Document Summary

If input prices for cdn firms decrease, no change in the price level. Creates an inflationary gap (increased prices, wages) Therefore, it starts shifting back towards equilibrium. The cdn dollar depreciates with respect to the us dollar. Price level increases, no change in real gdp. Demand shifts to the right, inflationary gap (higher input prices, wages) Nothing that happens in the short run has an affect on the long run gdp. Normally measured by real per capita gdp. Median income may be a better measure of common living standards. Higher incomes lead to many better outcomes. Easier to redistribute in a growing economy. Tradeoff between consumption now and consumption in the future. Increases in economic growth commonly lead to increased use of environmental resources. Arguments that environmentally friendly growth is possible are fairly weak. If growth leads to inequality - overall well-being may fall. Economic growth may not be the right measure. Productivity may be more closely related to well-being.
