Recall:
Keynes believed that the government should intervene to
smooth the sharp fluctuations of the business cycle. This
intervention can be done through fiscal and monetary
policies, that affect directly and indirectly the aggregate
demand. Otherwise, the economy would face undesired
levels of unemployment and inflation.
To understand how can the government policies affect AD, we need
to further understand the different components of AD, and what are
the determinants of each component.
Recall, AD = C + I + G + (X - M)
2
First, Consumption expenditure
Consumption expenditure is the largest component in AD.
Therefore, understanding the determinants of consumption is
critical to understanding forces affecting AD; and hence the
required policies to change income and output.
Note: Total consumption
expenditure amounted to about
63% of total GDP in Kuwait,
2000. (65% private & 35%
government).
3
The main determinants of consumption expenditure:
Income: Households increase spending on goods &
services, when their income rises.
Wealth: An increase in household wealth (assets) will
increase consumption.
Taxes : Higher taxes will lower disposable income
of the household and reduce consumption.
4
Expectations: expectations regarding future economic
growth, jobs, social & political instability, price levels..etc.
affect consumption levels now.
Demographic change: population growth and its
distribution affect consumption levels. (younger and older
households generally consume more and save less than middle aged groups.
Emulation: The impact of the demonstration effect,
keeping up with others’ level of consumption.
5
Interest rate : When interest rates increase it
encourages more savings and hence reduced
spending.
Advertisement & consumer loans: Increased
levels of advertisements encourages more spending .
The availability of consumer loans finance further
consumption.
6
Keynes emphasized the impact of income on consumption. Assuming
other factors constant, there is a positive relationship between income
and consumption. Higher income levels are associated with higher
levels of consumption and saving. Hence we can say that consumption
is induced by income (induced consumption )
Q: What is the consumption level when income equals zero?
In the simple Keynsian consumption function, consumption consists
of two parts : autonomous consumption + induced consumption
7
Then,
Or:
C = a + ΔC / ΔY * Y
C=a+bY
Note : we are assuming other factors constant including taxes
Since Y = C + S
S = Y-C
S=Y- a+bY
Then, the saving function :
S = -a + (1- b) Y
8
Note: If fixed taxes are applied, then:
Disposable income (y) = Y - T
C = a + b (Y- T)
And,
S = -a + (1- b) (Y- T)

Average propensity to consume and save
Average propensity to consume : The fraction of total income
that households spend on consumption
APC = C / Y
Average propensity to save: The fraction of total income that
the households save
APS = S / Y

Marginal propensity to consume and save
Marginal propensity to consume : The additional (change)
consumption that results from an additional (change) unit of
income
MPC = Δ C / Δ Y
Marginal propensity to save: The saving that results from an
additional unit of income.
MPS = Δ S / Δ Y

17
Examples (assuming taxes = 0)
1: if income increased from KD 500 m
to 600 m. and as a result consumption level increased from
KD 300 m. to 360 m., what is the value of MPC & MPS ?
2: if C = 30 + 0.8 Y
Y = 400 ?
what is the value of APC at
3: if C1 = 340 , C2 = 500 when Y1 = 400 & Y2 = 600
what is the consumption and saving functions?
18
Answers:
1: MPC = 60%
MPS = 40%
2: C = 30 + 0.8 (400) = 350
APC = 350 / 400 = 0.875
3: b = 160 / 200 = 0.8
C=a+bY
340 = a + 0.8 (400)
C = 20 + 0.8 Y
S = -20 + 0.2 Y

Second, Investment expenditure
Investment is business spending on capital goods and inventories.
Unlike consumption expenditure, investment is the least stable
component of AD.
Investment spending decision, generally, depends on the expected
profitability of such spending. There are many factors that affect
this expectation, which in turn, affect investment expenditure.
21
The main determinants of investment expenditure:
Real interest rate: Investment is negatively related
to interest rate (which is the cost of borrowed funds).
As interest falls (other things being equal),
investment increases
Technology: New technologies stimulate investment
expenditure.
Taxes & Subsidies: Higher corporate taxes will
increase costs of production and lower investment
(subsidies will reduce costs and increase investment.
22
Capacity utilization: As firms approach their full
production capacity, more investment expenditure is
required to expand output (excess capacity reduces
investment expenditure).
Costs of production: Higher costs of production will
lower expected profitability and hence reduce
investment.
Expectations: Investors expectations about future
such as about demand, social and political stability,
costs of production would affect their decisions and
hence investment expenditure.
23
Unlike consumption expenditure, investment is not generally stable
mainly to the different factors affecting investors’ confidence. The
high changes in investment is the main reason for changes in the
business cycle.

Note: in this course we will assume that investment
expenditure is constant.

For the special case of a two sectors economy:

Third, government expenditure
Government expenditure on goods and services is an important
component of AD. The relative share of this component is
influenced by available resources & finance , political and
social orientation of the government, the economic conditions
of the economy and degree of its development. Changes in
government spending (fiscal policies) would affect AD directly.
Note 1: in this course we will also assume that government
expenditure is constant (independent of current income).
Note 2: When we introduce taxes it will only be fixed taxes
(Lump-sum taxes).
30
Note 3: Changes in government spending and taxes are
important tools of the Fiscal policy.

Forth, Net exports
Exports are mainly determined by conditions in other countries
such as income level, tastes, exchange rates, expectations,
government policy, and other political factors; while imports are
determined mainly by similar domestic factors.
Exchange rate ()سعر الصرف: The price in one country’s of one
unit of another country’s currency. (e.g: 1K.D = $ 3.3 = 12
Egyptian Pounds …etc. )
A depreciation of the domestic currency will make domestic
goods cheaper and make foreign goods relatively more
expensive, hence would increase net exports.
Q: What is the role of WTO in affecting international trade?
38
For the Kuwaiti economy (1995- 1999)(million KD):
Total exports (93% oil exports) = 3878.8
Total imports = 2455.2
The balance of trade = 1423.6
()حجم التجارة الخارجية
Total external trade (X + M) = 6334
GDP = 8592.2
The degree of openness of the Kuwaiti economy
( )درجة انفتاح االقتصاد:
= (Total external trade / GDP ) x 100 = 73.8
39
Export is mainly determined by exogenous factors . In this course
we will assume it constant. Imports on the other hand, is similar to
consumption expenditure ( of foreign goods).
Hence,
X=X
M = m0 + m1 Y
m1 = Δ M / Δ Y (marginal propensity to import)
