  2. Everything You Need To Know About Inflation… • Write your name at the very top • Write down the description for each turn • Then, before we move on, STOP, DROP, and DRAW a visual representation/ symbol for each turn!!!

  3. Inflation • A gradual increase in prices over time. The U.S. economy hopes to maintain an annual increase in inflation at 3-4% annually.

  4. Creeping Inflation • Inflation at 2-3%...the U.S. has come to expect at least this much inflation every year.

  5. Deflation • Although prices increase gradually over time, there are times when prices can fall and decrease. For example, there was a period of deflation when prices fell over 50% during the height of the Great Depression.

  6. Unanticipated Inflation • Inflation at a rate which was greater than the rate expected for that period of time. • *Creditors & individuals that live on Fixed Income=losers!!! • *Debtors=winners!!!

  7. Anticipated Inflation • Inflation at a rate equal to the rate expected in that period. When inflation is fully anticipated, there are no winners and losers.

  8. “COLA” (cost of living adjustment) • Most wage earners protect themselves by having a clause in their contract where inflation must be taken into account. If there is higher inflation, then their income must increase accordingly.

  9. Hyperinflation • A very rapid rise in the price level. Prices are rising way to fast.

  10. Stagflation • Inflation coupled with stagnate growth (low GDP).

  11. Nominal Value • The value of a good or service before inflation is taken into consideration

  12. Real Value • The value of a good or service after inflation is taken into account.
