Components of Aggregate Expenditure
Recall from Chapter 5 that aggregate expenditure for final goods and services equals the sum of
•Consumption expenditure, C
•Investment, I
•Government purchases of goods and services, G
•Net exports, NX
Thus:
Aggregate expenditure = C + I + G + NX

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.

Autonomous versus induced Expenditure
•Autonomous expenditure: The components of aggregate expenditure that do not change when real GDP changes.
•Induced expenditure: The components of aggregate expenditure that change when real GDP changes.

The Consumption Function
The consumption function shows the relationship between consumption
expenditure and disposable income, holding all other
influences on influences on household spending behavior constant.
![Page 7: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is disposable income?
•Disposable income is aggregate income (GDP) minus net taxes
•Net taxes are taxes paid to government minus transfer payments received from government.

Notice that autonomous consumption is given by point A. This is planned
consumption expenditure when disposable income is
zero ($1.5 trillion). This spending must be financed
by past saving or by borrowing
![Page 11: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC)
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the fraction of the change in disposable income that is spent on consumption. That is:
MPC = Change in consumption expenditure
Change in disposable income
Notice that when disposable income increases from $6 to $8 trillion, consumption expenditure changes from $6.0 to $7.5 trillion. Thus we have:

Consumer Confidence has fluctuated lately

Let’s take out a loan so we can “cash out” some home equity.
Rising home values have stimulated household borrowing and consumption in the past decade.

Strong returns on stocks buoyed spending in the late 1990s.

Imports and GDP
Imports are a component of induced expenditure.
Imports depend partly on the health of the
domestic economy.

Marginal Propensity to import (MPI)
The marginal propensity to import (MPI) is the fraction of the change in disposable income that is spent on imports . That is:
MPI = Change imports
Change in disposable income

The expenditure multiplier The multiplier is amount by which a change in any component of autonomous expenditure is magnified or multiplied to determine the change that it generates in equilibrium expenditure and real GDP.

When firms increase investment by $0.5 trillion, sales revenues at investment goods manufacturers (Boeing, Westinghouse, Cincinnati Milacron) will increase by $0.5 trillion
Chain of causation
The $0.5 trillion in revenue will be distributed as factor payments to those supplying resources necessary to produce capital goods—hence the change in spending generates $0.5 trillion in income in the first round.
![Page 38: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Now households have $.5 trillion in additional income. What do they do with it? Their spending will increase by the MPC times the change in income—that is: C = .75 $0.5 trillion = $0.375 trillion Hence, households spend $375 billion and save $125billion
But the story does not end here, since McDonalds’s, Disney, Kraft, American Airlines, and Amheiser Busch, etc. will see their sales increase by $375 billion, and will distribute $375 billion in wages, salaries, rental income, and profits to those who supplied resources necessary to produce the additional consumer goods.
![Page 39: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Those who earned additional income in consumer goods industries will now increase their spending. By how much? C = .75 $375 = $281.85.
This will result in additional production and factor payments. Spending will then increase. And so on. And so on.

Why is the multiplier greater than 1?
As we see from the preceding illustration, a change in autonomous
expenditure (in this case, I) induces a
change in consumption expenditure.
![Page 41: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

You can see from the math that the size of the
multiplier is positively linked to the MPC. The
higher the MPC, the greater the “induced”
expenditure resulting from a change in autonomous
expenditure

Taxes, Imports, and the Multiplier
Once we allow for imports and taxes, the multiplier depends not only on the
MPC, but also on the marginal propensity to import (MPI) and the
marginal tax rate (MTR)
![Page 45: Aggregate Expenditure](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56815d7e550346895dcb8a67/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
