Document Summary

The total amount of spending on domestically produced goods and services that households, businesses, the government, and foreigners want to make. The total amount of output demanded in the economy. The total quantity demanded of an economy"s output is the sum of 4 types of spending: Yad = c + i + g + nx. The relationship between disposable income yd and consumption expenditure. C = ca + mpc x (y t) The term mpc is the marginal propensity to consume. Change in consumption expenditure that results from an additional dollar of disposable income. Planned spending on equipment, structures, and also s-pending on new residential housing. Smaller than fixed investment, but can be unplanned. Investments depend on the real interest rate since a new project must yield at least as high a return as the interest rate (cost of borrowing) Some investment is not sensitive to the interest rate, this is called autonomous investment.

Suppose that the Australian economy is at long run equilibrium, and the Australian government announces its decision to decrease spending on infrastructure.

Discuss the short-run effects of a decrease in spending on aggregate espenditure (AE) and aggregate demand (AD). in your discussion, explain the process that moves the economy to its new equilibrium output. That is, explain what would happen to:

1. aggregate planned expenditure

2. firms inventories and production

3. disposable income and consumption expenditure

4. aggregate demand and supply

5. real GDP and price level

Use the AE and AD Graph for your graphical analysis to support your explanation.

Aggregate expenditure is the total amount of spending in the economy that determines the level of the GDP. Components of aggregate expenditure are autonomous expenditure, planned private investments, government expenditure, and net exports. When autonomous expenditure increases or decreases, it has a multiplied effect on the GDP.

Referring to the 10-year historical period that you chose for your final project,( i choose Korean War and Vietnam War.). discuss an example of a change in autonomous spending. Research a government policy implemented during that time and discuss the multiplier effect it had on the economy.
