The videos are amazing, after listening to hours of it they tend to get a bit monotonous coz of the voice and everything, but a single attention grabbing phrase can actually help, like when Sir said "I am probably killing the pronunciation" that got me back in attention. Please keep doing that so we don't sleep listening to it.
You explain very well every concept, and coming back again and again to already studied concepts, really help knowledge consolidation. very well !! congratulations !! I regret not finding you guys before xD
Analyst focusing on short term inflation would focus on Core inflation as Core inflation excludes Food and energy prices, right? Video says the opposite. Can anyone please clarity?
These videos are really helpful. Thank you for uploading these here. The slides are extremely useful and covers most of the key points. Is there a way we can print these slides as its a great guide for revisions ?
Because it says in the question that the index from base year is set to be 100. But in real calculation you don't have to. It's just an easier way to compare the two numbers when the one from base year is 100.

at 20:25 since lras is the level is optimal emplyoment and if sras is beyod lras that means economy is running at over full employment so why here you said employment is at lower level
According to the monetarist argument, if there surplus money in the economy and fewer goods than this will lead to inflation. In simple words, if the money supply grows faster than the GDP growth, this would mean that the money in the economy is growing faster than the growth in available goods which would eventually result in higher prices.

Dear Rajashekhar, The data used here is different from the data in the curriculum, but the concept is the same. Understand the concept by listening to this video and then work through the example on your own. This will help you internalize the concept. IFT Support Team

I have a question: at 13:55, why is the Fisher index sqrt(120 * 120.9)? Where did the 120 come from? Did you mean to say "121"?
120 came from earlier calculation using Laspeyres method.

hello IFT,
may I ask (@10:58 Laspeyres index example, why we are dividing the 1630 with again 1630 and multiplying by 100)? please advise

I dont think the videos are linked with the correct examples in this set of lectures.
The lecture is not updated for changes in Example numbers. Please refer to curriculum for correct number.
