Understanding Inflation and Price Indices

The document discusses inflation, defining it as the rise in the general price level of goods and services over time, which decreases purchasing power. It explains how inflation is measured using price indices such as the GNP Deflator, Producer Price Index (PPI), and Consumer Price Index (CPI), and provides formulas for calculating inflation rates. Additionally, it covers theories of inflation, including demand-pull and cost-push inflation, and highlights the importance of understanding purchasing power in the context of inflation.

INFLATION

Organizational
Leadership
Chapter 8

Prepared by: MARK J. BONIFACIO


Inflation
Is the rise in the general level of prices
of goods and services in an economy
over a period of time.
Thus, if there is inflation
there is a general upward
movement in the prices of
goods and services in an
economy.
Therefore, we can translate that:

Purchasing
Price level
Power
increases
decreases
P500.00

= 50 year 2015
P500.00

= 50 year 2015
P500.00

= 70 year 2022
P500.00

= 70 year 2022
In measuring inflation, an aggregate
representation of prices of commodities is
needed.

Such a general price level is represented


through a price index.
3 ways to get the Price Index?

1. GNP Deflator
2. Producer Price Index (PPI)
3. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
1. GNP Deflator
GNP deflator is an economic metric that
accounts for the effects of inflation in the
current year's gross national product.
GNP Deflator formula

GNP Nominal GNP


Deflator = Real GNP
X 100
2. Producer Price Index (PPI)

The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures


the average change over time in selling
prices received by domestic producers of
goods and services
Producer Price Index formula

PPI = Base price of

2. Consumer Price Index (CPI)

The Consumer Price Index measures the


overall change in consumer prices based on
a representative basket of goods and
services over time.
What is Basket of Goods?
The basket of goods
and services is meant
to represent a typical
family's spending.
In economics, the term
basket of goods refers to a
fixed set of consumer goods
or services, the prices of
which are used to measure
a nation's rate of inflation.

Solve:
Emily recently started tracking her monthly expenses to
understand how inflation is affecting her budget. In
January, her total expenses were P2,000. Over the next
six months, the total expenses increased to P2,300 in
July.

Calculate the inflation rate for this period and determine


the average monthly inflation rate.
Solve:
David is a college student who regularly buys a basket of
goods to meet his basic needs. In January, the total cost
of his basket of goods was P3,520. Over the next four
months, the cost of the same basket increased to P4,225
in May.

Calculate the inflation rate for this period and determine


the average monthly inflation rate.
THEORIES OF
INFLATION
Demand-pull Inflation

• The most popular type of


inflation, in which is a rise in the
general price level resulting
from an excess of aggregate
demand or the total spending.

• Typically, demand-pull inflation

is associated with an economic
boom.
Demand-pull Inflation

• Demand-pull inflation occurs


because quantity demanded is
greater than quantity supplied
which tends to increases prices.
The demand-side is pulling
prices up with increased income

Cost – push Inflation

• The Cost-push inflation is an


excess of total spending is not the
only possible explanation for
rising price

• Cost-push inflation is a rise in the

general level of prices resulting
from an increase in the cost of
product.
Cost – push Inflation

• We should remember however


that the source of cost-push
inflation is not always due to
the increased in price of oil.
Any sharp increase in cost of

be potential source of cost-
push inflation.
Potential source of cost-push inflation

• Rising labor cost perhaps due to an increased minimum wage


• Higher global price for component and raw materials including
imported energy and foodstuffs
• A depreciation in the external value of the exchange rate
which then causes a rise in imports prices
• An increase in indirect taxes such as higher VAT, etc.

POWER OF THANKS
MONEY
What is Purchasing Power?

Purchasing power is the value of a currency


expressed in terms of the number of goods
or services that one unit of money can buy.
PURCHASING POWER

• When inflation occurs, the price levels rise


meaning more money are required to buy
certain basket of goods.

• The Purchasing Power of Money indicates


how many market baskets of goods can be
purchased with one unit of money.

Core inflation
• Is a widely used measure of the underlying trend or movement in
the average consumer prices. It is often used as a complementary
indicator to what is known as "headline or Consumer Price Index
(CPI) inflation. Core inflation measures the change in average
consumer price after excluding from the CPI certain items with
volatile price movements. By stripping out the volatile components
of the CPI, core inflation allows to see the broad underlying trend in
consumer prices.

• Core inflation is often used as an indicator of the long-term inflation


trend and as indicator of future inflation. It is usually affected by the
amount of money in the economy relative to production, of by
monetary policy
headline inflation
Headline Inflation

• Refers to the rate of change in the consumer price index, a measure of


the average price of a standard basket' of goods and services
consumed by a typical family. In the Philippines, the CPI basket is
composed of various consumer items as determined by the nationwide
Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) conducted every three
years by the PSA.
• Headline inflation, therefore, captures the changes in the cost of living
based on the movements of the prices of items in the basket of
commodities and services consumed by the typical Filipino household
