In an economy in which the multiplier has the value of 4, the price level has decreased from 115 to 110. As a consequence, there has been a movement along the aggregate demand curve from $30 trillion in real GDP to $36 trillion in real GDP. What is the marginal propensity to save?
.25
What was the amount of change in the autonomous expenditures generated by the decline in the price level?
1.50 trillion
If the MPC = 0.9, the multiplier equals
10
Now assume that autonomous real consumption spending is $1 trillion. There is no other autonomous spending presently taking place in the economy. The current real GDP is $20 trillion. What is the current amount of real consumption in the economy?
16 C= autonomous consumption+ (MPC X Y) MPC= 1-MPS Y= real GDP
Suppose that an economy is in equilibrium at a real GDP of $15 trillion at a price level of 100. An increase in autonomous expenditures of $0.20 trillion takes place. The current multiplier is 10. If the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal, the new equilibrium value of real GDP will be
17 trillion
The Keynesian Model was supported empirically by data from the decade of the
1930
Suppose that an economy is in equilibrium at a real GDP of $15 trillion at a price level of 100. The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward-sloping and there is an increase in autonomous expenditures of $0.20 trillion. This increase in expenditures enabled the real GDP to increase to $15.50 trillion. The change in the price level has changed the multiplier to
2.5
If the MPC = 0.8, a permanent increase in planned real investment of $40 billion will increase real GDP by a total of
200 billion

In order to understand the outcomes of a model it is necessary to know the assumptions of a model. In the Keynesian model, businesses
pay no indirect taxes.
Consumption goods are
physical goods or services that households purchase and then use up.
When we add autonomous investment, I, and autonomous government spending, G, to the consumption function, we obtain the C + I + G curve, which represents total ___________ for a closed economy. In an open economy, we add the foreign sector, which consists of exports minus imports, or net exports, X. Total planned expenditures are thus represented by the C + I + G + X curve.
planned expenditures
The Keynsian model assumes that international trade
plays no role in the simple model.
Thus, according to the Keynesian model full employment is
possible but not guaranteed
An important difference between the Classical Model and the Keynesian Model is that
prices adjust to bring about equilibrium in the Classical Model and output adjusts to bring about an equilibrium in the Keynesian Model.
capital goods
producer durables; non consumable goods that firms use to make other goods
If real GDP falls below total planned expenditures the economy will see
production and employment increases
The classical model assumes that
pure competition wages and prices are flexible motivated by self interest cannot be fooled by money illusion
assumptions of the classical model
pure competition exists wages and prices are flexible people are motivated by self-interest people cannot be fooled by money illusion
The multiplier is weakened in inflationary gaps because of
rapid price level increases.
Planned real investment is determined by the
rate of interest.
multiplier
ratio of change in equilibrium level of real national income to the change in autonomous expenditures
MPC- marginal propensity to consume
ratio of change in real consumption to the change in real disposable income MPC= change in real consumption/ change in real disposable income
Marginal propensity to save- MPS
ration of the change in saving to the change in disposable income =change in real saving/ change in real disposable income
The Keynesian model indicates that the economy will find an equilibrium however the economy will not always
reach full employment

reacting to changes in money prices rather than relative prices.. if a worker whose wages double when the price level also doubles thinks he or she is better off, that worker is suffering from money illusion
real disposable income
real GDP minus net taxes or after tax real income
effects of price level increase?
real balance effect interest rate effect open economy effect
APC- average propensity to consume
real consumption divided by real disposable income the proportion of total disposable income that is consumed APC= Real consumption/ real disposable income
APS- average propensity to save
real saving divided by real disposable income save proportion of real DI APS= real saving/ real disposable income
Since the nominal wage is deemed inflexible, a decrease in aggregate demand causes firms to
reduce their workforce.

reduced
consumption function
relationship between the amount consumed and disposable income indicates how much people plan to consume at various levels of disposable income
So as the amount of planned investment decreases, the slope of the C + I function
remains constant
During the recovery from the most recent recession, real consumption expenditures
rose slowly and weakly because households boosted their spending on services much less than their expenditures on physical goods.
The smaller the marginal propensity to ________ , the larger the multiplier. Otherwise stated, the larger the marginal propensity to ________ , the larger the multiplier.
save; consume
Current disposable income held to buy consumption goods in the future is referred to as
saving.
When saving is introduced into the model, equilibrium occurs in the credit market through changes in the interest rate such that desired ________ equals desired ________ at the equilibrium rate of interest
saving; investment
All of the following are flow concepts except
savings.
Changes in factors of production that influence economic growth will
shift SRAS and LRAS.
A short-lived change in production input prices will
shift SRAS but not LRAS.
Any change in the non-interest-rate determinants of planned investment will cause a ____________ he planned investment function so that at each and every rate of interest a different amount of planned investment will be made.
shift in
Given that the US dollar has depreciated the short-run aggregate supply in the United States should
shift to the left.
Suppose that the value of the US dollar ($) yesterday was $1 = 4 pesos. Today the exchange rate changed such that $1 = 6 pesos. Given that the US $ has appreciated, the aggregate demand in the United States should
shift to the left.
Given that the US $ has appreciated, the short-run aggregate supply in the United States should
shift to the right
Suppose that the value of the US dollar ($) yesterday was $1 = 4 yen. Today the exchange rate changed such that $1 = 2 yen. Given that the US dollar has depreciated, the aggregate demand in the United States should
shift to the right.
If real investment increases by $500 billion, the C + I + G + X curve will
shift up vertically by $500 billion.
Any unanticipated shifts in aggregate demand or supply are called aggregate demand or aggregate supply
shocks
If the prices were sticky, according to Keynes, this would then imply that the
short-run aggregate supply is horizontal.
_______ run equilibrium occurs at the intersection of the aggregate demand curve, AD, and the short-run aggregate supply curve, SRAS. ______run equilibrium occurs at the intersection of AD and the long-run aggregate supply curve, LRAS.
short; long
The multiplier effect implies that if government wants to cause an increase in aggregate demand of $500 million, it can do so by increasing government spending by an amount
smaller than $500 million
investment
spending by businesses on things such as machines and buildings, which can be used to produce goods and services in the future the investment part of real GDP is the portion that will be used in the process of producing goods in the future
consumption
spending on new goods or services out of a households income whatever is not consumed is saved
net wealth
stock of assets owned by a person, household, firm or nation for households, wealth can consist of house,cars, personal belongings, stocks, bonds, bank accounts and cash (minus any debts owed)
a _______ dollar will reduce the cost of imported inputs, thereby causing SRAS to shift outward to the right. At the same time, a ________dollar will lead to lower net exports, causing the aggregate demand curve to shift inward. The equilibrium price level definitely falls, but the net effect on equilibrium real GDP depends on which shift is larger.
stronger; stronger
the permanent income hypothesis
suggests that income level that matters for a persons decision about current consumption and saving is permanent income, expected average lifetime income thus if a persons flow of income temporarily rises without an increase in average income, the person responds by saving moo and leaving consumption unchanged
Say's law asserts that
supply creates its own demand
Say's law states that _______ creates its own _________and therefore desired expenditures will equal actual expenditures.
supply; demand
The modern Keynesian Model assumes that
that prices respond to changes in aggregate demand but not fully.
With regard to the relationship between the C + I + G + X curve and the aggregate demand curve, changes in the price level cause
the C + I + G + X curve to shift while it causes a movement along the aggregate demand curve.
Persistent inflation arises due to
the aggregate demand curve increasing by a larger proportion than the long-run aggregate supply curve.
When government spending and net exports are added into the Keynesian model
the aggregate expenditures function shifts.
Inflation in an economy implies that
the average price level has increased over a stated period of time.
For any given level of real income, the proportion of total real disposable income that is consumed is called
the average propensity to consume.
the C + I + G + X curve intersects the 45-degree reference line at $4 trillion. If the price level rises
the equilibrium real national income falls because consumption falls, investment falls, and net exports decrease, shifting the C + I + G + X curve down.
The greater the value of the marginal propensity to consume
the greater the value of the multiplier.
in the classical model, the supple of saving was determined by the rate of interest
the higher rate, the more people wanted to save and the less they wanted to consume
keynesian short run aggregate supply curve SRAS
the horizontal portion of the aggregate supply curve in which there is excessive unemployment and unused capacity in the economy
keynes argued that
the interest rate is not most important factor in saving and consumption decisions, rather real saving and consumption decisions depend on a households real disposable income a persons anticipation about future flows of income influences how much of current income is allocated to consumption and how much is allocated to saving
The economic concept that part of each additional dollar earned will be spent, and that this spending will provide additional income of which part will again be spent, is known as
the multiplier principle
how can a 100 billion increase in investment generate 500 billion increase in equilibrium real GDP?
the multiplier process
Nominal GDP is dependent on
the price level and output.
The long-run aggregate supply curve will not shift if there is a change in
the price level.
The investment function is represented as an inverse relationship between the value of planned real investment and
the rate of interest.
The greater the value of the marginal propensity to save
the smaller the value of the multiplier.
The extent to which real GDP responds to changes in the price level along the short-run aggregate supply curve is largely determined by
the speed with which input prices adjust and people become more fully informed. the ability of firms to hire additional inputs, particularly workers. the ability of firms to use existing workers and capital more intensively.
If C+I+G+X greater than Y
unplanned decrease in inventories businesses raise output Y returns
According to modern Keynesian analysis, the short-run aggregate supply curve is
upward sloping.
In the classical model, because LRAS is ________he equilibrium level of real GDP is supply determined. Any changes in aggregate demand simply change the ____________
vertical; price level
If the price level rises the multiplier effect on real GDP will be
