Document Summary

Keynesian model describes the economy in the very short run when prices are fixed. Because each firm"s price is fixed, for the economy as a whole: the price level is fixed, aggregate demand determines real gdp. The components of aggregate expenditure sum to real gdp. Y = c + i + g + x m. Two of the components of aggregate expenditure, consumption and imports, are influenced by real gdp. So there is a two-way link between aggregate expenditure and real gdp. Two-way link between aggregate expenditure and real gdp. Other things remaining the same: an increase in real gdp increases aggregate expenditure. An increase in aggregate expenditure increases real gdp. Consumption expenditure is influenced by many factors but the most direct one is disposable income. Disposable income is aggregate income or real gdp, y, minus net taxes, t. Yd is disposable income = income (real gdp) taxes.
