FIGURE V.1 The Core of Macroeconomic TheoryWe build up the macroeconomy slowly.
In Chapters 23 and 24, we examine the market for goods and services.
In Chapters 25 and 26, we examine the money market.
Then in Chapter 27, we bring the two markets together, in so doing explaining the linksbetween aggregate output (Y) and the interest rate (r), and derive the aggregate demandcurve.
In Chapter 28, we introduce the aggregate supply curve and determine the price level (P).We then explain in Chapter 29 how the labor market fits into the macroeconomic picture.

aggregate output The total quantity of goods and services produced(or supplied) in an economy in a given period.
aggregate income The total income received by all factors ofproduction in a given period.
In any given period, there is an exact equality between aggregate output(production) and aggregate income. You should be reminded of this factwhenever you encounter the combined term aggregate output (income) (Y).
aggregate output (income) (Y)A combined term used to remind youof the exact equality between aggregate output and aggregate income.

describe the curve:

Because the MPC and the MPSare important concepts, it may help to reviewtheir definitions.
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the fraction of an increase inincome that is consumed (or the fraction of a decrease in income that comes

The assumption that consumption depends only on income is obviouslya simplification.
In practice, the decisions of households on how much to consume in agiven period are also affected by their wealth, by the interest rate, and
by their expectations of the future.
Households with higher wealth are likely to spend more, other thingsbeing equal, than households with less wealth.

Economists have generallyassumed that people make theirsaving decisions rationally, just asthey make other decisions aboutchoices in consumption and thelabor market.
Saving decisions involve thinkingabout trade-offs between presentand future consumption.
Recent work in behavioraleconomics has highlighted the role of psychological biases in saving behavior
and has demonstrated that seemingly small changes in the way savingprograms are designed can result in big behavioral changes.

the macroeconomic goods market, equilibrium occurs whenplanned aggregate expenditure is equal to aggregate output.

Because aggregate income must be saved or spent, by definition, YC+ S, which is an identity. The equilibrium condition is Y= C+ I, butthis is not an identity because it does not hold when we are out ofequilibrium. By substituting C+ Sfor Y in the equilibrium condition,we can write:
C+ S= C+ I
Because we can subtract Cfrom both sides of this equation, we areleft with:
S= I
Thus, only when planned investment equals saving will there beequilibrium.

The adjustment process will continue as long as output (income) isbelow planned aggregate expenditure.
If firms react to unplanned inventory reductions by increasing output,an economy with planned spending greater than output will adjust to
equilibrium, with Yhigher than before.
If planned spending is less than output, there will be unplannedincreases in inventories. In this case, firms will respond by reducingoutput. As output falls, income falls, consumption falls, and so on, untilequilibrium is restored, with Ylower than before.

At pointA, the economy is inequilibrium at Y= 500.When I increases by 25,planned aggregate expenditureis initially greater thanaggregate output.
As output rises in response,additional consumption isgenerated, pushing equilibriumoutput up by a multiple of theinitial increase in I.The new equilibrium is found atpoint B, where Y= 600.Equilibrium output has
increased by 100 (600 - 500), orfour timesthe amount of theincrease in planned investment.

The Paradox of Thrift
An increase in planned saving from S0to S1causes equilibrium output todecrease from 500 to 300.
The decreased consumption thataccompanies increased saving leadsto a contraction of the economy and toa reduction of income.
But at the new equilibrium, saving isthe same as it was at the initial
equilibrium.
Increased efforts to save have causeda drop in income but no overallchange in saving.

In considering the size of the multiplier, it is important to realize thatthe multiplier we derived in this chapter is based on a verysimplifiedpicture of the economy.
In reality, the size of the multiplier is about 2. That is, a sustained
increase in exogenous spending of $10 billion into the U.S. economycan be expected to raise real GDP over time by about $20 billion.

In this chapter, we took the first step toward understanding how the economyworks.
We assumed that consumption depends on income, that planned investment isfixed, and that there is equilibrium.
We discussed how the economy might adjust back to equilibrium when it is outof equilibrium.
We also discussed the effects on equilibrium output from a change in plannedinvestment and derived the multiplier.
In the next chapter, we retain these assumptions and add the government tothe economy.
