Lecture 3 - National Income Determination
Demand (AD) for the final goods and services Equilibrium Condition: AS = AD Equilibrium = economic stability
used in the production of final goods and services for a particular period of timed Y=C+S Y: Total Income C: Consumption S: Savings
final goods and services Z=C+I Z = Aggregate Demand C = Consumption Expenditures I = Investment Expenditures
Y=Z
C+S=C+I
S=I
Savings
Part of national income for nonconsumption
into the system must be undertaken to maintain the equilibrium in the economy Investments
A form of deman that purchases the final goods and services not
consumed by households
Consumption (C)
Influenced positively by the level of national income (NI),
to savings
Consumption (C)
Consumption Function Relationship describing the factors that influence the level of consumption expenditures in the economy C = C0 + cY C0: autonomous consumption cY: income-led consumption c: marginal propensity to consume (mpc) proportion of the additional income used in additional consumption; additional consumption per unit increase in the level of national income
Savings
Savings Function Complement of the consumption function S = -C0 + sY -Co: autonomous savings sY: level of savings that is influenced by the level of income s: marginal propensity to save influence of a unit change in NI
Investment (I)
Independently determined from the level of national income
I = I0
Y = C0 + cY + I0
Y Co cY = Io
-Co + (1 c)Y = I0
-Co + sY = Io
expenditures on national income Cumulative effect of an initial expenditure on subsequent expenditures and income Multiplier: a number that measures the increase in national income due to an increase in autonomous expenditures
Y=Z
Y = Co + cY + Io
Y cY = Co + Io
Y (1 c) = Co + Io
Y=Z
Y = Co + cY + Io + I
Y cY = Co + Io + I
Y (1 c) = Co + Io + I
Y2 = 1/ (1-c) * (Co + Io + I)
Y = Y2 Y1
Y = [1/ (1-c) * (Co + Io + I)] [1/ (1-c) * (Co + Io)]
Y = 1/ (1 c) * I
Y/ I = 1/ (1 c) multiplier
Y<Z
C+S<C+I
S<I
Excess aggregate demand -> inflationary pressure
Y>Z
C+S>C+I
S>I
Lack of Demand
