1. Autonomous Investment
– Autonomous investment is fixed and independent of
income.
– The amount of investment can be influenced by other
factors such as interest rate, repayment rate, business
expectation and technology developments.
2. Induced Investment
– Induced investment depends on the national income.
– As national income increases, the induced investment will
also increase since higher national income attracts more
investors to invest.

EQUILIBRIUM IN
TWO-SECTOR ECONOMY (cont.)
AD –AS APPROACH
Equilibrium is achieved when aggregate demand is equal to aggregate supply.
AS = AD
Y = C+I
Algebra Analysis
Given the following information. Autonomous consumption = 100; MPC = 0.7; Autonomous
Investment = 500
Solution
Consumption function, C = 100 + 0.7Yd (In two sector economy, Yd = Y since no tax)
Y = C+I
= 100 + 0.7Y + 500
Y – 0.7Y = 600
0.3Y = 600
Y = 600/0.3

AD–AS APPROACH
Equilibrium is achieved when aggregate demand is equal to aggregate supply.
AS = AD
Y = C + I + G + (X-M)
Algebra Analysis
Given the following information. C = 200 + 0.75 Y d ; I = 100; G = 50; T = 100 ;
X = 100; M = 50
Solution
Y = C + I + G + (X – M)
= 200 + 0.75(Y – T) + 100 + 50 + (100 – 50)
= 400 + 0.75 (Y –100)
= 400 + 0.75Y – 75
Y – 0.75Y = 325
0.25Y = 325
Y = 325/0.25

Given, C = 200 + 0.75Y and I = 100. What is the equilibrium income level when there is an
increase in investment by 50 million?
Solutions:
Y = Ki x I New equilibrium income level = Y + Y
= 1/(1-MPC) x I = 1100 + 200
= 1 /(1-0.75) x 50 = 1300 m
Y = 200 million

MULTIPLIER CONCEPT (cont.)
GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE MULTIPLIER
The government expenditure multiplier refers to the ratio of the change in the
equilibrium income to a change in government expenditure assuming there is
no change in taxes.
Kg = Change in Income (Y)
Change in Government Expenditure (G)
Government expenditure multiplier can also derived as follows:
Government Expenditure Multiplier (Kg) = 1 = 1
1-MPC MPS
Example
Given, C = 200 + 0.75Y; I = 100 and G = 50. What is the equilibrium income level when there is
an increase in government spending by 50 million?
Solutions:
Y = Kg x G New equilibrium income level = Y + Y
= 1/(1-MPC) x G = 1100 + 400
= 1 /(1-0.75) x 100 = 1500 m
Y = 400 million

MULTIPLIER CONCEPT (cont.)
TAX MULTIPLIER
Tax multiplier refers to the ratio of the change in the equilibrium income to a
change in taxes assuming there is no change in government expenditure.
Kt = Change in Income (Y)
Change in Taxes (T)
Tax multiplier can also derived as follows:
Tax Multiplier (Kt) = - MPC
MPS
Example
Given, C = 200 + 0.75Y; I = 100; G = 50 and T = 100. What is the equilibrium income level
when there is a tax cut of 50 million?
Solutions:
Y = Kt x T New equilibrium income level = Y + Y
= -MPC/(MPS) x T = 1100 + 150
= -0.75/(0.25) x 50 = 1250 m
Y = 150 million
