These are the 2 players in the simplified circular flow model

Households and Firms

200

Someone who does not have a job, and is not looking for one may cause us to understate this

Unemployment Rate

200

This is the vocab word for prices going down over time

Deflation

200

A value is called "real" because it does this.

Adjusts for inflation

200

This is what GDP stands for

Gross Domestic Product

400

This transfer of money is the incentive for labor

Wages

400

This is the formula for labor force

employed + unemployed

400

The ratio between the market basket in the current year divided by the market basket in the base year, times 100.

CPI (Consumer Price Index)

400

Real income is commonly used to give us a better idea of this concept relating to the amount of goods and services that can be bought

Purchasing Power

400

This is the formula used for calculating GDP

C + I + G + (X-M) 

600

Give an example of a leakage from the circular flow model. This is something that makes money "leak" or leave the circular flow money flow.

Savings, imports, and destruction of money

600

These are the three types of unemployment

Structional, Frictional, and Cyclical

600

In this year, the nominal value = real value

base year

600

This will happen if nominal income increases by a lower rate than prices

Real income will decrease

600

employed divided by the labor force

labor force participation rate

800

A CPI of 120 indicates that the economy has experienced this rate of inflation since the base year

20%

800

This formula applies A = P(1+r) in terms of real gdp, nominal gdp and the gdp deflator

Nominal GDP = Real GDP * GDP Deflator/100

800

This value is similar to the CPI in concept, but different in calculation... calculated as nominal GDP divided by real GDP multiplied by 100. 

GDP Deflator

1000

The rest of the world interacts with these two markets

The goods and services market, and the financial market.

1000

During this stage of the business cycle, unemployment will fall

Expansion

1000

Who counts as being part of the labor force?

 those in the civilian non-institutional population, age sixteen years or older, who are employed or who are unemployed and seeking employment.

1000

Multiply these two values when trying to calculate the real GDP of a simple economy by hand.

Price in the base year times quantity in the current year
