economic ideas from those of the classical model to one of a more hands on approach. In his book Keynes speaks to three main ideas‚ the propensity to consume‚ the state of ones liquidity preference as determing the rate of interest‚ and the marginal efficiency of capital or the anticipated return on their investment in capital assets. The propensity to consume is one which we use most in our everyday lives and one which involves the least amount of uncertainty. We all use our money to purchase

Economics2 CLASSICAL THEORY -The classical theory of employment is grounded in Say’s Law‚ the classical interest rate mechanism‚ and downwardly flexible prices and wages. -The aggregate supply curve is vertical at the full-employment level of output; the aggregate demand curve is stable if the money supply is constant. -Government macroeconomic policies are unnecessary and counter-productive; automatic‚ built-in mechanisms provide for full-employment output.

C = $100 + .8($1000) = $100 + $800 = $900. 1. Using the above figure calculate the marginal propensity to consume between the aggregate income levels of $80 and $100. Also explain why this consumption function is linear. The marginal propensity to consume is equal to $15/$20 = .75. The consumption function is linear because the marginal propensity to consume is constant and therefore the slope is the same throughout all income levels. 2. Assume consumption is

equitable. Equitable means fair‚ but fairness is an elusive concept and it means different things to different people. • A more equitable distribution may help to accelerate growth and promote human and economic development in many ways: • The propensity to consume of the poor is higher than that of the rich so redistribution will increase aggregate demand especially for basic goods and services. • Social tensions are lower and thus governments can more easily undertake important economic reforms which

(Karadimitropoulou 2013) Consumption smoothing is the economic concept used to desire of people to have a stable path of consumption. (Wikipedia) Fisher’s theory argues that consumption decisions are inter-temporal decisions. The reason people consume less than they desire is that their consumption is limited by their income‚ called a budget constraint. When consumers decide how much they spend today versus how much they
