Aggregate Expenditures
Keynesianism
Say’s Law says that producing goods generates an amount of income equal to the value of the goods produced
Great Depression
Keynes theorizes that not all income is spent leaving surpluses◦ In other words, the economy is not self-adjusting and
that external forces not always the cause of recession, there are also internal forces caused by failure of certain fundamental economic decisions (savings and investing)
Keynes and the Depression
Income after taxes or net income◦ DI=Gross Income – Taxes
2 Choices with disposable income◦ Consume or Save
Average Propensity to Consume◦ APC = consumption/income
Average Propensity to Save◦ APS = saving/income
APC + APS = 1
Disposable Income (DI)Consumption
The fraction of any change in disposable income that is consumed.
MPC= Change in Consumption Change in Disposable Income
MPC = ΔC/ΔDI
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC)
The fraction of any change in disposable income that is saved.
MPS= Change in SavingsChange in Disposable Income
MPS = ΔS/ΔDI
Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS)
MPC + MPS = 1◦.: MPC = 1 – MPS◦.: MPS = 1 – MPC
Remember, people do two things with their disposable income, consume it or save it!
Marginal Propensities
An initial change in spending (C, IG, G, XN) causes a larger change in aggregate spending, or Aggregate Demand (AD).
Multiplier = Change in AD Change in Spending
Multiplier = Δ AD/Δ C, I, G, or X
The Spending Multiplier Effect
Why does this happen?◦Expenditures and income flow continuously which sets off a spending increase in the economy.
The Spending Multiplier Effect
The Spending Multiplier can be calculated from the MPC or the MPS.
Multiplier = 1/1-MPC or 1/MPS
Multipliers are (+) when there is an increase in spending and (–) when there is a decrease
Calculating the Spending Multiplier
Ex. Assume U.S. citizens spend 90¢ for every extra $1 they earn. Further assume that the real interest rate (r%) decreases, causing a $50 billion increase in gross private investment. Calculate the effect of a $50 billion increase in IG on U.S. Aggregate Demand (AD).◦ Step 1: Calculate the MPC and MPS
MPC = ΔC/ΔDI = .9/1 = .9
MPS = 1 – MPC = .10◦ Step 2: Determine which multiplier to use, and whether it’s + or
- The problem mentions an increase in Δ IG .: use a (+) spending
multiplier◦ Step 3: Calculate the Spending and/or Tax Multiplier
1/MPS = 1/.10 = 10◦ Step 4: Calculate the Change in AD
(Δ C, IG, G, or XN) * Spending Multiplier ($50 billion Δ IG) * (10) = $500 billion ΔAD
MPS, MPC, & Multipliers
Calculating the Tax Multiplier
When the government taxes, the multiplier works in reverse
Why?◦Because now money is leaving the circular flow
Tax Multiplier (note: it’s negative) = -MPC/1-MPC or -MPC/MPS
If there is a tax-CUT, then the multiplier is +, because there is now more money in the circular flow
MPS, MPC, & Multipliers Ex. Assume U.S. citizens spend 90¢ for every extra $1
they earn. Further assume that the real interest rate (r%) decreases, causing a $50 billion increase in gross private investment. Calculate the effect of a $50 billion increase in IG on U.S. Aggregate Demand (AD).◦ Step 1: Calculate the MPC and MPS
MPC = ΔC/ΔDI = .9/1 = .9
MPS = 1 – MPC = .10◦ Step 2: Determine which multiplier to use, and whether it’s + or
- The problem mentions an increase in Δ IG .: use a (+) spending
multiplier◦ Step 3: Calculate the Spending and/or Tax Multiplier
1/MPS = 1/.10 = 10◦ Step 4: Calculate the Change in AD
(Δ C, IG, G, or XN) * Spending Multiplier ($50 billion Δ IG) * (10) = $500 billion ΔAD
MPS, MPC, & Multipliers Ex. Assume Germany raises taxes on its citizens by
€200 billion . Furthermore, assume that Germans save 25% of the change in their disposable income. Calculate the effect the €200 billion change in taxes on the German economy.◦ Step 1: Calculate the MPC and MPS
MPS = 25%(given in the problem) = .25 MPC = 1 – MPS = 1 - .25 = .75
◦ Step 2: Determine which multiplier to use, and whether it’s + or - The problem mentions an increase in T .: use (-) tax multiplier
◦ Step 3: Calculate the Spending and/or Tax Multiplier -MPC/MPS = -.75/.25 = -3
◦ Step 4: Calculate the Change in AD (Δ Tax) * Tax Multiplier (€200 billion Δ T) * (-3) = -€600 billion Δ in AD
MPS, MPC, & Multipliers Ex. Assume the Japanese spend 4/5 of their disposable income.
Furthermore, assume that the Japanese government increases its spending by ¥50 trillion and in order to maintain a balanced budget simultaneously increases taxes by ¥50 trillion. Calculate the effect the ¥50 trillion change in government spending and ¥50 trillion change in taxes on Japanese Aggregate Demand.◦ Step 1: Calculate the MPC and MPS
MPC = 4/5 (given in the problem) = .80 MPS = 1 – MPC = 1 - .80 = .20
◦ Step 2: Determine which multiplier to use, and whether it’s + or - The problem mentions an increase in G and an increase in T .:
combine a (+) spending with a (–) tax multiplier◦ Step 3: Calculate the Spending and Tax Multipliers
Spending Multiplier = 1/MPS = 1/.20 = 5 Tax Multiplier = -MPC/MPS = -.80/.20 = -4
◦ Step 4: Calculate the Change in AD [ Δ G * Spending Multiplier] + [ Δ T * Tax Multiplier] [(¥50 trillion Δ G) * 5] + [(¥50 trillion Δ T) * -4] [ ¥250 trillion ] + [ - ¥200 trillion ] = ¥50 trillion Δ AD
Money spent or expenditures on:◦New plants (factories)◦Capital equipment (machinery)◦Technology (hardware & software)◦New Homes◦Inventories (goods sold by producers)
What is Investment?
How does business make investment decisions?◦ Cost / Benefit Analysis
How does business determine the benefits?◦ Expected rate of return
How does business count the cost?◦ Interest costs
How does business determine the amount of investment they undertake?◦ Compare expected rate of return to interest cost
If expected return > interest cost, then invest If expected return < interest cost, then do not invest
Expected Rates of Return
What’s the difference?◦Nominal is the observable rate of interest. Real subtracts out inflation (π%)and is only known ex post facto.
How do you compute the real interest rate (r%)?
r% = i% - π% What then, determines the cost of an investment decision?◦The real interest rate (r%)
Real (r%) v. Nominal (i%)
What is the shape of the Investment demand curve?
◦ Downward sloping Why?
◦ When interest rates are high, fewer investments are profitable; when interest rates are low, more investments are profitable
◦ Conversely, there are few investments that yield high rates of return, and many that yield low rates of return

When investment demand shifts, different levels of gross private investment occur even while r% remains constant
Durability◦ Capital has a long life-span, therefore once it is built
there is no immediate need for further investment Irregularity of Innovation
◦ Innovation does not proceed in a smooth linear fashion, instead there are bursts of innovation followed by periods of relative stability
Variability of Profits◦ Profitability is subject to the forces of competition,
cyclical changes in the economy, and human management decisions
Variability of Expectations◦ Political, social and natural phenomenon shape our
positive and negative expectations of the future
Instability of Investment
Many economists believe that investment instability is the chief cause of the business cycle.
Instability of Investment
The market where savers and borrowers exchange funds (QLF) at the real rate of interest (r%).
The demand for loanable funds, or borrowing comes from households, firms, government and the foreign sector. The demand for loanable funds is in fact the supply of bonds.
The supply of loanable funds, or savings comes from households, firms, government and the foreign sector. The supply of loanable funds is also the demand for bonds.

Remember that demand for loanable funds = borrowing (i.e. supplying bonds)
More borrowing = more demand for loanable funds ()
Less borrowing = less demand for loanable funds ()

= less demand for loanable funds .: DLF .: r%↓

Decrease in the Supply of Loanable Funds
Loanable funds market determines the real interest rate (r%).
Loanable funds market relates saving and borrowing.
Changes in saving and borrowing create changes in loanable funds and therefore the r% changes.
When government does fiscal policy it will affect the loanable funds market.
Changes in the real interest rate (r%) will affect Gross Private Investment
