In this chapter, you will learn to solve these economic puzzles:
Why did economists believe the Great Depression was
impossible?
What are the components of the Keynesian Cross?
Why did Keynes believe that “animal spirits” and government policy were
important to maintain full employment?
![Page 3: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
3
Who were theClassical Economists?The Classical economists
believed that a continuing depression is impossible because markets will eliminate persistent shortages or surpluses
![Page 4: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
When were the ideas of the Classical Economists
widely accepted?Prior to the Great
Depression of the 1930’s
![Page 5: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
What is Say’s Law?The belief of the
Classical Economists that the economy was always tending toward full employment
![Page 6: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
What doesSay’s Law say?Supply creates its
own demand
![Page 7: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Why is Say’s Law a Full Employment theory?
Generally speaking, producers produce goods that consumers want and consumers have the money to buy because of the wages they were paid
![Page 8: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Under Say’s Law, is Unemployment possible?Yes, but it is a short-lived
adjustment period in which wages and prices decline or people voluntarily choose not to work
![Page 9: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
What changed people’s mind about Say’s Law?The Great Depression and
the publication of The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money published in 1936
![Page 10: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Why did Keynes’ believe that “supply did not
create its own demand”? Aggregate expenditures
(demand) can be forever inadequate for an economy to achieve full employment
![Page 11: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
What is the main idea of this chapter?
Keynes’s theory for the determination of consumption and investment expenditures
![Page 12: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
What determines your family’s Spending for Goods and Services?
Disposable income
![Page 13: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
What is theConsumption Function?The graph that shows the
amount households spend for goods and services at different levels of disposable income
![Page 14: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
What is Savings?Disposable income minus
consumption, the amount households do not spend for consumer goods and services
![Page 15: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
What is Dissaving?The amount by which
personal consumption expenditures exceed disposable income
![Page 16: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
How do people Dissave?Negative savings is
financed by by drawing down previously accumulated financial assets or by borrowing
![Page 17: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
What is Autonomous Consumption?Consumption that
is independent of the level of disposable income
![Page 18: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
What happens when Disposable Income is Zero?
Spending will equal autonomous consumption because households will dissave to satisfy basic consumption needs
![Page 19: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
What is the Marginal Propensity to Consume?
The change in consumption resulting from a given change in real disposable income
![Page 20: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

28
Why does the Consumption Function Shift?
• Expectations• Wealth• Price level• Interest rate• Stock of durable goods
![Page 29: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
How do Expectations affect the Consumption Function?Consumers expectations of
things to happen in the future will affect their spending decisions today
![Page 30: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
How does Wealth affect the Consumption Function?
Holding all other factors constant, the more wealth households accumulate, the more they spend at any current level of disposable income
![Page 31: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
How does the Price Level affect the
Consumption Function?Any change in the general
price level shifts the consumption schedule by reducing or enlarging the consumers purchasing power
![Page 32: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
How does the Interest Rate affect the
Consumption Function?A high interest rate will
discourage people from borrowing money and a low interest rate will encourage people to borrow money
![Page 33: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
How does the Stock of Durable Goods affect the Consumption Function?
When durable goods are suppressed, like during WWII, afterwards there is an increase in the demand for goods not previously made available
![Page 34: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
How does Consumption compare with Investment?Consumption is more stable
than investment
![Page 35: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
According to the Classical Economists,
what determined the level of Investment?The interest rate
![Page 36: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
According to Keynes, what determines the level
of Investment?Expectations of future
profits is the primary factor, the interest rate is the financing cost of any investment proposal
![Page 37: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
What is the Investment Demand Curve?
The curve that shows the amount businesses spend for investment goods at different possible rates of interest
![Page 38: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

40
Why is Investment Demand unstable?
• Expectations• Technological change• Capacity utilization• Business taxes• Autonomous reasons
![Page 41: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
How do Expectations affect Investment?
Businesspeople are quite susceptible to moods of optimism and pessimism
![Page 42: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
How does Technological change affect Investment?The introduction of new
products and new ways of doing things have a big impact on investment decisions
![Page 43: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
What happens when Capacity Utilization is low?
When capacity utilization is low, firms can meet an increase in demand without expanding
![Page 44: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
What happens when Capacity Utilization is high?When capacity utilization is
high, firms must increase investment to meet an increase in demand
![Page 45: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
How do Business Taxes affect Investment?
Business decisions depend on the expected after-tax rate of profit
![Page 46: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
What isAutonomous Expenditure?Spending that does not vary
with the current level of disposable income
![Page 47: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Summary
![Page 56: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Say’s Law is the classical theory that “supply creates its own demand” and therefore the Great Depression was impossible. Say’s Law is the belief that the value of production generates an equal amount of income and, in turn, total spending.
![Page 57: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
The classical economists rejected the challenge that underconsumption is possible because they believed flexible prices, wages, and interest rates soon establish balance between supply and demand.
![Page 58: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
John Maynard Keynes rejected the classical theory that the economy self corrects in the long run to full employment. The key in Keynesian theory is aggregate demand, rather than the classicals’ focus on aggregate supply. Unless aggregate spending is adequate, the economy can experience prolonged and severe unemployment.
![Page 59: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
59
The consumption function (C) is determined by changes in the level of disposable income. Autonomous consumption is consumption that occurs even if disposable income equals zero. Changes in such nonincome determinants as expectations, wealth, the price level, interest rates, and the stock of durable goods cause shifts in the consumption function.
![Page 60: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the change in consumption associated with a given change in disposable income. The MPC tells how much of an additional dollar of disposable income households will spend for consumption.
![Page 62: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
62
The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the change in saving associated with a given change in disposable income. The MPS measures how much of an additional dollar of disposable income households will save.
![Page 63: 04 the keynesian model](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be922f4a79598f578b45bb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
63
The investment demand curve (I) shows the amount businesses spend for investment goods at different possible rates of interest. The determinants of this schedule are the expected rate of profit and rate of interest. Shifts in the investment demand curve result from expectations, technological change, capacity utilization, and business taxes.

An autonomous expenditure is spending that does not vary with the current level of disposable income. The Keynesian model applies this simplifying assumption to investment. As a result, the investment demand curve is a fixed amount determined by the rate of profit and the interest rate.

The aggregate expenditures function (AE) shows the total spending in an economy at a given level of disposable income. Assuming investment spending is autonomous, the slope of the AE function is determined by the MPC.

economy.b. becoming pessimistic about the state of the
economy.c. expecting future income and wealth to
decline.d. none of the above.A. If consumers expect good economic
ties ahead, they increase spending at each level of disposable income in the current time period.
