What explains the variation of GDP in the short period?
How much does the GDP vary following changes in the demand components?
How can we explain phenomena such as the expansion of US during the 90s or the recent great recession (2008-09)?

We write the equations which describe the components of aggregate demand
Consumption is endogenous (behavioural equation) C = 100 + 0,6YD
Investments, public expenditure and taxes are exogenous (constant values) I = 50 G = 250 T = 100
Which is the value of production in equilibrium (YE)?

Aggregate demand Z is equal to Z = C + I + G
By substituting the equation C = 100 + 0,6 YD
Z = 100 + 0,6YD + I + G
By substituting the definition YD = YT Z = C0 + c1 (Y) + I + G
By substituting the values for I, G e T Z = 100 + 0,6 (Y100) + 50 + 250
So that Z = 0,6Y + 340

We impose the equilibrium condition Z=Y, so that
Y = 0,6Y + 340
(10,6) Y = 340
Y = 340 = 850
Equilibrium income -> YE = 850
Which is the value of the multiplier?

Variations in autonomous expenditure
Let’s examine the effects of a variations in one component of autonomous expenditure on final product.
Let’s suppose that something changes which affects the consumption choices -> Aut. Consumption (C0)
C0 = 100 -> 200
For the other variables we maintain the same values.

Which is the equilibrium value of final product ?
Z = C + I + G =
= 200 + 0,6 (Y100) + 50 + 250 = 0,6Y + 440
Let’s impose the equilibrium condition Z=Y
Y = 0,6Y + 440
from which we get
YE = 440 = 1100601

We obtained that C0 = 100 -> 200 caused YE = 850 -> 1100
An increase in C0 of about 100 caused an increase in YE of about 250
Why?

Explanation:
a) Autonomous consumption (C0) ->
b) Since consumption is a component of aggregate demand (Z=C+I+G) Aggregate Dem. ( Δ Z Δ C0) ->
c) Since in equilibrium Y=Z Production of the same degree (Δ Y Δ Z Δ C0)
If the effect of C0 stopped here we would have Δ Y Δ C0

However the effects continues. Indeed:
d) Since GDP Σ incomes Δ Y = Δ Aggregate income ->
e) Since consumption depends on income (C=C0+c1YD),
new Consumption (equal to c1 × ΔYD ) ->
f) Since consumption is a component of aggregate demand (Z=C+I+G), new Aggregate demand (ΔZ = c1 × ΔYD) ->

g) Since in equilibrium Y=Z New Production of the same dimension (ΔY = ΔZ ) ->
h) New Aggregate income -> …
The above described mechanisms starts again…

In conclusion:
• C0 causes a sequence of Y
• This happens because every increase in the product causes an increase in income and therefore a new increase in demand
• The increases get smaller and smaller because at each new “passage” only a portion of the new income is consumed (c1<1)
Variations in autonomous expenditure

The final increase in Y is greater than the initial one in C0 because of the mechanism that we have just described
Analytically this mechanism is represented by the multiplier (Multiplier -> “multiplies” the variations in autonomous expenditure)

Multiplier• Suppose an increase in autonomous
expenditure: ↑ C0
• If the enterprises have spare capacity they react to the increase of the demand by increasing the utilization of the factors: by buying new equipment and hiring more workers (or letting the existing ones to work for a longer time)→ new demand for capital and labour

• The managers of the capital equipment industry react by buying new capital equipment and by hiring more workers (or letting the existing ones to work for a longer time)→ new demand for capital and labour
• The workers utilize their new income by increasing their consumption expenditure..
• ↑ C, ↑ I• So on, at decreasing rates…

The previous results hold for all component of autonomous expenditure
In particular, since
YE = AE -> ΔYE = ΔAE
where ΔAE is the variation in autonomous expenditure

ΔAE = Δ of its components
so that
ΔYE = (ΔC0 + ΔI0 + ΔG0 c1 * ΔT0)
This implies that, in the short period, GDP depends on: •Variations in autonomous consumption (C0)
•Variations in the choices of investors (I0)
•Variations in the choices of government on taxes (T0) and public expenditures (G0)

The decomposition of demand in its different component can be used to interpret some recent events. In particular:
•Expansion of the United States in the 90s
•Great recession during the period 2008-09 in Italy

Expansion of the US during the 90s
In the period 1993 - 2000 the US underwent a phase of great expansion (on average +3,7% a year; +4,1% from 1996 to 2000)
The average growth was superior to the average of the other industrialized countries (for instance UE on average +2%)
The previous analysis can help us to understand this fact

![Page 25: The goods market: some exercise academic year 2015/16 Introduction to Economics Augusto Ninni 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1bfd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We saw that
ΔYE = (ΔC0 c1 * ΔT0 + ΔI0 + ΔG0)
What happened in the US economy?
Mainly two things:
a) The development of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) lead firms to innovate the productive processes -> I0

b) There had been a very good trend in the stock exchange indices (in particular the stocks associated with the “new economy”) -> households’ financial wealth -> C0

In particular, on average:
1993-2000 1996-2000Consumption + 3,4% + 4%Investments + 6,7% + 8,4%GDP + 3,7% + 4,1%
I0 and C0 explain Y
Important: Another component that contributed to growth was the increase in productivity (medium/long period phenomenon)

Let’s focus on the Italian economy
During the 2008-09 period the Italian economy underwent a deep recession with a total decrease in GDP greater than 5% in the two years.
What does this trend depend on?
How do we link this result with the trend in the components of aggregate demand?
2008-2009 Great Recession

The financial crisis had an effect on investment and consumption
On the investment side:
•Difficulties in firms’ external financing -> (in the current model) I0
•Worsening of the expectations on profit -> (in the current model) I0
2008-2009 Great Recession

On the consumption side:
•Decrease in income (increased unemployment) -> Yd -> c1 Yd -> C
•Fall in stock indices (cause by the worsening of the expectations on firms’ profitability) -> households’ financial wealth -> C0
•Worsening of the expectations on the future -> C0

The dynamics of consumption and investments explain the dynamics of GDP

The equilibrium condition on the goods market is Y=Z
We can obtain an equivalent condition based on investment and savings
Let’s start from
Y = Z = C + I + G
We have
Y - C - G = I
By subtracting and summing T from/to the first term
Y - T - C + T - G = I
Savings and investments in equilibrium
33
![Page 34: The goods market: some exercise academic year 2015/16 Introduction to Economics Augusto Ninni 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b427f8b9ab0599a1bfd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Y - T - C + T - G = I
The expression Y - T – C is the difference between the available income and consumption -> private saving (Spr)
The expression T – G is the difference between the earnings and costs of the Government -> public saving(Spu)
By substituting in the original expression, we get
Spr + Spu= I
Private saving + public saving = saving (S)
Therefore, the equilibrium condition suggests thatS = I
Savings and investments in equilibrium

In equilibrium, investments equal savings -> Say’s Law
It is an alternative way of defining the equilibrium in the goods marketBUT PAY ATTENTION, WE ARE REFERRING TO A CLOSED ECONOMY…..
