Macroeconomics, the study of the economy as whole, attempts to answer these and many related questions To appreciate the importance of macroeconomics, you need only read the newspaper or listen to the news.

Voters are aware of how the economy is doing, and they know that government policy can affect the economy in powerful ways.

A TSI Graphics Worth Mankiw Economics 5e HAPTER 1 The science of macro Although the job of making economic policy falls to world leaders, the job of explaining how the economy as a whole works falls to macroeconomists. Toward his end, macroeconomists collect data on incomes, prices, unemployment, and many other variables from different time periods and different countries. They then attempt to formulate general theories that help to explain these data. Like astronomers studying the evolution of stars or biologists studying the evolution of species, macroeconomists cannot conduct controlled experiments. Instead, they must make use of the data that history gives them. Macroeconomists ob serve that economies differ from one another and that they change over time These observations provide both the motivation for developing macroeconomic theories and the data for testing them. To be sure, macroeconomics is a young and imperfect science. The macro- onomist's ability to predict the future course of economic events is no better than the meteorologist's ability to predict next month's weather. But, as you will see,macroeconomists do know quite a lot about how the economy works. This knowledge is useful both for explaining economic events and for formulating economic policy. n Every era has its own economic problems. In the 1970s, Presidents Richard xon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter all wrestled in vain with a rising rate of inflation. In the 1980s, inflation subsided but Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush presided over large federal budget deficits In the 1990s, with Pres- ident Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, the budget deficit shrank and even turned into a budget surplus, but federal taxes as a share of national income reached a historic high. So it was no surprise that when President George W. Bush moved into the White House in 2001, he put a tax cut high on his agenda. The basic principles of macroeconomics do not change from decade to decade, but the macroeconomist must apply these principles with fexibility and creativity to meet changing circumstances CASE STUDY The Historical Performance of the U.S. Economy Economists use many types of data to measure the performance of an economy. Three macroeconomic variables are especially important: real gross domestic product(GDP), the inflation rate, and the unemployment rate. Real GDP mea- sures the total income of everyone in the economy(adjusted for the level of prices). The inflation rate measures how fast prices are rising. The unemploy ment rate measures the fraction of the labor force that is out of work. macro economists study how these variables are determined, why they change over time, and how they interact with Figure 1-1 shows real GDP per person in the United States.

Imagine that an economist were interested in figuring out what factors influence the price of pizza and the quantity of pizza sold. He or she would develop a model that described the be- havior of pizza buyers, the behavior of pizza sellers, and their interaction in the market for pizza. For example, the economist supposes that the quantity of pizza demanded by consumers Qd depends on the price of pizza P and on aggregate income Y. This relationship is expressed in the equation DOp where D()represents the demand function.

Finally, the economist assumes that the price of pizza adjusts to bring the quantity supplied and quantity demanded into These three equations compose a model of the market for pizza The economist illustrates the model with a supply-and-demand diagram, as in Figure 1-5. The demand curve shows the relationship between the quantity of pizza demanded and the price of pizza, while holding aggregate income con- stant. The demand curve slopes downward because a higher price of pizza en- ourages consumers to switch to other foods and buy less pizza. The supply curve shows the relationship between the quantity of pizza supplied and the price of pizza, while holding the price of materials constant. The supply curve slopes u ward because a higher price of pizza makes selling pizza more profitable, which encourages pizzerias to produce more of it.

The supply curve is an upward￾sloping curve relating the price of pizza to the quantity of pizza that pizzerias supply.

Similarly, if the price of materials increases, then the supply of pizza decreases, as in panel (b) of Figure 1-6. The model shows that in this case the equilibrium price of pizza rises and the equilibrium quantity of pizza falls.Thus, the model shows how changes in aggregate income or in the price of materials affect price and quantity in the market for pizza. CHAPTER 1 The Science of Macroeconomics | 9 figure 1-6 Price of pizza, P D2 D1 Q1 Q2 P1 P2 S Quantity of pizza, Q S2 S1 Q2 Q1 P2 P1 D Price of pizza, P Quantity of pizza, Q ( ) (b) A Shift in Supply Changes in Equilibrium In panel (a), a rise in aggregate income causes the demand for pizza to increase: at any given price, consumers now want to buy more pizza. This is represented by a rightward shift in the demand curve from D1 to D2. The market moves to the new intersection of supply and demand. The equilibrium price rises from P1 to P2, and the equilibrium quantity of pizza rises from Q1 to Q2. In panel (b), a rise in the price of materials decreases the supply of pizza: at any given price, pizzerias find that the sale of pizza is less profitable and therefore choose to produce less pizza. This is represented by a leftward shift in the supply curve from S1 to S2. The market moves to the new intersection of supply and demand. The equilibrium price rises from P1 to P2, and the equilibrium quantity falls from Q1 to Q2
