  1. Encore Presentation on Unemployment

  2. Additional types of unemployment You remember the three types we talked about last time right Rubber Duck Boy? What are they young man?

  3. Unemployment when we are not at potential GDP The three types of unemployment we discussed last class all exist even if the economy is at the full employment level of GDP. But what kinds of unemployment exists when we are in a recessionary gap?

  4. Real Wage Unemployment This type of unemployment occurs when there is a disequilibrium in the labour market. It appears when the actual real wage is greater than the equilibrium real wage giving rise to a labour surplus. How can this happen Ms. Yeung?

  5. Real Wage Unemployment

  6. Artificially high wage rates leads to a decrease in SRAS

  7. How to fix this problem? The artificially high wage rates can be reduced if we destroy unions and lower or eliminate minimum wage….but you can’t force firms to pay workers less….but some would argue that SRAS would shift to the right

  8. Economic Cat Fight During the Great Depression, classical economists argued the high unemployment rate was caused by artificially high wages. Keynes of course, thought they were ignorant

  9. Keynes’ Explanation Keynes argued that there was insufficient aggregate demand in the economy, caused by pessimistic business expectations which led to a virtual standstill in private investment. When the animal spirits are quiet, so is the economy.

  10. Cyclical Unemployment Keynes’ argument against real wage unemployment led to the idea of cyclical unemployment, aka demand-deficient unemployment….but some still argue that unemployment is caused by high wages

  11. Cyclical Unemployment Cyclical Unemployment occurs when the economy is in a recessionary gap caused by a decline in AD. Eliminate the recessionary gap and you eliminate Cyclical Unemployment, leaving just the other three types of unemployment.

  12. Keynesian solution to Cyclical Unemployment
