  1. Welcome to Demographics School presented by Rodney Johnson President, HS Dent

  2. HS Dent Independent Economic Research Company Forecast economic change based on three key tools: 1. Demographics and demographic trends 2. Predictable consumer spending patterns, and 3. Technological innovation acceptance rates

  3. Economics Have Two Levels Macro Economics – Large trends Micro Economics – individual choices Macroeconomists are wrong about big things Microeconomists are wrong about lots of little things

  4. Economics Relies on the Rational Man Principle Each consumer will make a rational choice when faced with a trade off in his or her personal situation. Think of all the decisions you have made. Think of all the decisions you see others make. We’re screwed.

  5. Economic Change Depends on the Herd Figure out why people do things. Find the main source of economic and emotional pain in people’s lives. What is driving their decision-making? Kids. More to the point – mapping out a plan for the family.

  6. What You Will Learn Background of economics The sources of our research The statistics involved (good and bad) What the Average American looks like Three main tools of HS Dent research – demographics, predictable spending patterns, technology innovation and acceptance What lies ahead

  7. What You Will Be Able To Do Describe how modern, industrialized economies work See the next economic “season” Estimate changes to businesses, investors, and even countries Highlight the opportunities and risks in the next 3, 5,10 and 20 years

  8. Economics Malthusian Economics Classical Economics Keynesian Economics Austrian School

  9. Malthusian Economics Scarcity Current technology Population (crowd-out)

  10. Classical Economics Input of Labor All inputs are incremental Always moving toward full employment by shifting inputs to where needed

  11. Keynesian Circle

  12. Keynes’ Animal Spirits The colorful name that Keynes gave to one of the essential ingredients of economic prosperity: confidence. According to Keynes, animal spirits are a particular sort of confidence, "naive optimism". He meant this in the sense that, for entrepreneurs in particular, "the thought of ultimate loss which often overtakes pioneers, as experience undoubtedly tells us and them, is put aside as a healthy man puts aside the expectation of death". Where these animal spirits come from is something of a mystery. Certainly, attempts by politicians and others to talk up confidence by making optimistic noises about economic prospects have rarely done much good. Economist.com

  13. Basics of Hayek(Austrian School) Free markets allow best allocation of resources Government intervention (interest rates and other monetary policy ) causes mal-investment Those mal-investments must be worked out of system over time It is the BOOM that should scare you!
