Title: feedback on my definitions for the goals
Post by: IThinkIFailed on March 28, 2019, 09:43:03 am
Goal of Strong and Sustainable economic growth:
This goal refers to the fastest rate of increase in production of goods and services in an economy so as to cause employment growth, while minimising inflationary, external and environmental pressures. Currently, this is assumed to be between 3-3.5%.

Some areas I’m not sure about in this definition: Should I use the word assume? I can’t think of any other word to use.

Goal of Full employment: This goal refers to the level of unemployment achieved when the strong and sustainable economic growth objective is achieved (i.e 3-3.5%) and cyclical unemployment (caused by deficiencies in aggregate demand) is minimised.

Some areas I’m not sure about: Should I say cyclical unemployment is minimised or non existent?
Also, should I include something about NAIRU or inflationary pressures or natural rate of unemployment?

Mr Avery’s gonna REEEEEE, if you say cyclical unemployment is eradicated. Technically, there’s always some form of every unemployment, so it’s best to say minimised.

PM me if anyone is looking for tutoring.

Hey, at the moment i've only covered strong and sustainable economic growth and the goal of low inflation. For strong and sustainable growth, I would say the following;

The government’s goal for strong and sustainable economic growth is to achieve the highest increase in the level of national production possible, consistent with strong employment growth, but without running into unacceptable inflationary, external or environmental pressures.
A growth rate of between 3-3.5% per annum is considered sustainable in Australia’s current economic climate.

If you want to add to this and if there's a question asking you to be more specific, you could say the following;

Strong economic growth is more specifically aiming to increase the overall material living standards in Australia, whereas sustainable economic growth is ensuring that other government goals (low inflation and full employment) are met simultaneously, while also ensuring resources are not overused in order to maintain inter-temporal efficiency.

Thanks for the help, I think your definition for economic growth is better than mine.
