Document Summary

When autonomous spending changes, the equilibrium level of real gdp changes. But the change in real gdp equilibrium level is larger than the change in autonomous expenditure. An increase in investment increases aggregate expenditure and real gdp. If investment increases by , real gdp also increases by . Same with other autonomous spending like government (g) Increase in real gdp leads to an increase in induced consumption as yd increases. This leads to an increase in aggregate expenditure and real gdp. Real gdp increases by more than the initial increase in autonomous expenditure. In this example, we have 400/100 for a spending multiplier of 4. In this example, mpc=0. 8 so we get the same answer of 5 if we use the alternate equation. Turning points are when the markets change from an increase to a decrease and vice versa. We are talking about peaks and troughs here.
