Analyzing Shifts in Consumption Behavior
An economist observes two separate events in an economy. Event A: A widespread wave of optimism about future job security and economic growth sweeps the nation. Event B: The government enacts a permanent increase in the income tax rate for all households. For each event, briefly explain which component of aggregate consumption (the part dependent on current income, or the part independent of current income) is primarily affected and why.
