Explore the Income-Expenditure Model during a recession scenario by determining marginal propensities, plotting functions, calculating equilibrium GDP, multiplier effects, and analyzing changes with increased investment. Fully explained with real-dollar examples.
E N D
Question 1 Determine the marginal propensity to consume and the marginal propensity to save.
Question 2 Given: (all real dollars) Autonomous consumption spending =$250 billion Planned investment spending = $350 billion The marginal propensity to consume = 2/3
Question 2 • Plot the consumption function and aggregate expenditures • What is the value of Y* (equilibrium GDP)? • What is unplanned inventory investment when real GDP = $600 billion? • What is the value of the multiplier? • If planned investment increases to $450 billion, what is the new value of Y*?
Question 2 • What is Y* (equilibrium GDP)? Y*=$1,800 billion • What is unplanned inventory investment when real GDP = $600 billion? Iunplanned = -$400 billion • What is the value of the multiplier? Multiplier=3.0 • If planned investment increases to $450 billion, what is the new value of Y*? Y** = $2,100 billion
