit

- the cost of living is higher as prices are high.

- people become worse off. It creates instability in the economy as inflation disturbs the distribution of income and wealth. If some workers do not manage to get higher incomes during inflation they will become poorer while the rest of the labour force, which managed to get an income high enough in proportion to the rise in inflation, will have the same purchasing power as before.

- marginal propensity to consume rises as people are unwilling to save as the value of their money will keep on decreasing with time. they consume more and hence demand more and this will make goods and services even scarcer and may push up prices even more.

Inflation

What is inflation?

It is defined as a rise in the general price level of an economy in a given period of time, usually a year.

Causes of inflation :

- Cost push inflation

when cost of production goes up eg unemployment rate is low and price of labour goes up due to its scarcity producers will have to pay workers more to be able to retain them or else they will go work for someone else and hence to meet the costs of production produces will raise prices. 

other examples of rising costs :

when indirect taxes rises the cost of production rises. the more inelastic the demand the more the tax burden falls on the consumer. producers will raise prices in order to meet the costs and also to maximise the tax burden on the consumer and minimise its own tax burden

when cost of raw materials go up due to scarcity. 

when interest rates rise making capital more expensive.

- demand pull inflation

when demand rises and the economy is operating at full capacity and has no idle resources there will be excess demand. To meet the demand of the consumers they will have to raise their price as their product is scarce and those willing and able to pay higher prices will get the good.

there are a number of reasons to why demand can rise :

When a large proportion of the economy starts to dissave for example when a large number of people are retired and start to use up their savings demand rises

when direct tax rates fall consumers have more disposable income and demand more. 

when interest rates fall the marginal propensity to save decreases, that is, people are less willing to save and hence spend more.

when people expect a rise in wages they tend to spend more than they earn through credit. increasing demand.

when the size of the population increases at a faster rate than the increase in production.

when imports are more expensive than local products people demand more of local products.

Wake Up America.

If anyone dares throw the crap “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” at me I’ll really swear at you. Guns don’t kill people yeah but THEY MAKE IT EASIER TO KILL PEOPLE DONT THEY. THEY MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER TO KILL. Doesnt anyone see that?! If someone wants to kill someone it’s so easy to do it with a gun. Without a gun at least the one being attacked has a much better chance of surviving.

I am distraught today my idol, my very first YouTube crush was shot to death. SHOT. DIDN’T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO DEFEND HERSELF. DO YOU REALISE THIS? NO ONE SAW THE BULLET COMING NO ONE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE BULLET BECAUSE IT’S A BULLET. AND YOU WANT FREEDOM TO USE YOUR FUCKING GUNS WHEN THERE ARE DERANGED PSYCHOS OUT THERE WHO CAN JUST WALK OUT TO KILL ANYONE?

Today it’s her. Tomorrow it’ll be another young artist. Do you want people to be scared of joining the industry just because there are haters out there who have access to guns so easily?! Today I’m just a frand trying to make you see something. Please. See it. She is dead and I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do. Before she even picked Adam all of her frands knew that he was the one she’d pick. We all know the lyrics to all of the songs in the above all it is random album. We all watched her grow. We all grew with her. She was family and she’s dead. Dead. And the murderer didn’t even get punished because it was so much easier to just kill themselves instead of facing punishment. Do you think that’s fair?

Make a change America. Make a change. Please.

She is still a masterpiece and even today I’ll sing “my anthem” with her and tell her that I don’t just like it but I LOVE it. I love you Christina. I really do. You’re with the Lord now and you have all of us to keep you alive forever. You’re a legend. And you will be remembered. My kids will be singing your songs and spread your love. You will live through us and we will never ever ever let you die.

Rest in peace zeldaxlove64.

can we please all come together and spread this? please. I want justice for her.

Went stationery shopping and got a pencil case, milk coffee and mango scented candles, one flowery notebook, a tiny pink planner and an even tinier bloc note. Couldn't be happier and more inspired. Can't wait for my room to smell like coffee as I work at night.
