AGGREGATE CONSUMPTION FUNCTION C = a + b * Yd C = a + b * (Y-T) a – autonomous expenditures a > 0 b – marginal propensity to consume0 < b <1 M = 1/(1-b) – multiplierM > 1 Equilibrium in the simplest economy C = a + b*Y, Y = C; Y = a + b*Y; (1-b)*Y = a Y = a/(1-b)
AGREGATE CONSUMPTION FUNCTION Multiplier : (Y1-Y0)/(a*-a) a C=Y Y C=a+b*Y Y0 C0 Y1 a*
THE EXPENDITURE STRUCTURE C i =A*Y a Engel curves a - income elasticity of demand a < 0; inferior goods, if income increases, the quantity bought decreases 0 < a < 1; if income grows the share a good in expenditures decreases; a > 1; superior goods, if income grows the share of a good increases
