Cost-push inflation발음듣기

In the last two videos, we explored situations where the aggregate demand curve shifted to the right and that caused inflation.발음듣기

That's actually called demand-pull inflation.발음듣기

What I want to do in this video is study a situation where the short-run aggregate supply curve shifts to the left and that causes inflation.발음듣기

And that's called cost-push inflation.발음듣기

So let's just start off with our standard graph.발음듣기

So this is aggregate prices. This is real aggregate productivity. Real GDP right here.발음듣기

I'm going to focus things on the short run.발음듣기

Aggregate demand right over here. That is our aggregate demand curve.발음듣기

Aggregate supply in the short-run.발음듣기

This is what we're going to focus on, might look something like that.발음듣기

So this is aggregate supply in the short-run.발음듣기

And this is our current level of prices.발음듣기

And the reason why I draw aggregate supply in the short-run as this curve that keeps getting steeper and steeper.발음듣기

Or if you think in algebraic terms, the slope keeps getting larger and larger as you go to the right.발음듣기

One way to think about it is: if the real GDP is down here and maybe performing well below potential, there is a lot of excess capacity in the economy: excess labor capacity, excess factory capacity.발음듣기

So if you want more productivity out of that economy, people aren't going to demand much more.발음듣기

Prices won't have to go up more.발음듣기

There's a lot of slack in the economy.발음듣기

While as GDP gets higher and higher, maybe even going beyond its potential, starts to get overheated and in order for people to get very high levels of utilization.발음듣기

Essentially get more people to enter the labor market, work longer hours, work overtime, the prices are going to essentially have to go up.발음듣기

So over here, for some increment in GDP, prices don't have to go up so much.발음듣기

So you have a lower slope than over here.발음듣기

For that same increment in GDP, prices have to go up dramatically.발음듣기

With that out of the way, let's think about what would happen if the aggregate supply curve were to shift to the left.발음듣기

We can also think about "Why would it shift to the left?"발음듣기

So let's just shift it to the left.발음듣기

It might look something like that.발음듣기

At any given point, I try to shift it to the left.발음듣기

You see a new equilibrium price and equilibrium GDP.발음듣기

This is the old equilibrium price and the old equilibrium GDP.발음듣기

This is the new equilibrium price and the new equilibrium GDP.발음듣기

You see, you definitely had inflation.발음듣기

Price went up, but this is worse, depending on how you view things.발음듣기

But generally, this is worse than demand-pull inflation.발음듣기

Because at least with demand-pull inflation, you had inflation happening, but real GDP increased more as things get overheated.발음듣기

Prices went up, but your GDP actually contracts.발음듣기

This is a situation where you might have heard the word before: this is stagflation.발음듣기

Inflation with stagnation. So this is stagflation.발음듣기

There's two very notable examples of this in recent US history.발음듣기

In 1973, you had the Arab oil embargo.발음듣기

It was apparently due in response to the US support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War.발음듣기

So you had the 1973 oil embargo.발음듣기

In 1979, you have your revolution in Iran.발음듣기

Iran was a major oil producer then.발음듣기

It continues to be, but it was particularly so in 1979.발음듣기

So, during all the chaos, during the revolution, Iran's oil productivity dropped dramatically.발음듣기

So you had an oil crisis.발음듣기

The reason why oil crises would shift the curve to the left...발음듣기

In both of these situations, the supply of oil drops dramatically.발음듣기

So if the supply of oil, and this is kind of a micro-phenomenon, if the supply of something drops dramatically, the price of that thing is going to go up dramatically.발음듣기

And in the 70's, oil was an even bigger part of the economy than it is now.발음듣기

You probably remember if you were around in the 70's.발음듣기

Very very large cars that had very bad gas mileage.발음듣기

Other uses of oil were also much less efficient in the 1970s.발음듣기

So it was a big input into the US economy.발음듣기

If all of a sudden, a major input's price becomes much more expensive, you could view it as one of two ways: For a given level of productivity, suppliers will want to charge more.발음듣기

If you want me to deliver to your house, if you want me to run a truck, so for a given level of productivity, suppliers will charge more.발음듣기

Or you could view that at a given level of price, suppliers will want to produce less.발음듣기

So at a given price, say this price over here, a supplier will want to produce less.발음듣기

Because they are not getting as much real profit.발음듣기

So you could view it as a shift to the left.발음듣기

Or you could even view it at a given level of productivity, if you want to produce at that level, you're going to have to pay me more so I can offset my price increases.발음듣기

So you can also view it as a shift up. Either one.발음듣기

But we'll think of it as a shift left in this context.발음듣기

So you see, this does describe what happened during these two oil crises in the 1970's.발음듣기

Because of this increase in the price of oil, at any given price, suppliers were willing to supply less.발음듣기

Aggregate short-run supply shifts to the left.발음듣기

You have the inflation, and you also have the stagnation.발음듣기
