Economics 经济学 begins with scarcity 稀缺性: people's wants are unlimited, but the resources 资源 to satisfy them are limited. The resources – the factors of production 生产要素 – are land, labor 劳动, capital 资本, and entrepreneurship 企业家才能. Scarcity forces every society to choose what, how, and for whom to produce, and it makes trade-offs 权衡 unavoidable.

Enduring Understanding (MOD-1): The production possibilities curve (PPC) model is used to demonstrate the full employment level of output and to illustrate changes in full employment.
Learning Objective MOD-1.B:
a. Define (using graphs as appropriate) the PPC and related terms.
b. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) how the PPC illustrates opportunity costs, tradeoffs, inefficiency, efficiency, and economic growth or contraction under various conditions.
c. Calculate (using data from PPCs or tables as appropriate) opportunity cost.
MOD-1.B.1 The PPC is a model used to show the tradeoffs associated with allocating resources.
MOD-1.B.2 The PPC can be used to illustrate the concepts of scarcity, opportunity cost, efficiency, underutilized resources, and economic growth or contraction.
MOD-1.B.3 The shape of the PPC depends on whether opportunity costs are constant, increasing, or decreasing.
MOD-1.B.4 The PPC can shift because of changes in factors of production as well as changes in productivity/technology.
MOD-1.B.5 Economic growth results in an outward shift of the PPC.

The production possibility frontier
Every choice has an opportunity cost 机会成本 – the value of the next-best alternative given up. The production possibilities curve (PPC) 生产可能性曲线 shows the maximum combinations of two goods an economy can make when resources are fully and efficiently used.
Points on the curve are efficient; inside, inefficient (unemployed resources); outside, unattainable.
The downward slope shows opportunity cost; a bowed-out curve shows increasing opportunity cost.
More resources or better technology cause economic growth 经济增长, shifting the PPC outward.
Move along the curve — making more capital goods means giving up consumer goods. That lost output is the opportunity cost, and the bowed shape shows it rising with each extra unit. · เคลื่อนที่ไปตามเส้นโค้ง — การผลิต สินค้าทุน ที่มากขึ้นหมายถึงการสละ สินค้าอุปโภคบริโภค ผลผลิตรวมที่สูญเสียไป คือโอกาสต้นทุน และรูปร่างโค้งที่นูนขึ้นแสดงว่าสิ่งนี้ เพิ่มขึ้น เมื่อเพิ่มหน่วยการผลิตหนึ่งหน่วย

Enduring Understanding (MKT-1): Production and consumption increase by engaging in trade.
Learning Objective MKT-1.A:
a. Define absolute advantage and comparative advantage.
b. Determine (using data from PPCs or tables as appropriate) absolute and comparative advantage.
MKT-1.A.1 Absolute advantage describes a situation in which an individual, business, or country can produce more of a good or service than any other producer with the same quantity of resources.
MKT-1.A.2 Comparative advantage describes a situation in which an individual, business, or country can produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than another producer.
Learning Objective MKT-1.B:
a. Explain (using data from PPCs or tables as appropriate) how specialization according to comparative advantage with appropriate terms of trade can lead to gains from trade.
b. Calculate (using data from PPCs or tables as appropriate) mutually beneficial terms of trade.
MKT-1.B.1 Production specialization according to comparative advantage results in exchange opportunities that lead to consumption opportunities beyond the PPC.

English
A producer has an absolute advantage 绝对优势 in a good if it can make more of it. It has a comparative advantage 比较优势 if it has the lower opportunity cost. Nations should specialize in their comparative-advantage goods and trade – both gain if the terms of trade 贸易条件 lie between the two opportunity costs. Trade lets a country consume beyond its own PPC.
Worked example. Country A can make $10$ wheat or$5$ cloth per day; Country B can make $8$ wheat or$8$ cloth. For A, one cloth costs $\tfrac{10}{5}=2$ wheat; for B it costs $\tfrac{8}{8}=1$ wheat. B's opportunity cost of cloth is lower, so B specializes in cloth. Checking wheat: A gives up $0.5$ cloth per wheat and B gives up $1$, so A specializes in wheat. Trading at any rate between the two costs, both consume beyond their own PPC.
See the gains from specialization and trade · เห็นประโยชน์จากการแบ่งงานเฉพาะด้านและการค้า
A country should specialize where its opportunity cost is lowest, then trade for the rest. Because the terms of trade sit between the two countries' costs, each can consume beyond its own production frontier. · ประเทศควรแบ่งงานเฉพาะด้านที่ โอกาสต้นทุน ต่ำที่สุด แล้วซื้อขายส่วนที่เหลือ เนื่องจากอัตราแลกเปลี่ยนอยู่ระหว่างต้นทุนของประเทศทั้งสอง ทุกประเทศจึงสามารถบริโภค เกินกว่า ขอบเขตการผลิตของตนเองได้

Supply & demand: a shift raises P and Q
Equilibrium 均衡 is where supply meets demand, clearing the market. Above the equilibrium price a surplus 过剩 pushes price down; below it a shortage 短缺 pushes price up. When a determinant shifts one curve, price and quantity move predictably; when both shift, one of them is indeterminate.
Worked example. A new technology lowers producers' costs, shifting supply right. Along the unchanged demand curve, the equilibrium price falls and the equilibrium quantity rises. If instead a rise in incomes shifts demand right at the same time, quantity clearly rises but the effect on price depends on which shift is larger – the "both shift" indeterminate case.
Exam skill: macro builds on these micro tools – you must draw and shift supply-and-demand and PPC graphs correctly, because the same shift logic drives the aggregate (whole-economy) models later in the course.

The circular-flow model 循环流动模型 shows money moving between households and firms: households supply factors and earn income; firms sell goods and earn revenue. Every dollar of spending is someone's income, which is why output and income are two sides of the same total.
Gross domestic product (GDP) 国内生产总值 is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a year. Three ways to measure it give the same number:
Expenditure approach:$GDP = C + I + G + X_n$ – consumption 消费, investment 投资 (business spending on capital, plus new housing and inventory), government purchases 政府购买, and net exports 净出口 (exports minus imports).
Income approach: add up all wages, rent, interest, and profit.
Exclude intermediate goods (avoid double counting), used goods, purely financial transactions, and transfer payments.

GDP measures market output, not well-being. It omits non-market production (unpaid housework, volunteering), the underground economy 地下经济, leisure, and the distribution of income, and it ignores environmental damage and resource depletion. So a higher GDP does not automatically mean a better standard of living. GDP per capita (GDP $\div$ population) is a better welfare proxy than total GDP.

Enduring Understanding (MEA-1): An economy's performance can be measured by different indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP), the inflation rate, and the unemployment rate.
Learning Objective MEA-1.C:
a. Define the labor force, the unemployment rate, and the labor force participation rate.
b. Explain how changes in employment and the labor market affect the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate.
c. Calculate the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate.
MEA-1.C.1 The unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is out of work.
MEA-1.C.2 The labor force participation rate is another measure of the labor market activity in an economy. The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the adult population that is in the labor force.
Learning Objective MEA-1.D: Define the limitations of the unemployment rate.
MEA-1.D.1 The measured unemployment rate is often criticized for understating the level of joblessness because it excludes groups such as discouraged workers and part-time workers.
Learning Objective MEA-1.E:
a. Define the types of unemployment and the natural rate of unemployment.
b. Explain changes in the types of unemployment.
MEA-1.E.1 Economists primarily focus on three types of unemployment: cyclical, frictional, and structural.
MEA-1.E.2 The natural rate of unemployment is the unemployment rate that would exist when the economy produces full-employment real output. It is equal to the sum of frictional and structural unemployment.
MEA-1.E.3 The deviation of the actual unemployment rate from the natural rate is cyclical unemployment.
MEA-1.E.4 The natural rate of unemployment can gradually change over time because of such things as changes in labor force characteristics.
Worked example. A country has $150$ million employed and $10$ million unemployed (actively looking), with $40$ million working-age adults not looking. The labor force is $150+10=160$ million, so the unemployment rate is $\dfrac{10}{160}=6.25\%$ and the participation rate is $\dfrac{160}{200}=80\%$.
Three types of unemployment:
Frictional 摩擦性失业: between jobs or searching for a first job (normal, short).
Structural 结构性失业: skills or location don't match available jobs (technology, trade).
Cyclical 周期性失业: caused by a recession (a downturn in the business cycle).
Frictional + structural make up the natural rate of unemployment 自然失业率. At the natural rate cyclical unemployment is zero and the economy is at full employment 充分就业. The rate understates joblessness because it omits discouraged workers 灰心工人 and the underemployed.

Inflation 通货膨胀 is a sustained rise in the average price level. It is measured with a price index 价格指数, most often the consumer price index (CPI) 消费者价格指数, built from a fixed market basket of goods a typical household buys:
$$CPI=\frac{\text{cost of basket this year}}{\text{cost of basket in base year}}\times100.$$
The inflation rate is the percent change in the index between two years. Deflation 通货紧缩 is a falling price level; disinflation is a slowing of inflation.
Worked example. If the CPI is $200$ this year and was $190$ last year, the inflation rate is $\dfrac{200-190}{190}\times100\%=5.3\%$. A basket that cost $\$190$ then costs $\$200$ – the same goods, more dollars.

Inflation redistributes and distorts:
It hurts lenders and savers and helps borrowers when it is unexpected, because loans are repaid in cheaper dollars. It erodes the value of money and fixed incomes.
Menu costs and uncertainty discourage investment.

Nominal GDP 名义GDP is valued at current prices, so it rises with both output and prices.
Real GDP 实际GDP is valued at constant (base-year) prices, stripping out inflation, so it reflects true output. Real GDP is the honest measure of growth.
Worked example. Nominal GDP is $\$22$ trillion and the GDP deflator is $110$. Real GDP is $\dfrac{22}{110}\times100=\$20$ trillion. The extra $\$2$ trillion of nominal GDP is pure price rise, not real output – which is why growth is always measured with real GDP.

The business cycle
The business cycle 经济周期 is the economy's short-run ups and downs in real GDP around its long-run growth trend: expansion 扩张 (rising output, falling unemployment) up to a peak 顶峰, then contraction/recession 衰退 (falling output, rising cyclical unemployment) down to a trough 谷底, then recovery. A recession is commonly two consecutive quarters of falling real GDP. Unemployment and inflation move roughly opposite over the cycle – the tension the rest of the course tries to manage.
Enduring Understanding (MOD-2): Economists use the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model to represent the relationship between the price level and aggregate output in an economy and to illustrate how output, employment, and the price level respond to macroeconomic shocks.
Learning Objective MOD-2.A:
a. Define (using graphs as appropriate) the aggregate demand (AD) curve.
b. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) the slope of the AD curve and its determinants.
MOD-2.A.1 The aggregate demand (AD) curve describes the relationship between the price level and the quantity of goods and services demanded by households (consumption), firms (investment), government (government spending), and the rest of the world (net exports).
MOD-2.A.2 The negative slope of the AD curve is explained by the real wealth effect, the interest rate effect, and the exchange rate effect. [See EK MKT-3.A.1]
MOD-2.A.3 Any change in the components of aggregate demand (consumption, investment, government spending, or net exports) that is not due to changes in the price level leads to a shift of the AD curve.

The AD–AS model: a demand shock
Aggregate demand (AD) 总需求 shows the total quantity of real output ($C+I+G+X_n$) buyers want at each price level 价格水平. It slopes downward for three reasons special to the whole economy:
the wealth effect 财富效应 (a higher price level shrinks the real value of money, so people buy less),
the interest-rate effect 利率效应 (a higher price level raises money demand and interest rates, cutting investment),
the net-export effect (a higher domestic price level makes exports dearer and imports cheaper).
A change in the price level is a movement along AD. AD shifts when any component of $C+I+G+X_n$ changes for another reason – consumer confidence, business expectations, government spending, taxes, or foreign incomes.

English
The spending multiplier
A change in spending sets off further rounds of spending, so the final change in GDP is larger than the initial change – the multiplier effect 乘数效应. It depends on the marginal propensity to consume 边际消费倾向 (MPC), the fraction of extra income that is spent (the rest is the marginal propensity to save 边际储蓄倾向, MPS, with $MPC+MPS=1$):
The tax multiplier is smaller in size and negative (a tax cut raises GDP; a tax rise lowers it). Total change in GDP $=$ (multiplier) $\times$ (initial change).
Worked example. If $MPC=0.8$, the spending multiplier is $\dfrac{1}{1-0.8}=5$, so a $\$10$ billion rise in government spending lifts real GDP by $5\times\$10=\$50$ billion. The tax multiplier is $-\dfrac{0.8}{0.2}=-4$, so a $\$10$ billion tax cut raises GDP by only $\$40$ billion – weaker, because part of the tax cut is saved.
Exam skill: compute both multipliers from the MPC and find the resulting change in real GDP – an almost-guaranteed calculation.

English
Enduring Understanding (MOD-2): Economists use the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model to represent the relationship between the price level and aggregate output in an economy and to illustrate how output, employment, and the price level respond to macroeconomic shocks.
Learning Objective MOD-2.C:
a. Define (using graphs as appropriate) the short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve.
b. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) the slope of the SRAS curve and its determinants.
MOD-2.C.1 The short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve describes the relationship between the price level and the quantity of goods and services supplied in an economy.
MOD-2.C.2 The SRAS curve is upward-sloping because of sticky wages and prices. [See EK MOD-2.E.1]
MOD-2.C.3 Any factor that causes production costs to change, such as a change in inflationary expectations, will cause the SRAS curve to shift.
Learning Objective MOD-2.D: Explain (using graphs as appropriate) how movement along the SRAS curve implies a relationship between the price level (and inflation) and unemployment.
MOD-2.D.1 Moving along the SRAS curve, an increase in the price level is associated with an increase in output, which means employment must correspondingly rise. With the labor force held constant, unemployment will fall. So, there is a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. [See EK MOD-3.A.1]

English
Short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) 短期总供给 slopes upward: in the short run some input prices (especially nominal wages 名义工资) are sticky 粘性, so a higher output price level widens profit margins and firms produce more. SRAS shifts with input prices, productivity, taxes/subsidies on producers, and supply shocks (e.g. an oil-price change). A rise in input costs shifts SRAS left.
Enduring Understanding (MOD-2): Economists use the aggregate demand–aggregate supply model to represent the relationship between the price level and aggregate output in an economy and to illustrate how output, employment, and the price level respond to macroeconomic shocks.
Learning Objective MOD-2.E: Define (using graphs as appropriate) the short run and the long run.
MOD-2.E.1 In the long run all prices and wages are fully flexible, while in the short run some input prices are fixed. A consequence of flexible long-run prices and wages is the lack of a long-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.
Learning Objective MOD-2.F: Define (using graphs as appropriate) the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve.
MOD-2.F.1 The LRAS curve corresponds to the production possibilities curve (PPC) because they both represent maximum sustainable capacity. Maximum sustainable capacity is the total output an economic system will produce over a set period of time if all resources are fully employed. [See LO MOD-2.I]
MOD-2.F.2 The LRAS curve is vertical at the full-employment level of output because in the long run wages and prices fully adjust.

Long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) 长期总供给 is vertical at the economy's full-employment (potential) output 潜在产出$Y_f$. In the long run all prices and wages are fully flexible (only in the short run are some input prices fixed), so output depends only on real factors – resources, technology, institutions – not the price level. LRAS shifts only with economic growth (more or better resources). LRAS corresponds to the production possibilities curve (PPC) 生产可能性曲线: both mark the economy's maximum sustainable capacity, so an outward LRAS shift and an outward PPC shift are the same event drawn two ways. The vertical LRAS is why, in the long run, demand policy changes prices, not output.

MOD-2.G.1 Short-run equilibrium occurs when the aggregate quantity of output demanded and the aggregate quantity of output supplied are equal—i.e., at the intersection of the AD and SRAS curves.
MOD-2.G.2 Long-run equilibrium occurs when the AD and SRAS curves intersect on the LRAS—i.e., at the full-employment level of real output.
MOD-2.G.3 The short-run equilibrium output can be at the full-employment level of output, above it, or below it, creating positive (i.e., inflationary) or negative (i.e., recessionary) output gaps.

A demand shock shifts AD: a positive one (more spending) raises both price level and output (and lowers unemployment); a negative one lowers both.
A supply shock shifts SRAS: a negative one (higher input costs) raises the price level and lowers output at once – stagflation 滞胀 – the hardest case for policymakers, because fixing one worsens the other.

English
Left alone, the economy self-corrects through flexible wages:
In a recessionary gap, high unemployment eventually pushes nominal wages down, shifting SRAS right until output returns to $Y_f$ at a lower price level.
In an inflationary gap, labor shortages push wages up, shifting SRAS left back to $Y_f$ at a higher price level.
The debate over how fast this happens is the case for (or against) active policy: self-adjustment is slow and painful, which is the argument for intervening.

Fiscal policy 财政政策 is the government's use of spending and taxes to shift AD:
Expansionary 扩张性 (more spending or lower taxes) shifts AD right to close a recessionary gap.
Contractionary 紧缩性 (less spending or higher taxes) shifts AD left to close an inflationary gap.
Size the policy with the multipliers: to close a gap of a given size, the required change in spending is (gap) $\div$ (spending multiplier). Limits include time lags, crowding out (below), and political difficulty.
Worked example. An economy has a $\$100$ billion recessionary gap and $MPC=0.75$ (spending multiplier $=\dfrac{1}{0.25}=4$). To close it, the government must raise spending by $\dfrac{\$100\text{ billion}}{4}=\$25$ billion. Using a tax cut instead (tax multiplier $-3$) would require a larger $\dfrac{100}{3}\approx\$33$ billion cut.
Exam skill: you must draw the correctly labeled AD-AS graph, identify the gap, prescribe the right fiscal action and its direction, and often calculate the exact spending or tax change needed.

Money 货币 is anything widely accepted in exchange. Its three functions: a medium of exchange 交换媒介 (avoids barter), a unit of account 记账单位 (a common measure of value), and a store of value 价值储藏 (holds value over time). Modern money is fiat money 法定货币 – valuable because the government declares it legal tender and people trust it, not because it is backed by gold.
Money is measured in tiers by liquidity: M1 (currency plus checkable deposits – the most liquid) and the broader M2 (M1 plus savings deposits and other near-money). Below M1 is the monetary base 基础货币 (M0, or MB) – currency in circulation plus bank reserves. The money multiplier equals money supply ÷ monetary base, so a central-bank action that raises reserves expands the money supply by a larger amount through the multiplier.

Banks operate on a fractional reserve 部分准备金 system: they keep a fraction of deposits as reserves 准备金 and lend the rest. The fraction they must keep is the required reserve ratio 法定准备金率 (rr). Lending creates new deposits, which are re-deposited and re-lent, expanding the money supply by the money multiplier:
$$\text{money multiplier}=\frac{1}{rr}.$$
A new $1000 deposit with$rr=0.1$leaves$$900$in excess reserves, so the banking system can expand the money supply by up to$900\times\frac{1}{0.1}=9,000$.

The money market sets the interest rate
The money market 货币市场 determines the nominal interest rate:
Money demand 货币需求 slopes downward against the interest rate – the rate is the opportunity cost of holding money instead of interest-bearing assets. It shifts right with a higher price level or more real GDP.
Money supply 货币供给 is vertical – set by the central bank, independent of the interest rate.
Their intersection sets the equilibrium interest rate. If the central bank increases the money supply, the supply line shifts right and the interest rate falls.

Enduring Understanding (POL-1): Fiscal and monetary policy have short-run effects on macroeconomic outcomes.
Learning Objective POL-1.D:
a. Define monetary policy and related terms.
b. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) the short-run effects of a monetary policy action.
c. Calculate (using data and balance sheets as appropriate) the effects of a monetary policy action.
POL-1.D.1 Central banks implement monetary policies to achieve macroeconomic goals, such as price stability.
POL-1.D.2 The tools of monetary policy may include the central bank's discount rate and other administered interest rates (e.g., interest on reserves), open market operations, and the required reserve ratio. The tools used and the way in which they are implemented differ between economies that have limited reserves in their banking system and economies that have ample reserves in their banking system. (The banking system in the United States has ample reserves, and the Federal Reserve's key policy tool is interest on reserves.)
POL-1.D.3 When the central bank conducts an open-market purchase (sale), reserves increase (decrease), thereby increasing (decreasing) the monetary base.
POL-1.D.4 When the central bank conducts an open-market purchase (sale) in an economy with limited reserves, the effect on the money supply is greater than the effect on the monetary base because of the money multiplier.
POL-1.D.5 Many central banks carry out policy to hit a target range for an overnight interbank lending rate, sometimes referred to as the central bank's policy rate. (In the United States, this is the federal funds rate.)
POL-1.D.6 Central banks can influence the nominal interest rate in the short run, which in turn will affect investment and consumption. [See also EK MKT-5.G.2 for the influence on net capital inflows.] In an economy with limited reserves, the central bank can influence the nominal interest rate by changing the money supply. In an economy with ample reserves, changes in the money supply do not effectively change the nominal interest rate; instead, the central bank can influence the nominal interest rate by changing its administered interest rates.

English
Monetary policy 货币政策 is the central bank's (the Federal Reserve's) use of the money supply to steer the economy, working through the interest rate:
Expansionary (easy) 扩张性: increase the money supply $\to$ interest rate falls $\to$ investment and consumption rise $\to$ AD shifts right (fights recession).
Contractionary (tight) 紧缩性: decrease the money supply $\to$ interest rate rises $\to$ AD shifts left (fights inflation).
Tools: open-market operations 公开市场操作 (buying bonds injects money, selling bonds withdraws it – the main tool), changing the reserve requirement, and changing the discount rate 贴现率 (the rate banks pay to borrow from the central bank). Follow the full chain on the exam: money supply $\to$ interest rate $\to$ investment $\to$ AD $\to$ output, price level, unemployment.
Modern central banks run an ample-reserves system. Rather than nudging the money supply, the Fed sets administered rates – chiefly the interest on reserves (IOR) 准备金利息 it pays banks – and this steers the policy rate 政策利率 (the federal funds rate, the overnight rate banks charge one another). In the reserve market, reserve demand slopes downward while the central bank supplies reserves at its chosen rate; raising IOR lifts the whole policy rate to fight inflation, lowering it eases to fight recession. (In the older limited-reserves system the Fed instead shifted the reserve supply through open-market operations.)

The loanable funds market
The loanable funds market 可贷资金市场 determines the real interest rate and connects saving to investment:
Supply of loanable funds comes from saving and slopes upward.
Demand for loanable funds comes from borrowers (firms investing, government borrowing) and slopes downward.
That saving is the economy's national savings 国民储蓄 = private savings (households and firms) + public savings (the government's budget balance – a surplus adds to saving, a deficit subtracts from it). For an open economy, investment = national savings + net capital inflow from abroad. So a bigger budget deficit is negative public saving that shrinks the supply of loanable funds and crowds out investment.
More saving shifts supply right and lowers the real rate; more government borrowing shifts demand right and raises the real rate – the mechanism behind crowding out. Distinguish the two graphs: the money market sets the nominal rate (vertical money supply), while loanable funds sets the real rate (upward-sloping saving supply).
Exam skill: know which graph to draw – money market for monetary policy, loanable funds for saving, deficits, and crowding out – and trace how a shift in one feeds into AD-AS.

Both policies work by shifting AD in the short run. Fiscal policy 财政政策 changes government spending or taxes; monetary policy 货币政策 changes the money supply and thus the interest rate. They can work together (both expansionary to fight a deep recession) or be mixed (e.g. loose fiscal + tight monetary). In the short run, expansionary policy raises output and the price level and lowers unemployment; contractionary policy does the reverse.

The short-run Phillips curve
The Phillips curve 菲利普斯曲线 shows the short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment:
The short-run Phillips curve (SRPC) 短期菲利普斯曲线 slopes downward – lower unemployment comes with higher inflation. It is the mirror image of AD-AS: a rightward AD shift moves the economy up-left along the SRPC (less unemployment, more inflation).
The long-run Phillips curve (LRPC) 长期菲利普斯曲线 is vertical at the natural rate of unemployment 自然失业率 – the counterpart of vertical LRAS. In the long run there is no trade-off: policy changes inflation, not unemployment.
A supply shock shifts the SRPC (a negative shock moves it right – worse inflation and unemployment, i.e. stagflation). A change in expected inflation also shifts the SRPC.
Exam skill: link the AD-AS and Phillips graphs – a recessionary gap in AD-AS corresponds to a point on the SRPC to the right of the natural rate; know what shifts SRPC versus moves along it.

In the long run, inflation is a monetary phenomenon. The quantity theory of money 货币数量论 states $M\times V = P\times Y$ (money supply $\times$ velocity $=$ price level $\times$ real output). With velocity $V$ and real output $Y$ roughly stable in the long run, growth in the money supply translates almost one-for-one into inflation. Printing money faster than the economy grows raises the price level, not real output – the root of high inflation and, in the extreme, hyperinflation 恶性通货膨胀.
Worked example. Suppose the money supply grows $8\%$ per year while real output $Y$ grows $3\%$ and velocity $V$ is stable. Rearranging $M\times V=P\times Y$ into growth rates, inflation $\approx 8\%-3\%=5\%$. The $5\%$ of money growth not matched by extra output simply becomes higher prices.

A budget deficit 预算赤字 occurs when government spending exceeds tax revenue in a year (a surplus 盈余 is the reverse). The accumulated total of past deficits is the national debt 国债. Deficits are financed by borrowing – selling government bonds – which adds to the debt and to future interest payments. Persistent deficits raise concerns about crowding out and the burden of servicing the debt.

English
Crowding out 挤出效应 is the main long-run cost of deficit-financed fiscal policy. When the government borrows heavily, it increases the demand for loanable funds, raising the real interest rate. Higher rates reduce private investment (and interest-sensitive consumption). So expansionary fiscal policy partly cancels itself: the AD boost is offset by weaker investment. Worse, less investment today means a smaller capital stock and slower long-run growth.
Exam skill: show crowding out on the loanable funds graph – government borrowing shifts demand right, the real interest rate rises, and private investment falls.
Worked example. A government borrows $\$500$ billion to finance a deficit. On the loanable funds market this shifts the demand for funds right, pushing the real interest rate up (say from $3\%$ to $4\%$). At the higher rate firms scale back investment – perhaps by $\$150$ billion – so the net boost to AD is smaller than the $\$500$ billion, and the lost investment slows long-run growth.
ตัวอย่างการคำนวณ รัฐบาลกู้ยืม $\$500$ billion to finance a deficit. On the loanable funds market this shifts the demand for funds right, pushing the real interest rate up (say from $3%$ to $4%$). At the higher rate firms scale back investment – perhaps by $\$150$ พันล้านดอลลาร์ – ดังนั้นการกระตุ้น AD สุทธิจึงน้อยกว่า $\$500$ พันล้านดอลลาร์ และการสูญเสียการลงทุนจะทำให้การเติบโตระยะยาวชะลอตัวลง

The balance of payments 国际收支 records all transactions between a country and the rest of the world, in two main accounts:
The current account 经常账户 tracks trade in goods and services (exports minus imports), plus income and transfers. A trade deficit makes it negative.
The capital (financial) account 资本账户 tracks flows of financial assets – foreigners buying domestic assets, and residents buying foreign assets.
The two are mirror images: a current-account deficit is matched by a capital-account surplus (a country that imports more than it exports pays with assets, so foreign investment flows in). They sum to zero.

An exchange rate 汇率 is the price of one currency in terms of another. A currency appreciates 升值 when it gains value (buys more foreign currency) and depreciates 贬值 when it loses value. Always track which currency: if the US dollar appreciates against the euro, the euro depreciates against the dollar – the same event from two sides.
Worked example. Suppose $\$1=\text{€}0.90$, so $\text{€}1=\dfrac{1}{0.90}\approx\$1.11$. If the dollar then appreciates to $\$1=\text{€}1.00$, each dollar now buys more euros, while the euro has depreciated – it now buys only $\$1.00$ instead of $\$1.11$. The single event is an appreciation of the dollar and a depreciation of the euro.
Most currencies today are floating 浮动, set by supply and demand in the foreign-exchange market.

The foreign exchange market
Each currency has its own supply-and-demand graph (price $=$ the exchange rate, quantity $=$ amount of that currency).
Demand for a currency comes from foreigners wanting its goods, services, or assets.
Supply of a currency comes from its own residents wanting foreign goods, services, or assets.
The equilibrium exchange rate is where they cross. A rightward shift in demand for a currency causes it to appreciate; a rightward shift in supply causes it to depreciate.
Exam skill: always draw the graph for the currency named in the question, label the axis with that currency's price, and shift the correct curve – mixing up the two currencies' graphs is the most common error.

Enduring Understanding (MKT-5): The interaction of buyers and sellers exchanging the currency of one country for the currency of another determines the equilibrium exchange rate in a flexible exchange market and influences the flow of goods, services, and financial capital between countries.
Learning Objective MKT-5.E:
a. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) the determinants of currency demand and supply.
b. Explain (using graphs as appropriate) how changes in demand and supply in the foreign exchange market affect the equilibrium exchange rate.
MKT-5.E.1 Factors that shift the demand for a currency (such as the demand for that country's goods, services, or assets) and the supply of a currency (such as tariffs or quotas on the other country's goods and services) change the equilibrium exchange rate.
MKT-5.E.2 Fiscal policy can influence aggregate demand, real output, the price level, and exchange rates.
MKT-5.E.3 Monetary policy can influence aggregate demand, real output, the price level, and interest rates, and thereby affect exchange rates.

Exchange rates respond to:
Relative interest rates: a higher domestic real interest rate attracts foreign financial investment, raising demand for the currency and causing appreciation.
Relative price levels/inflation: higher domestic inflation makes goods less competitive, lowering demand for the currency (depreciation).
Relative incomes: higher domestic income raises imports, increasing the supply of domestic currency (depreciation).
Tastes and expectations about future value.
Monetary policy has a strong link: expansionary monetary policy lowers interest rates, reduces demand for the currency, and causes depreciation (which then boosts net exports).

Enduring Understanding (MKT-5): The interaction of buyers and sellers exchanging the currency of one country for the currency of another determines the equilibrium exchange rate in a flexible exchange market and influences the flow of goods, services, and financial capital between countries.
Learning Objective MKT-5.F: Explain (using graphs as appropriate) how changes in the value of a currency can lead to changes in a country's net exports and aggregate demand.
MKT-5.F.1 Factors that cause a currency to appreciate cause that country's exports to decrease and its imports to increase. As a result, net exports will decrease.
MKT-5.F.2 Factors that cause a currency to depreciate cause that country's exports to increase and its imports to decrease. As a result, net exports will increase. [See EK MOD-2.A.3 and EK MOD-2.H.1 for explanations of the effect of changes in net exports on aggregate demand and the resulting effects on output, employment, and the price level.]
MKT-5.F.2 ปัจจัยที่ทำให้สกุลเงินลดมูลค่าจะทำให้ صادراتของประเทศนั้นเพิ่มขึ้นและการนำเข้าลดลง ผลลัพธ์คือ صادراتสุทธิจะเพิ่มขึ้น [ดู EK MOD-2.A.3 และ EK MOD-2.H.1 สำหรับการอธิบายผลกระทบของการเปลี่ยนแปลง صادراتสุทธิต่อกำลังซื้อรวมและผลกระทบที่เกิดขึ้นต่อผลผลิต การจ้างงาน และระดับราคา]

Exchange rates feed back into AD through net exports:
A depreciation makes exports cheaper for foreigners and imports dearer, so net exports rise and AD shifts right.
An appreciation makes exports dearer and imports cheaper, so net exports fall and AD shifts left.
Worked example. A US car priced at $\$30{,}000$ costs a European buyer $\text{€}27{,}000$ when $\$1=\text{€}0.90$. If the dollar depreciates to $\$1=\text{€}0.80$, the same car now costs only $\text{€}24{,}000$ – cheaper for foreigners, so US exports rise while imports (now dearer in dollars) fall, lifting net exports and shifting AD right.
This is how the foreign-exchange market and the AD-AS model connect – a currency change is a channel through which policy reaches output.

อัตราแลกเปลี่ยนส่งผลกระทบต่อ AD ผ่าน Net Exports :
การมีค่าลง ทำให้ส่งออกถูกลงสำหรับชาวต่างชาติและนำเข้าแพงขึ้น ดังนั้น Net Exports จะเพิ่มขึ้น และ AD เลื่อนไปทางขวา
การมีค่าขึ้น ทำให้ส่งออกแพงขึ้นและนำเข้าถูกลง ดังนั้น Net Exports จะลดลง และ AD เลื่อนไปทางซ้าย
ตัวอย่างวิธีทำ. รถยนต์สหรัฐฯ ราคา $\$30{,}000$ costs a European buyer $\text{€}27{,}000$ when $\$1=\text{€}0.90$. หากดอลลาร์ มีค่าลง เป็น $\$1=\text{€}0.80$, the same car now costs only $\text{€}24{,}000$ – ถูกสำหรับชาวต่างชาติ ดังนั้นการส่งออกของสหรัฐฯ เพิ่มขึ้น ในขณะที่การนำเข้า (ซึ่งตอนนี้แพงขึ้นเมื่อแปลงเป็นดอลลาร์) ลดลง ช่วยเพิ่ม Net Exports และเลื่อน AD ไปทางขวา

Enduring Understanding (MKT-5): The interaction of buyers and sellers exchanging the currency of one country for the currency of another determines the equilibrium exchange rate in a flexible exchange market and influences the flow of goods, services, and financial capital between countries.
Learning Objective MKT-5.G: Explain (using graphs as appropriate) how differences in real interest rates across countries affect financial capital flows, foreign exchange markets, and loanable funds markets.
MKT-5.G.1 In an open economy, differences in real interest rates across countries change the relative values of domestic and foreign assets. Financial capital will flow toward the country with the relatively higher interest rate. [See EK MKT-4.E.2 and EK MEA-4.A.6 for explanations of the impact on the loanable funds market and on net exports.]
MKT-5.G.2 Central banks can influence the domestic interest rate in the short run, which in turn will affect net capital inflows.

Money chases the highest real return, so capital flows 资本流动 respond to real interest rates:
A higher domestic real interest rate attracts inflows of foreign financial capital – foreigners buy domestic bonds, raising currency demand and causing appreciation.
A lower real rate causes outflows and depreciation.
This ties the whole course together: government borrowing raises the real interest rate (loanable funds), which attracts foreign capital, appreciates the currency, and reduces net exports – so a budget deficit can widen a trade deficit (the "twin deficits"). Tracing these linked effects across the loanable-funds, forex, and AD-AS graphs is the capstone skill of AP Macroeconomics.
