1. Some useful tools to present economic information:
ratios, proportions...
●
Ratios: ratios are one number expressed in relation to another by dividing
the one number by the other
●
Proportions: proportions are special kinds of ratios where the
denominator is the total while the numerator is a subpart of the total.
This tells us what part the numerator is of the total.
●
Percentages are just a form of the proportion based on 100.To calculate a
percentage we simply multiply a proportion by 100

1. Some useful tools to present economic information:
index numbers
●
We want to know how certain variables like prices, production, etc.
have changed over time and space. And it is not very useful to work
with the original values because they are too large or because we need
to aggregate them.
We choose a reference point (time, place)
●
●
We calculate index numbers for one variable (simple index) or for more than one
(composite index) in different years (months..), or in different regions (countries..)
●
We are going to study

Price index

“The A-B-C of macroeconomics consists of distinguishing what
part of the change in national accounts aggregates at current
prices stems from a change in the quantities produced and what
part stems from a change in prices”
GDP at “current prices” (or nominal GDP)

Deflate: convert “current prices” values in “real” values

Price index are used to “deflate”
●
The price index that we use to deflate GDP is the “GDP deflator”:
includes prices of FCE of households and general government, GCF,(X-M)

3. Measuring inflation: CPI and HCPI
●
We need price index to:
●
Deflate GDP, GCF, wages => we will be able to make inter-temporal
comparisons
●
Study the evolution of prices is interesting by itself: the main purpose of the
ECB in to guarantee that inflation will be low. The ECB needs to measure
inflation to achieve this goal.
●
Consumer Price Index: includes only goods and services used and paid by
consumers
●
It is a Laspeyres Price Index:

Remember than this index can also be written this way:

3. Measuring inflation: CPI and HCPI
Weights are calculated with a combination of Each month INE takes the prices of
-Data fron national acocunts (main aggregates) 479 articles in 177 municipalities in
-“Encuesta de presupuestos familiares” (Household some 29,000 establishments:
Budget Survey):A survey made each quarter to the Every month they are written down
households, to find out how they spend (subclasses) around the 220,000 prices
The classification of goods and services conforms to the harmonized nomenclature of the European Union
Aggregation levels: 12 groups, 43 subgroups, 101 classes and 219 subclasses

- Real GDP
- Real investment Deflators

Conclusion: real GDP growth rate
- And if real GDP ≈ Potential GDP then a “healthy” real growth rate should keep us close
to potential GDP:
- Growth rate should be determined by increase in labor force (linked to population growth),
net capital increase (linked to net saving rate) and labour efficiency (linked to technology,
human capital...) growth.
34
Conclusion: real GDP growth rate
- If Potential GDP > Real GDP, there is a positive output gap =>
- There is unemployment
- We can increase growth rate without inflation
- (There is other main cause for inflation: cost-push inflation, like the one we have now in Europe)
- A “healthy” growth rate (non inflationary) can be higher until we reach Potential GDP
- In 2020 (COVID) real GDP was down 11.3% in Spain =>
- In 2021 there was a large + gap: GDP 2021 increased 5.5%
- There are several ways to estimate “potential GDP”. But just for now (and for Spain):
- The average GR of real (volume) GDP in Spain since 1996 is 2.27%
- For next years, still with large positive gap, real GDP GR should be >> 2.3%
- When the gap is close to 0, we should increase “labour efficiency” in order keep growing more than 2%
and get closer to EU leader countries
