Scope of Macroeconomics

1.         Determination of national income
  •  Y= C(consumption)+I(Investment)+G(Govt exp.)
  • Concepts – GDP, GNP, NNP, Per capita income
  • Helps to analyse the performance of an economy
  • To compare relative performance of the different countries
  • To understand the distribution of the income among the people
2.         Economic Fluctuations
  • In income & Employment with recession & prosperity
  • Inflation, deflation
  • Stabilization policies through fiscal and monetary policy
3.         Aggregate Demand & Aggregate Supply
  • Level of employment and national income is determined by aggregate demand – J. B. Keynes
  • Aggregate Supply increases by improving productivity, investment, technological changes and policies 
          4.         Employment and Unemployment
  • Macroeconomics studies the level of and nature of employment in the economy.
  • Involuntary unemployment- in depression (due to corona), Cyclical unemployment – developed economy, disguised unemployment- agriculture (due to corona), underemployment, educated unemployment these types and causes
         5.         Money and price level 
  • Macro economics studies the role of money, its demand and supply.
  • Inflation, deflation, stagflation.
         6.         Economic growth and development
  • Harrod-Domar model –higher level of saving leads to higher investment and lower the capital output ratio higher the growth rate. Rate of economic growth = level of saving/capital output ratio
  • Arthur Lewis Model of development – transfer of the surplus labour from agricultural sector to industrial sector (Dual Economy)
  • W.W. Rostow – the stages of economic growth,
  • Robert Solow- same saving of different countries will have same steady growth rate and need Solow convergence.
  • Amartya Sen – Rural development and welfare economics, Paul Romer
          7.          Balance of payment and exchange rate:
  • Export to other nation and import from other nation impacts on national income. Macroeconomics explains deficits in BOP, and suggests policy measures to correct BOP.
  • Convergence of a nations currency in other nations currency is exchange rate
  • Role of the government in BOP and exchange rate

  4. 1) Disposable Income (DI) :- Its the income which is actually to the individuals to spend on consumption and to save. The whole of personal income is not available to the imdividuals to meet their expenditures. A part of it is paid to the government in the form of direct taxes. Thus, in order to obtain disposable income we have to deduct direct taxes paid by the individuals from the personal income. Thus, Disposable Income= personal income - direct taxes paid by individuals

    2) Green Gross National Income :- Green Gross National Income measured as Green Gross Domestic Product or GGDP is an index of economic growth that measures the environmental effects on the growth of conventional GDP. It takes into account the environmemtal impact on a country's economic growth. GGDP is conventional gross domestic product figures adjusted for the environmental costs of economic activities.
