GDP = C + I + G + X – MGDP = C + I + G + X – M
where:where:
C = consumption expendituresC = consumption expendituresI = investment expendituresI = investment expendituresG = government expendituresG = government expendituresX = exportsX = exportsM = importsM = imports
Consumption represents 70% of GDP

Annual level of personal consumption expenditures. Represents 70 percent of our nation’s GDP.

The slope of the consumption function is known as the marginal propensity to consume.

Real wealth effect can be inflationary as we saw in 1990s.What about recent years?

A one-time spike in disposable income or “transitory income” will do little to change consumption behavior since it is not expected to continue.

This shifts the curve upward for given income level, boosts consumer spending to $5,000. This raisesdis-saving to $1,000, raising debt relative to income, and can be inflationary…..
