Front Back
Z = C + I + G
Demand for goods, Z, in a closed economy
What is C stand for?
Consumption
What does YD stand for?
Disposable income
What is the equation for Consumption?
C= C(YD) = consumption function (+)or = c0 + c1YDor = c0 + c1(Y-T)
C = c0 + c1YD
C1 = propensity to consumec0 = what people would consume if their disposable income were zero
YD = Y - T
Disposable IncomeY = incomeT = taxes paid minus government transfers
Example of exogenous variables
Investment, taxes, and government spending
Taxes and Government spending =
Fiscal Policy
Equilibrium in goods market =
Production, Y, be equal to the demand for goods, Z
Multiplier
-number which multiplies autonomous spending-closer c1 is is to 1, the larger the multiplier-changes output by more than its direct effect on spending=1/(1-c1)
Production depends on demand, leads to an increase in production and increase in income
Leads to further increase in demand, further increase in production...initial is bigger by a factor of the multiplier
Saving
Sum of private saving and public saving
Private saving (S)
Saving by the consumers= disposable income minus consumption
Production formula
I = S + (T-G)(T-G) = public saving
I S Relation definition
Investment = Savingswhat firms want to invest has to equal what the people and the gov. want to save
