2 Outline Introduction 1 Introduction 2 of the analysis by perfectly competitive firms Block 2: Supply of labour by households Blocks 1 and 2 combined with expectation formation hypothesis gives AS curv Block 3: The demand for money Block 3 and IS gives AD curve 3 in macroeconomics Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 2/51
3 Aims of this lecture To study the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy. To introduce the most important past and current schools of thought. To refresh and extend first-year macro knowledge. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 3/51
4 Some crucial building blocks First look at the labour market: Demand for labour by firms. Supply of labour by households. Demand for money. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 4/51
5 Technology Introduction Production function: Y = F(N, K), K is the aggregate capital stock (fixed in the short run). Y is aggregate production. N is aggregate employment. Properties: F N > 0, F K > 0 F NN < 0, F KK < 0 Constant returns to scale. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 6/51
6 Profit maximization Introduction Short-run profit: Π PY WN Π is nominal profit (revenue minus variable cost). P is the price level. W is the nominal wage. Objective of the firm: choose N to maximize short-run profit: max {N} Π PY WN = PF(N, K) WN Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 7/51
7 Profit maximization Introduction First-order condition (for an extremum): dπ dn = 0: PF N(N, K) W = 0, F(N, K) where F N N is the marginal product of labour, i.e. the partial derivative of F(N, K) with respect to N. See Figure 1.1 for the graphical derivation. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 8/51

9 Property of the labour demand function Using the Implicit Function Theorem First-order condition is really an implicit function relating labour demand (N D ) to the real wage (W/P) and the capital stock ( K): PF N (N D, K) = W F N (N D, K) = W/P } {{ } real wage First-year trick comes in handy: total differentiation of the expression to see how N D, W/P, and K are related: df N (N D, K) = d(w/p) F NN dn D + F NK d K = d(w/p) F NN dn D = d(w/p) F NK d K dn D = (F NK /F NN )d K + (1/F NN ) d(w/p) Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 10/51
10 Property of the labour demand function In a general form we can thus write the implicit function: N D = N D (W/P, K ) + with N D W/P 1/F NN < 0 and N D K F NK /F NN > 0 ( cooperative factors ). See Figure 1.2 for the effect of an increase in K. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 11/51

12 Preferences Introduction Utility function of the household: U U(C,1 N S ) C is household consumption. N S is household supply of labour (1 is the time endowment so 1 N S is leisure). U is (an index of) household utility. Properties: U C > 0, U 1 N > 0 U CC < 0, U 1 N,1 N < 0 Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 14/51
13 Constrained utility maximization Budget constraint: P e C = WN S P e is expected price level (point expectation). Labour income only source of income. Objective of the household is to choose C and N S to maximize utility: max U U(C,1 N S ) subject to P e C = WN S. {C,N S } Simplified treatment (substitute budget constraint into objective function): maxu U [ (W/P e )N S, 1 N S] {N S } Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 15/51
14 Constrained utility maximization First-order condition for an extremum: du dn S = 0 : (W/P e )U } {{ C } 1 + [ 1 U 1 N ] = 0. } {{ } 2 Term 1 features U C, the marginal utility of consumption, which measures the benefit of an extra unit of consumption. Term 2: features U 1 N, the marginal utility of leisure, which measures the cost of producing an extra unit of labour supply. Private cost-benefit analysis determines optimal C and N S. See Figures 1.3 and 1.4 for a graphical illustration. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 16/51

17 Summary on labour supply Mathematically we summarize with general form: W P e = g(ns ), g N 0 SE IE, Equivalently: W P = P e P g(ns ) Supply side of the model consists of the labour market plus the production function (link to the supply side of the goods market hence the name). To complete the supply side model we must say something about expectations, i.e. about P e. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 19/51
18 Expectation Formation Hypotheses AEH: Adaptive expectations hypothesis: Pt+1 e = P t + (1 λ) [ Pt e ] P } {{ } t 0 < λ < 1 (a) P e t+1 = λ [P t P e t ] (AEH) (a): expectational error. P e t is given in the short run but it adjusts slowly over time. If P e t > P t then expectations are adjusted downwards and vice versa if P e t < P t PFH: Perfect foresight hypothesis: P e = P (PFH) Later in this course we will discuss the rational expectations hypothesis (REH) which is the extension of PFH to the stochastic economy. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 20/51
19 Aggregate Supply Curves Four combinations possible: Market clearing due to flexible wage and either (case 1) AEH or (case 2) PFH. Market disequilibrium due to fixed wage and either (case 3) AEH or (case 4) PFH. Key feature: aggregate supply curve (AS) depends very much on whether we assume AEH or PFH See Figure 1.5 for a graphical derivation of AS under both AEH and PFH. PFH plus clearing labour market gives vertical AS curve (Classical). Modigliani (1944): even if PFH is used, AS may have an upward sloping segment if the nominal wage is downward inflexible see Figure 1.6. Conclusion: PFH itself is not enough to get Classical conclusions (Same with REH.) Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 21/51

22 Test your understanding **** Self Test **** Derive the AS curve by graphical means under the assumption that the nominal wage cannot fall below W 0. Assume that the labour market is initially in equilibrium and that the initial price level is P 0. **** Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 24/51
23 Theory of money Introduction Keynes claimed that his theory of money is very different from the Classical theory. Two motives for holding money in Keynes theory: Transactions motive. ( ) D M m D T = k(y ), k Y > 0 P Speculative motive. m D S T ( ) D M = l(r), l R < 0 P S Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 26/51
24 Money demand function Figure 1.7 gives an illustration of a liquidity preference function. A liquidity trap is a distinct possibility: the interest rate is so low (R = R MIN ) that people are indifferent between money and bonds. Additional money is willingly absorbed without the need to lower the interest rate. If R = R MAX then people hold no money for speculative purposes. Bond prices are very low and are expected to rise. Hence capital gains on bonds are expected. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 27/51
25 Figure 1.7: The liquidity preference function R R MAX l(y,r) R MIN l(y,r) Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 28/51
26 Money market model Introduction Money market model: m D m D S + m D T = k(y ) + l(r) = L(Y, R) m S = M/P m D = m S M is the exogenous nominal money supply (under control of the monetary authority). m is real money (nominal money in terms of price level). Real demand equals real supply of money. The LM curve summarizes money market equilibrium. See Figure 1.8 for the derivation. As we shall see, the slope of the LM curve is an important source of disagreement among the different schools of thought in macroeconomics. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 29/51

28 The IS-LM Model Introduction Quick review of the IS-LM model: Y = C + I + G, C = C(Y T), 0 < C Y T < 1, I = I(R), I R < 0, T = T(Y ), 0 < T Y < 1, M/P = l(y, R), l Y > 0, l R 0, I is investment (in capital goods, e.g. machines, PCs, buildings). G is government consumption. T is taxes (Y T is after tax income). T(Y ) is the tax function and T Y is the marginal tax rate. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 31/51
29 Slopes in (R, Y ) space Introduction Slope of IS curve: Y = C(Y T(Y )) + I(R) + G dy = C Y T (dy T Y dy ) + I R dr + dg dy = C Y T (1 T Y )dy + I R dr + dg I R dr + dg dy = 1 C Y T (1 T Y ) (A) Slope of LM curve: M/P = l(y, R) d(m/p) = l Y dy + l R dr dr = d(m/p) l Y dy l R (B) Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 32/51
30 From IS-LM to the AD curve The IS-LM equilibrium represents (Y, R) combinations for which the money market and the demand side of the goods market are in equilibrium, given the exogenous variables M and G and the price level P. The aggregate demand (AD) curve is the IS-LM equilibrium expressed as combinations of Y and P (again given the exogenous variables M and G). Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 33/51
31 From IS-LM to the AD curve To find the slope of the AD curve we substitute (B) into (A): dy = I d(m/p) ly dy R l R + dg 1 C Y T (1 T Y ) d(m/p) l Y dy [1 C Y T (1 T Y )]dy = I R + dg [ 1 C Y T (1 T Y ) + I Rl Y l R l R ] dy = I R l R d(m/p) + dg Or, after simplifying: dy = dg + (I R/l R )(M/P) [ dm M ] dp P (AD) 1 C Y T (1 T Y ) + l Y I R /l R Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 34/51
32 Test your understanding **** Self Test **** Test your understanding of the material by deriving the AD curve graphically. Pay attention to both the normal case (with < l R < 0) and the liquidity trap case (with l R ) **** Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 35/51
33 The most important schools of thought Classical economists Keynesians Neo-classical synthesis (a.k.a. neo-keynesian synthesis) Monetarists New-Classical economists Supply-siders New-Keynesians Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 36/51
34 Distinguishing features The real dividing issues are: Can the government influence the outcome of the economic process? Should the government influence the economic process? To preview the broad answers: Keynesian economists (broadly defined) generally answer yes to both questions. Classical economist (broadly defined) generally answer yes to the first and no to the second question. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 37/51
35 Classical Economists Names: Adam Smith ( ), David Hume ( ), David Ricardo ( ), John Stuart Mill ( ), Knut Wicksell ( ), Irving Fisher ( ). Quantity theory of money; Fisher s equation of exchange: with k constant. M = kpy LM curve vertical (l R = 0 in our notation). AD curve independent of government consumption G. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 38/51
36 Classical Economists Fiscal policy useless. Just raises interest rate and crowds out investment (see Figure 1.9). Monetary policy useless. Just raises prices and does nothing to real things (see Figure 1.9). Classical dichotomy: money is a veil which determines nominal prices but does not affect real quantities and relative prices. Monetary neutrality. Conclusion: no need for macroeconomic policy. Leave well-enough alone. Laissez-faire economics. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 39/51

38 Keynes? Introduction Names: too many interpreters to mention. Gimmick of the liquidity trap. Horizontal segment in the LM curve. AD curve independent of nominal money supply M. Classical model is inconsistent There is no price level consistent with full employment. See Figure Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 41/51
39 Keynes? Introduction Fiscal policy very useful. Raises demand (and thus moves economy towards full employment); no interest rate change and thus no crowding out investment (see Figure 1.10). Monetary policy useless. Does nothing (see Figure 1.10). But: liquidity trap not relevant in real life and, according to Pigou, the real balance effect in consumption will render AD downward sloping and will ensure logical consistency of the Classical model.

41 Neoclassical synthesizers Names: Paul Samuelson ( ), James Tobin ( ), Franco Modigliani ( ), Robert Solow (1924-) plus virtually all economists in 1950s and 1960s except Milton Friedman ( ). Pick best elements of Classical and Keynesian approaches. Economy is Keynesian in the short run but Classical in the long run. Long-run AS curve vertical, short-run AS curve upward sloping. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 44/51
42 Neoclassical synthesizers Various sub-species exist, depending on the rationalization of the upward sloping short-run AS curve. Nominal wage, W, sticky downward in the short run. Expected price level, P e, sticky in the short run (adaptive expectations). Both monetary and fiscal policy can affect the economy (see Figure 1.11). Underlying presumption is that the government should pursue a counter-cyclical policy. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 45/51

44 Monetarists Introduction Names: Milton Friedman ( ) and his Chicago boys. Interest sensitivity of investment high ( I R large and IS flat) strong crowding out of I by G. Quantity theory of money (l R 0 in our notation; near vertical LM curve). Friedman hates the REH. Monetary policy is potent but... Policy maker makes timing errors ( long and variable lags ) and may exacerbate the cycle. Constant money growth rule. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 47/51
45 New Classical economists Names: Robert Lucas (1937-), Thomas Sargent (1943-), Edward Prescott (1940-), Robert Barro (1944-). Natural successors to the classical economists. Flexible prices/wages, REH (or PFH), full employment, efficient markets. Micro-foundations of macro-relations (e.g. investment demand, consumption demand, money demand, labour demand and supply). PIP as gimmick early on (see again in Chapter 3). Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 48/51
46 Supply siders Introduction Names: Arthur Laffer, Robert Mundell (1932-). Radical conservatives. Strong distrust of the government (Leviathan). Emphasis on distorting aspects of taxation. Policy advice too good to be true: you can cut the tax rate without reducing government spending. The tax cut pays for itself see the so-called Laffer curve in Figure Reagan loved it and ran huge deficits Revisited by Bush Jr. Are they closet Keynesians? Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 49/51

48 New Keynesian economists Names: Edmund Phelps (1933-), Stanley Fischer (1943-), John B. Taylor (1946-), Olivier-Jean Blanchard (1948-), Greg Mankiw (1958-). Derive their inspiration from John Maynard Keynes. Markets are prone to fail or to be incomplete. After initial hesitation acceptance of the REH (or PFH). Government can and should intervene in the macro-economy. Keen attention to microfoundations. Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics - Second Edition Chapter 1 51/51
