Aggregate Demand Formula in an Open Economy with Government

Analyzing the Components of the Aggregate Demand Function

Autonomous Demand Components in an Open Economy with Government

A manufacturing firm based in Japan purchases a new fleet of delivery trucks from a company in the United States. From the perspective of the United States' economy, this transaction would be recorded as an increase in which component of aggregate demand?

Match each economic transaction to the component of aggregate demand it directly affects from the perspective of the domestic economy.

Analyzing Shifts in National Spending

A domestic household's purchase of a car manufactured in another country increases the consumption component of total national spending but decreases the net exports component by the same amount, resulting in no net change to the nation's total spending from this transaction.

Examples of National Economic Activity

Calculating a Component of National Spending

In an economic model that includes households, firms, a government, and international trade, the total planned spending on a nation's output is the sum of consumption, planned investment, government spending, and ____.

Volatility of National Spending Components

Which of the following government actions would be directly recorded as an increase in the government purchases component of a nation's total planned spending?

A national government approves a new budget that includes a significant increase in payments made directly to retirees. From the perspective of calculating the nation's total planned spending, what is the immediate, direct impact of these payments?

Exogenous Exports Assumption in the Multiplier Model

In a simplified model of a closed economy with no government sector, the consumption function is described by the equation C = 200 + 0.75Y, where C is total consumption and Y is total income. Planned investment (I) is fixed at 150. Based on this information, what is the total level of spending that would occur if national income were zero?

Components of Autonomous Spending

Analyzing Shifts in Autonomous Demand

In a simplified economic model where total planned spending is determined by consumption and investment, which of the following events would cause a change in the portion of total spending that is independent of the current level of national income?

In a simplified economic model where total planned spending consists of consumption and investment, a decrease in the marginal propensity to consume will lead to a decrease in the level of autonomous demand.

In a closed economy with no government, the aggregate demand function is given by the equation AD = 350 + 0.6Y. In this model, the value of autonomous demand is ____.

In a simplified economic model, a portion of total spending is determined by factors other than the current level of national income. This spending consists of autonomous consumption (spending not dependent on income) and planned investment. Match each economic event described below with its most direct impact on this type of spending.

The Role of Autonomous Spending in Economic Models

In a simplified economic model, the aggregate demand function is initially given by AD = 500 + 0.8Y. If a widespread decrease in consumer confidence causes the portion of spending that is independent of income to fall by 50, what will be the new aggregate demand function?
