Document Summary

Mpc and mps: mpc is the slope of the consumption function, mps is the slope of the saving function. Consumption expenditure minus imports: autonomous expenditure. The sum of investment, government expenditure, and exports. Equilibrium expenditure: the level of aggregate expenditure that occurs when aggregate planned expenditure equals real gdp, when aggregate planned expenditure exceeds real gdp. Inventories decrease, rms increase production, real gdp increases: when aggregate planned expenditure is less than real gdp. Inventories increase, rms decrease production, real gdp decreases. Multiplier: change in equilibrium expenditure divided by the change in autonomous expenditure, imports and income taxes make it smaller. Changes in aggregate demand: a change in the price level shifts the ae curve and results in movement along the. Ad curve: if some factor other than a change in price level increase autonomous expenditure. The ae curve shifts upward and the ad curve shifts rightward. #1: an increase in aggregate demand in the short run.

Why is there a "two-way" link between consumption and GDP? â¢ How does an increase in disposable income affect the consumption function? An increase in expected future income? â¢ If the consumption function shifts upward, what happens to the saving function? Why? â¢ When is actual aggregate expenditure different from planned aggregate expenditure? Why happens to being the two back to equality? â¢ Explain why income taxes reduce the size of the expenditure multiplier. â¢ When the equilibrium real GDP is below potential GDP, how does the unemployment rate compare with the natural rate? What is the results of this state of affairs that restores the long-run equilibrium? â¢ What is a recessionary gap? How does the economy adjust to eliminate a recessionary gap?
