What does the term equilibrium mean?
In the Keynesian model, the equilibrium is the point toward which the economy tends
8
In the Keynesian model, where is the equilibrium
level of GDP?It is where the total value of goods and services produced is precisely equal to the total spending for these goods and services
9
What can pull aggregate expenditures higher or
lower in Keynesian economics?
Aggregate expendituresC + I + G + (X-M)
10
What affect do aggregate
expenditures have on the economy?
Aggregate expenditures in Keynesian economics pull aggregate output either higher or lower toward equilibrium
11
What causes a decrease in real GDP
and employment?Unplanned inventory investment accumulation
12
Why does unplanned inventory investment accumulation cause
unemployment? Business firms will cut back production and lay off workers when they find themselves with surpluses
13
What causes an increase in real
GDP and employment?
Unplanned inventory investment depletion
14
Why does unplanned inventory
depletion cause economic growth?
Business firms will increase production and higher more workers to meet the level of demand for their product
15
What is the aggregate expenditures-output
model?The model that determines the equilibrium level of real GDP by the intersection of aggregate expenditures and aggregate output

Summary
46
The Keynesian argues that the economy is inherently unstable and may require government intervention to control aggregate expenditures and restore full employment.
47
If we assume that real disposable income remains the same high proportion of real GDP, then we can substitute real GDP for real disposable income in the Keynesian model.
48
Government spending and net exports can be treated as autonomous expenditures in the Keynesian model.
49
Net exports are the only component of aggregate expenditures that changes from a positive to a negative value as real GDP rises. Both exports and imports are determined by foreign or domestic income, tastes, trade restrictions, and exchange rates.

The Keynesian aggregate expenditures-output model determines the equilibrium level of real GDP by the intersection of the aggregate expenditures and the aggregate output and income schedules.
53
Each equilibrium level in the economy is associated with a level of employment and corresponding unemployment rate.
54
At any output greater or less than the equilibrium real GDP, unintended inventory investment pressures businesses to alter aggregate output and income until equilibrium at full-employment real GDP is restored.

57
The spending multiplier is the ratio of the change in equilibrium output to the initial change in any of the components of aggregate expenditures.
58
Algebraically, the multiplier is the reciprocal of the marginal propensity to save. The multiplier effect causes the equilibrium level of real GDP to change by several times the initial change in spending.
59
To eliminate a positive GDP gap, the Keynesian solution is to increase autonomous spending by an amount equal to the recessionary gap and operate through the multiplier to increase equilibrium output and income.

An inflationary gap is the amount by which aggregate expenditures exceed the amount necessary to establish full-employment equilibrium and indicates upward pressure on prices.
