I am looking to explain economic principles / ideas/ recent developments in economics. I can’t promise to answer, but will try if it meets the criteria below.

  • Please don’t ask me to do your coursework / assignment e.t.c. (I can usually tell if it is a homework question!)

  • The question and answer will be published here so that everyone can see it (including your teacher!)
  • I aim to try and simplify economics; as a rough guide, I would aim at an understanding similar to a good British A Level student.

  5. Although you and others have covered the topic, I maintain Keynes’ multiplier is misunderstood. I cannot comprehend how production of goods (not sevices) can increase faster than the money supply. Inject $1 into the economic system and only $1 dollar is available for new production and, after costs, then available for spending on that production. Until the new production, that dollar can only serve to increase prices of available production or incease savings. Where is the multiplier? More complete analysis is available at an article http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Keynes_Multiplier_is_Actually_a_Divider.html

  6. Dear Sir, I recently posted this excerpt from your economics help page:

    (Negative bond yields – definition and explanation)

    “Deflation. If a country experiences deflation (e.g. inflation rate of -1%), then a negative nominal bond yield of -0.04% still can give a real positive return for the investor, because the bond is falling in value at a slower rate than cash reserves because of deflation.”

    A fella commented back:

    “Wrong. Cash reserves will outpace a negative bond return.”

    my question: who is right?
