Income-Consumption and Income-Saving Relationships
• Disposable income is the most important factor in how much spending consumers do
• What is not spent (consumed) is saved
![Page 4: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Basic Relationships
• Income and consumption are related; as income increases, consumption increases
• Income and saving are also related; as income increases, savings increases
• Assume all disposable income is totally consumed– On a graph showing consumption of the “Y”
axis, and disposable income on the “X” axis, a 45°reference line would result
– Anywhere on that line, C=DI
• Remember S = DI - C

Interpreting the graph
• The consumption schedule (or curve) indicates increasing consumption with increasing income
• The saving schedule (or curve) is the difference between disposable income (DI) and actual consumption– For example, if the DI is $7000 (billions) and actual
consumption was $6000 (billion), then savings = $7000-$6000 = $1000 (billion)
– Or, on the graph, savings are the difference between the consumption curve (c) and the 45 degree reference line
– For most years, savings were positive; however, in 2005 personal saving was a negative $33.5 billion!

Consumption and Saving
• Break-even income is when consumers spend their entire disposal income on consumption– Break-even income is represented anywhere along
the 45 degree reference line• The fraction or percentage of total income that is
consumed is the average propensity (or willingness) to consume (APC)
• The fraction or percentage of total income that is saved is the average propensity to save (APS)
APS =SavingIncome
APC =Consumption

Consumption and Saving
• Marginal propensity to consume or MPC is a measurement of the willingness to consume with a marginal increase in disposable income– MPC may change with increases in DI
• Marginal propensity to save or MPS is a measurement of the willingness to save– It also may vary
MPC = Change in ConsumptionChange in Income
MPS =Change in SavingChange in Income

Consumption and Saving
• Non-income determinants of consumption and saving
• There are other factors which influence households to consume more or less at each possible level of income–That would change the shape of the
consumption and saving schedules (curves)
10-13
![Page 14: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other factors which influence consumption and spending
Wealth: a households wealth is the dollar amount of all assets its owns minus the dollar amount of all its liabilities• The larger the stock of wealth of a
household, the larger will be its consumption
• Greatly increased wealth often results in an increase in spending on consumption and a decrease of savings.
• Upturns in the stock market will cause people to consume much more and save much less
![Page 15: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Other factors which influence consumption and spending
Borrowing money by households will influence their consumption and spending• By borrowing, a household can
increase current consumption beyond what they could if limited to DI
• However, while borrowing increases present consumption, it lowers consumption in the future when debts such as credit cards and loans have to be repaid
![Page 16: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other factors which influence consumption and spending
Real interest rates have been adjusted for inflation• For example, nominal interest rate
minus rate of inflation = real interest rate• When real interest rates fall, households
tend to borrow more, consume more, and save less
• However, the real effect on consumption and savings is somewhat modest
• They mainly shift consumption toward products bought on credit and away from items that cannot be bought on credit
![Page 17: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other factors which influence consumption and spending
• Household expectations about future prices may affect current spending and saving• If households expect prices to go up
soon, they may hurry and spend more today but save less
• If a recession is anticipated, leading to lower future income, households may reduce consumption and save more
![Page 18: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Consumption and Saving
• Other important considerations• Macroeconomic models use real GDP instead of
Disposable Income– When plotting real GDP against Consumption (Figure
10.4) , changes in points along the schedule curve reflect changes in the amount consumed caused by a change in GDP
• However, if the entire consumption curve shifts upward or downward, that shift is caused by changes in one or more of the non-income factors just discussed
10-18
![Page 19: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Consumption and Saving
• When taxes are increased or decreased, the consumption and saving curves shift in the same direction
• Taxes are paid partly at the expense of consumption and partly at the expense of savings
• An increase in taxes will reduce both consumption and saving, shifting both the savings and consumption curves downward
• If taxes were reduced, households will partly consume and partly save any money saved in decreased taxes, shifting both savings and consumption curves upwarad
![Page 20: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Interest Rate and Investment
• When firms invest, the benefit they expect to get from that investment is the expected rate of return (r)– The marginal benefit from investment is the expected
rate of return– The marginal cost is the interest rate that must be paid
for borrowed funds• The real interest rate (i) is the determinant of
whether the expected rate of return is profitable– Nominal rate less rate of inflation is the real interest
rate– This interest rate represents either the cost of
borrowed funds or the opportunity cost of investing your own funds, which is income forgone
10-20

Interest Rate and Investment
• If a firm expects a rate of return of 7% on an investment of $10,000 or $700; it would not want to borrow money at any rate higher than 7%– For money borrowed at any rate above 7%,
the firm would lose money– For money borrowed at any rate below 7%,
the form would make money– This general rule applies; the Rate of Return
must equal the real interest rate or the investment should not be undertaken
![Page 22: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Investment demand curve
• There is a predictable relationship between how much money companies want to invest, their expected rate of return, and the real interest rate of the money they need to borrow for their investment– The amount of money invested will increase
as the real interest rate is decreased
![Page 23: Basic Macroeconomic Relationships Chapter 10 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032706/56649e015503460f94aebc4f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Investment Demand Curve
• The investment curve may shift–Greater expected returns create more
investment demand and the curve shifts to the right
–The reverse causes a shift to the left–Acquisition, maintenance, and
operating costs may change; higher costs lower the expected return
–Business taxes may change; increased taxes lower the expected return

Investment Demand Curve
–Technological change often involves lower costs, which would increase expected returns
– If there is too much capital goods (i.e., inventory) on hand because of weak demand, new investments would be less profitable
–Expectations about the future economic climate can change the view of expected profits

Investment Demand
• Difficulty in predicting success of investment–Capital goods are durable, so
spending can be postponed; firms will fix old machinery
– Irregularity of innovation; inventions can turn up any time
–Variability of profits–Expectations can easily change
