Document Summary

The equilibrium output is that output the production of which creates total spending just sufficient to purchase that output: no overproduction or underproduction, no draw down or piling up of inventories. No unplanned changes in inventories: changes in inventories are a part of investment, when unplanned changes in inventories are considered, investment & savings are always equal, at any level of gdp. Savings equals planned investment: saving represents a leakage of spending, investment can be thought of as an injection of spending. Changes in national income: movements along the ae curve, movements along the desired saving line. Changes in equilibrium national income: due to shifts in the ae curve, due to shifts in the desired saving and investment. Changes in spending and changes in real gdp. Multiple: the ratio of change in the equilibrium gdp to the change in investment. Multiplier = changes in equilibrium gdp/ initial change in spending. One persons spending is another persons income.

A terrible winter storm causes enormous problems in the

northeastern

part of the United States. This would cause

the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift to the left, but would have no effect on the long-run aggregate supply curve.

both the short-run and the long-run aggregate supply curves to shift to the right in equal amounts.

Equilibrium real GDP rises after the dollar strengthened. From this we can conclude that

consumption spending increases but saving does not change.

consumption spending and saving increase.

When the SRAS curve slopes upward, the actual affect of an increase in real autonomous spending on equilibrium real GDP is smaller than predicted by the multiplier because

real GDP increases.

Other things equal, the lower the total real value of final goods and services demanded in the economy the
