THE DETERMINATION OF NATIONAL INCOME

MACROECONOMICS
Prepared by AGCasana 01/28/12

Aggregate Expenditure and Equilibrium Income


Definition of aggregate expenditure and equilibrium income  How the economy adjusts to its equilibrium position.  How changes in aggregate expenditure affect equilibrium income.


Aggregate Expenditure and Equilibrium National Output




Aggregate expenditure (AE)


total amount that all economic agents want or plan to spend on domestic goods and services. the planned spending of
households,  firms,  government, and  foreigners.


Aggregate Expenditure


AE = C + I + G + (X-M)
consumption (C), investment (I), government spending (G), and exports less imports (X-M).

Note that AE is not the same as GDP.


AE represents planned spending GDP represents actual spending or output.

Aggregate Expenditure (AE) and National Output (Y)




AE and Y are not necessarily equal:


Firms formulate their production plans with an estimate of the quantities that people want to buy. A mistake on their part will cause production to exceed or fall below the amounts that people want to buy.

What if AE and Y are not equal?




If AE < Y
people want to buy less than what has been produced so firms will accumulate inventories. firms will reduce production

If AE >Y
What people want to buy is greater than actual production so inventories will decline. firms will increase production

Equilibrium National Income


AE = Y  Can be depicted by the intersection between the AE schedule and the 45 degree line


The 450 line


The 45-degree line is a tool that assists us in identifying the economy's equilibrium position.  Property: every point along this line depicts a situation wherein the value of the variable on the horizontal axis (in this case actual output, (Y) is equal to its counterpart on the vertical axis (AE).

Equilibrium Income (Y*)




When AE is equal to Y
there is no reason for firms to adjust production. this suggests that the economy is in equilibrium.

Equilibrium requires the equality between income and aggregate expenditure. That is, Y = AE.

Changes in AE and Income


  

Suppose that the economy's aggregate expenditure schedule shifts upward AE0 to AE1, Equilibrium point will move from E0 to E1. As a result, the economy experiences an increase in equilibrium income from YO* to Y1*

Consumption and Income




Keynes (1936) suggested that consumption spending (C) tends to increase with income.
In other words, households with higher incomes tend to spend more. There is a positive relationship between consumption spending and income

Consumption and income


  

Higher levels of income correspond to higher levels of consumption spending When income is equal to zero, consumption spending is equal to 200. Consumption spending and income are equal at each other when income = 800.
When income is less than 800, consumption is higher than income. When income is greater than 800, consumption less than income

THE CONSUMPTION SCHEDULE

Consumption and Income


Observations from values above: (a) autonomous consumption spending component of consumption spending that does not depend on income - equal to 200 in example (b) marginal propensity to consume (mpc) shows the increase in consumption spending for a one peso increase in income;


Marginal Propensity to Consume




MPC or the marginal propensity to consume represents the change in consumption spending that arises from a one peso change in income.

(C mpc ! (Y

 

Value of MPC is between 0 and 1. MPC=0.75 means that a one peso increase in income leads to a 75-centavo increase in consumption spending.

Marginal propensity to consume




In example above, C = 150 for Y = 200. Hence,


(C 150 ! ! 0.75 MPC ! (Y 200

Consumption Function


Consumption Function: C = c + mpc.Y C = 200 + 0.75Y

Savings and Income


Sum of consumption spending and savings (S) must equal income. In symbols, Y = C + S.  Subtracting C from both sides of this equation leads to S = Y - C.

The determination of equilibrium income in a two-sector economy


 

 

Two sector economy - households and firms only Implies that AE is given by: AE = C + I Assume that I is autonomous and equal to 100 In equilibrium, Y = AE p equilibrium income (Y*) = 1200

Investment and Multiplier


Suppose that investment I increases from 100M pesos to 200M pesos  What happens to equilibrium income?  Equilibrium income Y* will increase


Not by 100M But by a multiplied amount!!




WHY???

For I = 200, Y* = 1,600 Hence, if Io from 100 to 200 p Y*o from 1200 to 1600. In other words, p p

( I ! 100 (Y* ! 400

The concept of the multiplier


 

Increase in Y is greater than increase in I. Why? Multiplier (E) - measures the change in equilibrium income as a result of a one-peso change in the sum of the autonomous components of AE;

(Y E! (I

The Paradox of Thrift


   

Many people believe that higher savings lead to higher income. In the present model, we get a result that is contrary to this belief. In other words, equilibrium income falls when people want to save more. Idea: the attempt to achieve higher savings may reduce equilibrium income
