Page 1: Fundamentals of Price Stability and Inflation

This page introduces core concepts of price stability and inflation measurement in economics. The content explores the relationship between general price levels and purchasing power, alongside methods for calculating inflation's effects.

Definition: Price stability in economics refers to a condition where the general price level remains relatively constant over time.

Vocabulary: The Consumer Price Index CPICPI is a key measurement tool that uses a weighted basket of goods and services to track price changes over time.

Example: A practical calculation shows how a 10% inflation rate affects a £5 item, resulting in a new price of £5.50 through the formula: original price × 1+inflationrate/1001 + inflation rate/100.

Highlight: The distinction between real and nominal values is crucial for understanding economic comparisons over time, particularly in relation to interest rates and income.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better.
