GENERAL MACRO DIAGRAMS Flashcards
Phases in the economic cycle
Impact of an increase in productive potential on trend GDP growth
Short run Phillips curve (trade-off between inflation and unemployment)
Laffer curve
Laffer curve showing how a reduction in the tax rate could increase total tax revenue
Laffer curve showing tax rate that creates maximum tax revenue
Alternative representation of the Laffer curve
Income inequality: Lorenz curve used to find out Gini coefficient
Income inequality: Lorenz curves used to find out Gini coefficient; Country A has less income inequality than Country B
Income inequality: Gini coefficient is area A/(areas A+B)
How two different Lorenz curves (income distributions) can give the same Gini coefficient
Kuznets curve
