Experienced Economics Educator | 8+ Years Teaching Guiding Students Toward Strong Concepts & Top Results

Student and Tutor reviewed the Quantity Theory of Money, its growth rate approximation, and the Fisher Effect. They discussed the concepts of money illusion, inflation tax, and how unexpected inflation redistributes purchasing power. The session concluded with an in-depth practice on an in-class assignment applying these economic principles, with plans to continue from where they left off in the next session.

The Student and Tutor continued their detailed review of the Quantity Theory of Money, exploring concepts such as velocity, real GDP, and the relationship between money growth and inflation. They then initiated a new topic, discussing the Federal Reserve System, its functions, the forms of money, and liquidity. The session concluded with an introduction to fractional reserve banking, with the plan to complete remaining numerical problems and the current topic in the next class.

The Student and Tutor reviewed advanced macroeconomic concepts related to economic growth models. They focused on technological progress in the Solow model, the Golden Rule of capital accumulation, and the basics of endogenous growth theory, including the AK model. They discussed the growth rates of various economic indicators and planned to continue from the current point in the next session.

The Tutor and Student conducted a detailed revision and learning session on key macroeconomic concepts including inflation, CPI, GDP deflator, and the quantity theory of money. They reviewed definitions, calculation methods, and real-world applications of these economic indicators. The Student and Tutor planned to continue with the quantity theory of money, practice related questions, and cover additional chapters in upcoming sessions to prepare for the Student's macroeconomics test.

The Student and Tutor extensively reviewed key macroeconomic concepts, including the definition and calculation of inflation, disinflation, and deflation. They thoroughly examined different price indexes such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), GDP Deflator, and Producer Price Index (PPI), practicing numerical examples to solidify understanding. The plan is to tackle more practice questions and revisit these concepts in the next session before moving on to new material.

The Student and Tutor worked through an in-class assignment focused on calculating nominal GDP and GNP for a hypothetical economy. They applied both the national spending and factor income approaches, carefully classifying transactions, calculating values for various economic components, and addressing specific challenges in profit and expense allocation. The next session is planned to cover real GDP calculations using base year prices.
