Unreferenced date December 2009 Image economics supply shock.png thumb right 240px Negative supply shock A supply shock is an event that suddenly changes the price of a commodity or Service economics service . It may be caused by a sudden increase or decrease in the Supply economics supply of a particular good. This sudden change affects the equilibrium price . A negative supply shock sudden supply decrease will raise prices and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left. A negative supply shock can cause stagflation due to a combination of raising prices and falling output. A positive supply shock an increase in supply will lower the price of said good and shift the aggregate supply curve to the right. A positive supply shock could be an advance in technology a technology shocks technology shock which makes production more efficient, thus increasing output. An example of a negative supply shock is the increase in oil prices during the 1973 energy crisis . Technical analysis The diagram to the right demonstrates a negative supply shock The initial position is at point A, producing Y sub 1 sub quantity, at P sub 1 sub prices. Then there is a supply shock, this has an adverse effect on aggregate supply, the supply curve shifts left from AS sub 1 sub to AS sub 2 sub , while the demand curve stays in the same position. The intersection of the supply and demand curves has now moved and the equilibrium is now point B, quantity has been reduced to Y sub 2 sub , while prices have been increased to P sub 2 sub .

Problems of the cabinet were the release of war criminals three of Breda and the increasing inflation, combined with a stagnating economy stagflation .

Minister Stuyt, the first minister for natural environment environmental affairs, issued an urgency note concerning the environment. In 1972, the first report from the Club of Rome was published, which showed that the environment is in a bad state worldwide and that resources will eventually run out.

An online savings account OSA is a savings account managed and funded primarily on the Internet . Features OSAs are often characterized by a higher interest rate or lower fees, compared with traditional savings accounts. Many of these high yield accounts have no minimum balance. Account holders may link their OSAs to their existing external bank accounts for easy transfer of funds between multiple accounts. Some also offer ATM card s so customers can directly access the funds in their OSAs. Deposits and Withdrawals Some banks offering OSA s may not have bank branches and a customer may deposit funds into their account by either ACH transfer, mailing in a cheque , or direct deposit. To withdraw money, customers can initiate an ACH transfer into another account or sometimes request a cheque from the bank in the desired amount. Changes in banking and investing OSAs, combined with rising interest rate s, have made cash an increasingly attractive investment option. They provide a relatively low risk option for investors looking for a place to park their money, especially in uncertain economic times. Inflation , stagflation , recessionary fears and stock market volatility are among the economic indicators that have encouraged more and more investors to consider cash as a way to balance their portfolios. In fact, more than 8.5 million customers signed up for OSAs with leading U.S. banks in 2005 alone and some industry experts estimate the Online Savings Account market will triple in size, from 250 billion to 400 billion by 2010. ref comScore Networks ref ref Boston Consulting Group ref See also Direct bank Online banking Specific examples HSBC HSBC Direct HSBC Direct ING Group ING Direct ING Direct Notes references Category Banking technology Category Electronic commerce econ stub ... more details

Agflation , a term coined in the late first decade of the 21st century, describes generalised inflation led by rises in Agricultural commodity prices. In the United States , agricultural prices are not generally factored into core inflation figures.

The zero interest rate policy is a macroeconomic concept describing conditions with a very low nominal interest rate , such as those in contemporary Japan and, since December 16, 2008, in the United States . It can be associated with slow economic growth. Under ZIRP, the central bank maintains a 0 nominal interest rate . The ZIRP is an important milestone in monetary policy because the central bank is no longer able to reduce nominal interest rates. Monetary policy is at its maximum potential to drive growth under ZIRP, because the central bank has no more tools left to stimulate borrowing. ZIRP is very closely related to the problem of a liquidity trap , where nominal interest rates cannot adjust downward at a time when the loanable funds market has not cleared. When monetary policy is already used to maximum effect, to create further jobs, governments must use fiscal policy . The fiscal multiplier of government spending is expected to be larger when nominal interest rates are zero than they would be when nominal interest rates are above zero. Keynesian economics holds that the multiplier is above one, meaning government spending effectively boosts output. In his paper on this topic, Michael Woodford economist Michael Woodford finds that, in a ZIRP situation, the optimal policy for government is to spend enough in stimulus to cover the entire output gap . ref Woodford, Michael.

seealso Energy demand management references date April 2012 wikify date April 2012 Demand management is a planning methodology used to manage and forecast the demand of products and services. Demand management in economics In economics , demand management is the art or science of controlling economic demand to avoid a recession . In natural resources management and environmental policy more generally, it refers to policies to control consumer demand for environmentally sensitive or harmful goods such as water and energy. Within manufacturing firms the term is used to describe the activities of demand forecasting, planning, and order fulfillment. In economics the term is also used to refer to management of the distribution of, and access to goods and services on the basis of needs. An example is social security and Welfare financial aid welfare services. Rather than increasing budgets for these things, governments may develop policies that allocate existing resources according to a hierarchy of needs. It is inspired by Keynes ian macroeconomics , though today elements of it are part of the economic mainstream. The underlying idea is for the government to use tools like interest rate s, taxation , and public expenditure to change key economic decisions like consumption economics consumption , investment , the balance of trade , and Government debt public sector borrowing resulting in an evening out of the business cycle . Demand management was widely adopted in the 1950s to 1970s, and was for a time successful. However, it is widely regarded as a force behind the stagflation of the 1970s, though the supply shock caused by the 1973 oil crisis could have also caused that. Theoretical criticisms of demand management are that it relies on a long run Phillips Curve for which there is no evidence, and that it produces policy dynamic inconsistency and can therefore be non credible. Today, most governments relatively limit interventions in demand management to tackling short ... more details
