(a) Structural Unemployment: It is also known as Marxian unemployment or long-term unemployment. It is due to slower growth of capital stock in the country. The entire labour force cannot be absorbed in productive employment, because there are not enough instruments of production to employ them. (b) Seasonal Unemployment: Seasonal unemployment arises because of the seasonal character of a particular productive activity so that people become unemployed during the slack season. Occupations relating to agriculture, sugar mills, rice mills, ice factories and tourism are seasonal. (c) Frictional Unemployment: It arises when the labour force is temporarily out of work because of perfect mobility on the part of the labour. (d) Cyclical Unemployment: It is also known as Keynesian unemployment. (e) Disguised Unemployment: Disguised unemployment is the most widespread type of unemployment in under-developed countries.

Readers Question: What are the effects of increased investment on aggregate demand in the short term and the long term. Investment means capital expenditure (e.g. purchasing machines or building bigger factory)Investment is a component of AD. – AD+ C+I+G+X-M.Investment spending takes about 15% of AD; it is not as significant as consumer spending which is 66%.
If Investment increases, then ceteris paribus, AD will increase. However, it depends on the economic circumstances. e.g. if there was a situation of falling house prices and lower consumer spending, increased investment may be insufficient to increase AD. In the long term, higher investment may increase productive capacity and increase aggregate supply. Therefore, you could argue, investment enables a more sustainable increase in AD. The increase in capacity, enables a sustained rise in AD. If the economy is at full capacity and AD rises then there will be just inflation. Multiplier Effect See also: IS/LM model. The IS curve moves to the right, causing higher interest rates (i) and expansion in the "real" economy (real GDP, or Y). The model was developed by John Hicks in 1937,[4] and later extended by Alvin Hansen,[5] as a mathematical representation of Keynesian macroeconomic theory. Between the 1940s and mid-1970s, it was the leading framework of macroeconomic analysis.[6] While it has been largely absent from macroeconomic research ever since, it is still the backbone of many introductory macroeconomics textbooks.[7] History[edit] The IS/LM model was born at the econometric conference held in Oxford during September, 1936.
Roy Harrod, John R. Hicks later agreed that the model missed important points of Keynesian theory, criticizing it as having very limited use beyond "a classroom gadget", and criticizing equilibrium methods generally: "When one turns to questions of policy, looking towards the future instead of the past, the use of equilibrium methods is still more suspect Formation[edit] How to Write a Bibliography - Examples in MLA Style.

Real wages in the US from 1964 to 2004 have fluctuated. They have remained mostly stagnant over this period of time. U.S. productivity and average real earnings, 1947-2008 Despite difficulty in defining one value for the real wage, in some cases a real wage can be said to have unequivocally increased. This is true if: After the change, the worker can now afford any bundle of goods and services that he could just barely afford before the change, and still have money left over. The use of adjusted figures is used in undertaking some forms of economic analysis. An alternative is to look at how much time it took to earn enough money to buy various items in the past, which is one version of the definition of real wages as the amount of goods or services that can be bought.
Real wages are a useful economic measure, as opposed to nominal wages, which simply show the monetary value of wages in that year. Example[edit] Consider an example economy with the following wages over three years. TIME: We Are All Keynesians Now. (See Cover) The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. —The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money Concluding his most important book with those words in 1935, John Maynard Keynes was confident that he had laid down a philosophy that would move and change men's affairs.

Keynesian Economics. Keynesian economics is a theory of total spending in the economy (called aggregate demand) and its effects on output and inflation. Although the term has been used (and abused) to describe many things over the years, six principal tenets seem central to Keynesianism. The first three describe how the economy works. 1. A Keynesian believes that aggregate demand is influenced by a host of economic decisions—both public and private—and sometimes behaves erratically. The public decisions include, most prominently, those on monetary and fiscal (i.e., spending and tax) policies. Some decades ago, economists heatedly debated the relative strengths of monetary and fiscal policies, with some Keynesians arguing that monetary policy is powerless, and some monetarists arguing that fiscal policy is powerless. 2.
But Keynesians believe that, because prices are somewhat rigid, fluctuations in any component of spending—consumption, investment, or government expenditures—cause output to fluctuate. 3. 4. Keynesian economics - Wiki. The theories forming the basis of Keynesian economics were first presented by the British economist John Maynard Keynes in his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936, during the Great Depression. Keynes contrasted his approach to the aggregate supply-focused 'classical' economics that preceded his book.
The interpretations of Keynes that followed are contentious and several schools of economic thought claim his legacy. Keynesian economists often argue that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes which require active policy responses by the public sector, in particular, monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government, in order to stabilize output over the business cycle.[2] Keynesian economics advocates a mixed economy – predominantly private sector, but with a role for government intervention during recessions.

Most people are accustomed to worrying about inflation, which has been a durable fact of life in the United States for half a century. Lower prices may sound appealing, but deflation can make a bad recession worse. Such concerns about deflation run sharply counter to the “mainstream” or neoclassical view of recessions. One response to the neoclassical argument is that, in fact, prices are not perfectly flexible (they exhibit “stickiness”). Keynes expressed, in numerous passages in The General Theory, the view that wages were “sticky” in terms of money. Did you find this article useful?
