SEVENTH EDITION
MACROECONOMICS
In this chapter, you will learn:
 what determines the economy’s total
output/income
 how the prices of the factors of production are
determined
 how total income is distributed
 what determines the demand for goods and
services
 how equilibrium in the goods market is
achieved
Factors of production
K = capital:
tools, machines, and structures used in
production
L = labor:
the physical and mental efforts of
workers
CHAPTER 3
National Income
2
The production function: Y = F(K,L)
 Shows how much output (Y )
the economy can produce from
K units of capital and L units of labor
CHAPTER 3
National Income

Assumptions
1. The economy’s supplies of capital and labor
are fixed at
K K
CHAPTER 3
National Income
and
LL
4
Determining GDP
Output is determined by the fixed factor supplies
and the fixed state of technology:
Y  F (K, L)
CHAPTER 3
National Income
5
The distribution of national income
 Determined by factor prices,
the prices per unit firms pay for the factors of
production
 wage = price of L
 rental rate = price of K
CHAPTER 3
National Income
6
Notation
W
= nominal wage
R
= nominal rental rate
P
= price of output
W /P = real wage
(measured in units of output)
R /P = real rental rate
CHAPTER 3
National Income
7
In 2011 January
 Nominal wage = $20 per hour
 Price of the good = $4 per unit produced
 Real wage = (Nominal Wage / Price )
= $20 / $4
= 5 units of goods.
CHAPTER 3
National Income
8
In 2012 January
 Nominal wage = $20 per hour
 Price of the good = $5 per unit produced
 Real wage = (Nominal Wage / Price )
= $20 / $5
= 4 units of goods.
CHAPTER 3
National Income
9
How factor prices are determined
 Factor prices are determined by supply and
demand in factor markets.
 Recall: Supply of each factor is fixed.
 What about demand?
CHAPTER 3
National Income
10
Demand for labor
 Assume markets are competitive:
each firm takes W, R, and P as given.
 Basic idea:
A firm hires each unit of labor
if the cost does not exceed the benefit.
 cost = real wage
 benefit = marginal product of labor
CHAPTER 3
National Income
11
Marginal product of labor (MPL )
 definition:
The extra output the firm can produce
using an additional unit of labor
(holding other inputs fixed):
MPL = F (K, L +1) – F (K, L)
CHAPTER 3

NOW YOU TRY:
Compute & graph MPL
a. Determine MPL at each
value of L.
b. Graph the production
function.
c. Graph the MPL curve with
MPL on the vertical axis and
L on the horizontal axis.

Diminishing marginal returns
 As a factor input is increased,
its marginal product falls (other things equal).
 Intuition:
Suppose L while holding K fixed
 fewer machines per worker
 lower worker productivity
CHAPTER 3

16
NOW YOU TRY:
Identifying Diminishing Marginal
Returns
 Which of these production functions have
diminishing marginal returns to labor?
a) F (K , L)  2K  15L
b) F (K , L) 
KL
c) F (K , L)  2 K  15 L

Determining the rental rate
 We have just seen that MPL = W/P.
 The same logic shows that MPK = R/P:
 diminishing returns to capital: MPK  as K 
 The MPK curve is the firm’s demand curve
for renting capital.
 Firms maximize profits by choosing K
such that MPK = R/P.

 The Cobb-Douglas production function is:
where A represents the level of technology.

Y  AK L
CHAPTER 3
National Income
24
 The Cobb-Douglas production function has
constant factor shares:
 = capital’s share of total income:
capital income = MPK x K =  Y
labor income = MPL x L = (1 –  )Y

Demand for goods & services
Components of aggregate demand:
C = consumer demand for g & s
I = demand for investment goods
G = government demand for g & s
(closed economy: no NX )
CHAPTER 3

27
Consumption, C
 def: Disposable income is total income minus
total taxes:
Y – T.
 Consumption function: C = C (Y – T )
Shows that (Y – T )  C
 def: Marginal propensity to consume (MPC)
is the change in C when disposable income
increases by one dollar.

Investment, I
 The investment function is I = I (r ),
where r denotes the real interest rate,
the nominal interest rate corrected for inflation.
 The real interest rate is
 the cost of borrowing
 the opportunity cost of using one’s own
funds to finance investment spending
So, r  I

Government spending, G
 G = Gov’t spending on goods and services.
 Assume government spending and total taxes
are exogenous:
G G

and
T T

The market for goods & services
 Aggregate demand:
 Aggregate supply:
 Equilibrium:
CHAPTER 3

C (Y T )  I (r )  G
Y  F (K , L)
Y = C (Y T )  I (r )  G
33
The loanable funds market
 A simple supply-demand model of the financial
system.
 One asset: “loanable funds”
 demand for funds: investment
 supply of funds: saving
 “price” of funds:
real interest rate
CHAPTER 3
National Income
34
Demand for funds: Investment
The demand for loanable funds…
 comes from investment:
Firms borrow to finance spending on plant &
equipment, new office buildings, etc.
Consumers borrow to buy new houses.
 depends negatively on r,
the “price” of loanable funds
(cost of borrowing).

curve is also the

CHAPTER 3

36
Supply of funds: Saving
 The supply of loanable funds comes from
saving:
 Households use their saving to make bank
deposits, purchase bonds and other assets.
These funds become available to firms to
borrow to finance investment spending.
 The government may also contribute to saving
if it does not spend all the tax revenue it
receives.
CHAPTER 3

37
Types of saving
private saving = S = (Y – T ) – C
public saving
=
T – G
national saving, = private saving + public saving
= (Y –T ) – C +

38
Budget surpluses and deficits
 If T > G, budget surplus = (T – G)
= public saving.
 If T < G, budget deficit = (G – T)
and public saving is negative.
 If T = G, “balanced budget,” public saving = 0.
 The U.S. government finances its deficit by
issuing Treasury bonds – i.e., borrowing.
