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
