Comparing Policy Impacts on Aggregate Demand
An economic advisor is considering two distinct policy options to boost total spending in an economy. The model for this economy defines total demand as the sum of consumption and a fixed level of investment.
- Policy 1: A tax cut for households that is expected to increase the fraction of each additional dollar of income they spend.
- Policy 2: A government grant to businesses that is expected to increase the overall level of fixed investment.
Analyze and contrast how each of these policies would affect the aggregate demand curve when it is graphed against national income. Specifically, address the impact of each policy on both the slope and the vertical intercept of the curve.

In a closed economy with no government sector, the consumption function is C = 150 + 0.8Y, where Y is income. Initially, planned investment is fixed at 250. If a change in business confidence causes planned investment to fall to 200, what is the new slope of the aggregate demand curve?
Determinants of the Aggregate Demand Slope
In an economic model where total demand is the sum of consumption and a fixed level of investment, an increase in the fixed level of investment will cause the aggregate demand curve to become steeper.
Analyzing Changes in Aggregate Demand
In an economic model, total demand is the sum of consumption and investment. The consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.75Y, where Y is total income. Investment is fixed at a value of 100. What is the slope of the aggregate demand curve in this model?
In an economic model where total demand is the sum of consumption and a fixed level of investment, the slope of the aggregate demand curve is determined solely by the __________.
In an economic model where aggregate demand is the sum of consumption and a fixed level of investment, match each economic change to its corresponding effect on the aggregate demand curve when graphed against national income.
