Imagine an economy where the population is divided into two groups. The first group consists of households that save any unexpected income to maintain a stable level of spending over time. The second group consists of households that are unable to borrow and tend to spend any unexpected income they receive immediately. If the government issues a one-time, unexpected cash payment to every household, how would the immediate, aggregate change in spending in this economy compare to a hypothetical economy where all households belong to the first group (the savers)?
