Equilibrium Output
• planned expenditures
Another term for total demand
for goods and services.
• equilibrium output
The level of GDP at which
planned expenditure equals
the amount that is produced.
equilibrium output = y* = C + I = planned expenditures

Equilibrium Output
Equilibrium output (y*) is
determined at a, where
demand intersects the
45° line.
If output were higher
(y1), it would exceed
demand and production
would fall.
If output were lower (y2),
it would fall short of
demand and production
would rise.

THE CONSUMPTION FUNCTION
Changes in the Consumption Function
Two factors that can cause autonomous
consumption to change:
• Increases in consumer wealth will cause an
increase in autonomous consumption.
• Increases in consumer confidence will increase
autonomous consumption.

FALLING HOME PRICES, THE WEALTH EFFECT, AND
DECREASED CONSUMER SPENDING
APPLYING THE CONCEPTS #1: How do changes in the
value of homes affect consumer spending?
The value of homes in excess of what people borrow with a mortgage is
known as their home equity. Home equity is the single largest component of
net wealth for most families in the United States. Changes in the value of
home equity—like other forms of wealth—affect consumer spending.
The period from 1997 to mid-2006 was paradise for consumers. Housing
prices rose nationally by approximately 90 percent and consumer wealth
grew by $6.5 trillion dollars over that period. The party ended in the summer
of 2006 as housing prices began to fall.
In its review of the literature, the Congressional Budget Office found most
studies estimated a decrease of consumer wealth of $1 would lower
consumption spending by somewhere between $.02 and $.07, or ultimately
from $21 to $72 billion of spending. This decrease would subtract 0.1 to 0.5
percentage points from economic growth during 2007.

INCREASED INVESTMENT SPENDING RAISES GDP
AFTER NATURAL DISASTERS
APPLYING THE CONCEPTS #2: Why does real GDP
typically increase after natural disasters?
When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast and New Orleans in
2005, many economists predicted that it would have only small and
temporary effects on total U.S. GDP.
• Reason: natural disasters can often stimulate economic activity.
• Example: if a hurricane destroys a house, the owner of the house and
the insurance company suffer an important loss.
• The homeowner will typically want to rebuild the house.
• He or she must hire a builder and pay for cement, wood, paint,
windows, appliances, and furniture.
• The purchase of goods and services is new investment spending for
the economy, which stimulates GDP both through its direct effect
and through the multiplier.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING
AND TAXATION
Using Fiscal Multipliers
Though it is very simple, our income-expenditure model illustrates some
important lessons:
• An increase in government spending will increase total planned
expenditures for goods and services.
• Cutting taxes will increase the after-tax income of consumers and will
also lead to an increase in planned expenditures for goods and
services.
• Policymakers need to take into account the multipliers for government
spending and taxes as they develop policies.
In the long run, of course, we are better off if government spends the money
wisely, such as on needed infrastructure such as roads and bridges. This is
an example of the principle of opportunity cost.
P R I N C I P L E O F O P P O RT U N I T Y C O S T
The opportunity cost of something is what you sacrifice to get it.

JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES: A WORLD
INTELLECTUAL
APPLYING THE CONCEPTS #3: How influential a
figure was John Maynard Keynes?
At King’s College in Cambridge, Keynes began a lifetime association with an
important group of writers and artists, the Bloomsbury group, which included
the well-regarded writer Virginia Woolf.
After World War I, he attended the Versailles Peace Conference and wrote a
book, The Economic Consequences of the Peace.
• It condemned the peace treaty and its negotiators.
• This book established Keynes as both a first-rate economic analyst and
a brilliant writer.
Between the wars, Keynes wrote his most famous work, The General
Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, which challenged the
conventional wisdom that economies would automatically recover from
economic downturns.

Increase in Tax Rates
An increase in tax rates
decreases the slope of
the C + I + G line.
This lowers output and

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
To modify our model to include the effects of world spending on exports
and U.S. spending on imports, we need to take two steps:
1 Add exports, X, as another source of demand for U.S. goods and
services.
2 Subtract imports, M, from total spending by U.S. residents. We will
assume that imports, like consumption, increase with the level of
income.
M = my
• marginal propensity to import
The fraction of additional income that
is spent on imports.

THE LOCOMOTIVE EFFECT: HOW FOREIGN DEMAND
AFFECTS A COUNTRY’S OUTPUT
APPLYING THE CONCEPTS #4: How do countries
benefit from growth in their trading partners?
From the early 1990s until quite recently, the United
States was what economists term the “locomotive” for
global growth.
• Our demand for foreign products increased.
• U.S. imports increased along with output during this period.
• The increased demand fueled exports in foreign countries and
promoted their growth.
Studies have shown that the increase in demand for foreign goods
was actually more pronounced for developing countries than for
developed countries.
Conclusion: The United States was truly a locomotive, pulling the
developing countries along.
