Btw, typically economists talk about leftward and rightward shifts, it’s a bit more precise than “out” and “in”

2020-03-09 15:14:39 UTC  

Deflation also causes a decline of wages. So while what you’re saying is technically true, it’s not applicable to everyone in the economy.

2020-03-09 15:15:02 UTC  

Deflation doesn’t cause a decline in wages, what you’re referring to is demand side deflation. Say in a recession the demand for widgets falls, so the workers producing these widgets see their wages decline, all things constant.

2020-03-09 15:15:13 UTC  

Supply side deflation ends up raising real incomes, for obvious reasons.

2020-03-09 15:16:35 UTC  

When short run aggregate supply shifts right, what happens to the price level?

2020-03-09 15:16:49 UTC  

Falls.

2020-03-09 15:16:56 UTC  

This is pretty good, as it’s economic growth.

2020-03-09 15:16:59 UTC  

And what impact does that have on wages?

2020-03-09 15:17:02 UTC  

Rise.

2020-03-09 15:17:24 UTC  

Wages don’t rise when the price level falls

2020-03-09 15:17:45 UTC  

Have wages been falling for people in the computer industry? The prices of those have been falling too.

2020-03-09 15:18:07 UTC  

I don’t know what’s happened to real wages in the computer industry

2020-03-09 15:18:10 UTC  

So I can’t comment

2020-03-09 15:18:18 UTC  

As workers get more productive, they’re able to produce more obviously. Causing a reduction in the price of such goods - but also an increase in wages.

2020-03-09 15:18:35 UTC  

Since workers are paid on their marginal product, both wages and prices rise/decline respectively.

2020-03-09 15:19:02 UTC  

This is the case for oil prices now, the supply curve will shift out causing a reduction in prices; a rise in real income.

2020-03-09 15:19:07 UTC  

Deflation refers to price deflation.

2020-03-09 15:20:07 UTC  

Yeah you might also be thinking of monetary deflation too, this is a reduction in the money supply. @abby_ella - not relevant here.

Hapakala donut

2020-03-09 23:20:44 UTC  

We're heading into a recession and the reason is depressed demand, for oil and everything else except hand sanitizer

2020-03-09 23:20:44 UTC  

GG @DrYuriMom, you just advanced to level 7!

2020-03-09 23:21:19 UTC  

I don't have or want to debate it endlessly. We'll see it and so there's no point.

2020-03-10 05:43:04 UTC  

I can agree with this statement, your actually right.

2020-03-10 07:47:33 UTC  

@DrYuriMom We aren’t heading for a recession.

2020-03-10 07:48:50 UTC  

The stock market dropping isn’t indicative of a recession because: the oil prices falling are due to an increase in supply - this is actually beneficial for the economy.

2020-03-10 12:14:31 UTC  

*was dropping

2020-03-10 13:33:14 UTC  

imagine taxing the rich

2020-03-10 14:44:44 UTC  

They are people too, they need to be taxed

2020-03-10 14:44:49 UTC  

Like everyone else

2020-03-10 22:57:59 UTC

Trade one of your child slaves for a 7.62 and blow their fucking head off

2020-03-10 23:54:21 UTC  

But do it from a distance, don’t get to close to their property or everyone else will blow your fucking skull in for tresspassing

2020-03-10 23:56:25 UTC
