Document Summary

Econ 201 chapter 11 income-expenditure model. Mpc = (change in consumer spending)/(change in disposable income) Autonomous change in aggregate spending: an initial rise or fall in aggregate spending at any given level of real gdp: leads to a chain reaction that changes real gdp. Total change in rgdp (caused by autonomous change) = multiplier * autonomous change in aggregate spending: multiplier: 1/(1-mpc) Aggregate consumption function shows the relationship between the aggregate economy"s yd & c: c = a + mpc * yd. Shifts in agg cf: changes in expected future disposable income. Life-cycle hypothesis: people plan their consumption over their lifetime and try to smooth it out. Permanent income hypothesis: c depends on expected lifetime income rather than current income: wealth. Investment spending is very important to economic performance. Interest rates: expected future rgdp, current level of productive capacity. Actual i spending usually not equal to planned.
