Study Notes
Lecture 7: Keynesian Income and Expenditure Model
- The lecture covers the Keynesian Income and Expenditure Model for a simple economy.
- Learning objectives include understanding the model's history and logic, identifying its components and their connection to aggregate demand, analyzing and interpreting Keynesian equilibrium numerically and graphically, and understanding the multiplier effect.
- The model examines the effects of consumption, savings, and investment on equilibrium real GDP.
- The aggregate demand equation is AD = C + I + G + (X-M)
- Aggregate demand is the total quantity of goods and services demanded across all levels of an economy at a specified price level.
- Aggregate expenditure describes the total spending on goods and services within an economy, related to its current income level.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will understand the Keynesian model's rationale
- Components of the Keynesian model and their connection to aggregate demand
- Analyze Keynesian equilibrium through numerical and graphical methods
- Comprehend the multiplier effect, affecting autonomous spending's economic impact.
Recessionary Gap Solution
- Discretionary expansionary fiscal policy can address recessionary gaps, focusing on either demand or supply sides.
- The relevant macroeconomic equation is AD = C + I + G + (X-M)
History of Government Intervention
- John Maynard Keynes developed a framework to explain high unemployment levels during the 1930s.
- Keynes proposed fiscal policy intervention, now recognized as crucial during economic downturns.
- The lecture explores the evolution of the Keynesian model.
The Keynesian Model
- The model examines the effects of consumption, savings, and investment on short-run equilibrium real GDP, assuming constant prices.
- AD = C + I + G + (X-M) is the aggregate demand equation.
Keynesian Model – Focus Consumption
- Consumption (C) in an economy is determined by the consumption function.
- C = a + bY, where 'a' is autonomous consumption and 'b' is the marginal propensity to consume (MPC).
- The slope 'b' represents the fraction of disposable income spent on consumption.
Keynesian Model – Focus Savings
- Savings (S) are calculated as: S = Y - C.
- Savings are determined by the savings function: S = -a + (1-b)Y , where 'a' is autonomous, and (1-b) is the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS).
- MPS + MPC = 1
Linking MPS and MPC
- MPC and MPS are related: 1 = MPC + MPS
Putting Everything Together
- AE = C + I.
- AE = a + bY + I = A + bY, where A = a + I.
- A represents autonomous expenditure.
Keynesian Equilibrium Graphically
- Equilibrium occurs when aggregate expenditure (AE) equals aggregate income (Y) on a 45-degree line graph.
Keynesian Equilibrium Numerically
- Equilibrium is determined by setting the aggregate expenditure function equal to the aggregate income level; example calculations are provided including the influence on output of a change in autonomous expenditure.
Multiplier Effect
- A change in autonomous expenditure has a magnified impact on real GDP.
- The multiplier effect is the ratio of the change in equilibrium real GDP to an initial change in autonomous expenditure (e.g., investment, consumption).
- The multiplier is 1/(1-MPC)
- Multiplier effect shows that the change in aggregate demand leads to a larger change in output.
Summary
- The Keynesian model justifies discretionary government policy.
- The model's efficacy depends heavily on the MPC.
- Consumption expenditure significantly influences aggregate expenditure.
Next Week
- Lectures on three-sector and four-sector models of the economy, emphasizing how autonomous factor changes affect equilibrium output and multiplier values.
- These models will delve deeper into macroeconomic modeling.
