Assumptions and Simplifications
• Use the Keynesian aggregate expenditures model
• Prices are fixed• GDP = DI• Begin with private, closed economy
• Consumption spending
• Investment spending

* If depreciation and net foreign factor income are zero, government is ignored and it is assumed that all saving occurs in the household sector of the economy, then GDP as a measure of domestic output is equal to NI,PI, and DI. Household income = GDP

LO1 11-5
Planned and Unplanned Expenditures
Aggregate expenditure equals aggregate income and real GDP.
But aggregate planned expenditure might not equal real GDP because firms can end up with larger or smaller inventories
than they had intended.
• Production takes time• Production “for contract” and
“production “for market.”
Production Inventories Sales+ -
Aesop’s Bottles B.C. 400 Investment Plans
Planned spending on buildings, equipment, and tools
20,000 drachmas
Planned inventory investment 0 drachmasValue of inventories on Dec. 31, 401 B. C. 11,000 drachmas
Value of inventories on Dec. 31, 400 B.C. 13,500 drachmas
Unplanned inventory investment in 400 B.C. 2,500 drachmas
Actual investment in 400 B.C. 22,500 drachmas
Other Features of Equilibrium GDP
• Saving equals planned investment
• Saving is a leakage of spending
• Investment is an injection of spending
• No unplanned changes in inventories
• Firms do not change production

Adding International Trade
• Include net exports spending in aggregate expenditures
• Private, open economy• Exports create production,
employment, and income• Subtract spending on imports• Xn can be positive or negative

International Economic Linkages
• Prosperity abroad
• Can increase U.S. exports• Exchange rates
• Depreciate the dollar to increase exports
• A caution on tariffs and devaluations
• Other countries may retaliate
• Lower GDP for all

Adding the Public Sector
• Government purchases and equilibrium GDP
• Government spending is subject to the multiplier
• Taxation and equilibrium GDP
• Lump sum tax
• Taxes are subject to the multiplier
• DI = GDP

• December 2007 recession began• Aggregate expenditures declined
• Consumption spending declined
• Investment spending declined
• Recessionary expenditure gap

Application: The Recession of 2007-09
• Federal government undertook Keynesian policies
• Tax rebate checks
• $787 billion stimulus package

Say’s Law, Great Depression, Keynes
• Classical economics
• Say’s Law
• Economy will automatically adjust
• Laissez-faire• Keynesian economics
• Cyclical unemployment can occur
• Economy will not correct itself
• Government should actively manage macroeconomic instability
11-26
•“Supply creates its own demand.”
•By producing goods and services, firms create a total demand for goods and services equal to what they have produced.
Say’s Law1
1 J.B. Say. Treatise on Political Economy, 1803.
Say’s law apparently rules out the
possibility of a widespread glut of
goods.

Keynes: No guarantee that S will be offset by Planned I
The Classical view
• Market industrialized economies are inherently stable and tend automatically to full employment.
• Government policies that aim to improve the performance of the economy do more harm than good.
• “Laissez-faire.”
The Keynesian View
John Maynard Keynes (1936). The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money
• Market, industrialized economies are inherently unstable and do not automatically tend to full employment.
• Private spending (and most importantly, investment spending) is volatile—causing business cycle fluctuations.
• “The economy needs to be stabilized, the economy can be stabilized, the economy should be stabilized” (Franco Modigliani).
• Keynesian economics is an attack on the Classical theory.
