Demand for goods & servicesComponents of aggregate demand:
C = consumer demand for goods & services
I = demand for investment goods
G = government demand for goods &services
(closed economy: no NX )

Consumption, C def: disposable income is total income minus total
taxes: Y T
Consumption function: C = C (Y T )Shows that (Y T ) C
def: The marginal propensity to consume is theincrease in C caused by a one-unit increase indisposable income.
Meaning: If MPC is 99%, then
1 unit ( Y T ) will cause 0.99 unit C MPC = C / ( Y T )
Or, C = MPC ( Y T )

Investment, I Investment: firms + households
(Eg. add stock of capital + new houses) Depends upon interest rate: cost of borrowing funds
to finance investment spending.
Interest rates:borrowing and lending
(since both interest rates work together, we assumean average interest rate for simplicity)

Investment, I Nominal interest rate: Interest rate in market value
Real Interest rate: Interest rate in terms of purchasing power (nominal interest rate correctedfor inflation)
The true cost of borrowing is the real interest ratenot the nominal interest rate. Why?
Since, r I
The investment function is I = I (r ),where r denotes the real interest rate

Spending oninvestment goodsis a downward-sloping function of the real interest rate

Government spending, G
G includes government spending on goodsand services raised by Tax revenue
Classical theory assumes that governmentspending and total taxes are exogenous:
andG G T T

Budget surplus and deficit
When T > G ,budget surplus = (T G )> 0 and public saving ispositive.
When T < G ,budget deficit = (T G ) < 0and public saving is negative.
When T = G ,budget is balanced and public saving = 0.

Equilibrium in the market for goods & services
The real interest rate adjusts
to equate demand with supply in the goodsmarket.
Agg. demand: ( ) ( )C Y T I r G
Agg. supply: ( , )Y F K L
Equilibrium: = ( ) ( )Y C Y T I r G

Equilibrium in the Financial Market:The loanable funds market
A simple supply-demand model of the financial system.
One asset: loanable funds demand for funds: investment demands
supply of funds: savings (Public + Private)

Supply of the fund: Saving private saving = (Y T ) C
public saving = T G
national saving or Saving , S = private saving + public saving
= (Y T ) C + T GS = Y C G
We know, Y = C + I + G such that S = C + I + G C G
S = I (equilibrium condition goods market relating to
financial market)
Rewriting, ( )S Y C Y T G = I (r )

An Increase in Government Purchases (G) by G :
Total demand for goods and services General price level and demand for money
(Since Total Output ( Supply) is fixed) Govt. spends more money from its savings.
Savings
Interest rate (Banks have less money for public)
Investment level
Fiscal Policy Operations: Increase/Decrease in G or T
Thus, government purchases are said to crowd out
investment

Macroeconomic Assumption onConsumption and Saving
Disposable income (Y-T) has two functions:
Consumption and Savings
( Y T ) = C + S
( Y T ) = C + S
For any given amount of (Y T),
Increase in C leads to decrease in S

A Decrease in Taxes: Disposable (Y-T) income
Consumption (C)
Saving decreases
Interest rate (r)
Investment (I)
Like an increase in government purchases, tax cutscrowd out investment and raise the interest rate.
Fiscal Policy Operations: Increase/Decrease in G or T

An increase in the demand forinvestment goods shifts the investmentschedule to the right. At any giveninterest rate, the amount of investmentis greater. The equilibrium moves
from A to B. Because the amountof saving is fixed, the increase in
investment demand raisesthe interest rate while leaving
the equilibrium
amount of investmentunchanged.
But, what if interest rates are even higher?

When saving is positively related to the interest rate, it results in theupward-sloping S(r) curve.
A rightward shift in the investment schedule I(r)increases the interest rate (r) and the amount of investment (I).

Upward sloping savingsThe higher
interest rateinduces people
to decreaseconsumptionand increasesaving, whichin turn allowsinvestment to
increase.

Numerical Exercise
Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Y = C + I + GY = 5,000G = 1,000T = 1,000,C = 250 + 0.75(Y T) I = 1,000 50r. a. In this economy, compute private saving, public saving andnational saving.b. Find the equilibrium interest rate.
c. Now suppose that G rises to 1,250. Compute private saving,public saving, and national saving.d. Find the new equilibrium interest rate
Note: r is in %

Solution to Numerical Exercise
a) Private Saving = Y T C =
= 5,000
1,000
(250 + 0.75(5,000
1,000)) = 750.Public Saving = T G = 1,000 1,000 = 0S = S(private) + S(public) = 750 + 0 = 750.
b) S = I
750 = 1,000
50 r. Therefore, r = 5%. c) S(private) = 750 and S(public) = T G = 1,000 1,250 = 250.Thus, S = S(private) + S(public) = 750 + ( 250) = 500.
d) S = I500 = 1,000 50 r. Therefore, r = 10%.
