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

Comparisons and Contrasts Between the Textbook “Keynesian” View of the Proper Way to Reduce Unemployment and Keynes’s Own Discussion of the Trade Cycle John Maynard Keynes (June 1883 – April 1946)‚ one of the founders of modern macroeconomics‚ was a British economist who till this day is known as one of the most influential economists of his time. Keynes’s ideas greatly affected the theory and practice of modern macroeconomics and in addition enlightened the economic policies of governments. Keynes

increase the consumers marginal propensity to consume which will therefore shift aggregate demand to the right as all of this additional income is being spent‚ this right shift will then lead to an increase in \economic growth‚ this is shown on the graph below. The government can also decrease taxes such as VAT which will also increases consumer spending as it will make consumers have more disposable income therefore acting as an incentive for them to consume‚ causing aggregate

It can be measured by taking the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) or the slope of the consumption function. Algebraically‚ it is obtained with this formula: If the consumption is equal to the income‚ then the MPC is equal to one. When the consumption is less than the income‚ the MPC gets less
