  1. The New Economy – what was so new about it?

  2. Check out the “port” variables in the next slide • According to our speed limits, we were speeding……unless the speed limit has changed??? Maybe the port had moved during this tie!

  3. Recall the implications of a surge in productivity growth: What are some priors??? • What about Real wages?? • What about profits and thus the value of the stock market? • What about labor market conditions? • What about economic growth? • What about inflation?

  4. First pic – the percent change in nominal wages.

  6. So real wages were rising, since the percent change in nominal wages exceeded the percent change in prices

  7. What are the implications on the amount of people employed?

  8. So more people are working and they are making a higher real wage since they are more productive
