Question

This is figure 14.2 in CORE: Aggregate consumption spending, C Autonomous consumption, $c_0$ Consumption = $c_0 + c_1Y$ 0.6 Slope of the consumption function = 0.6 = marginal propensity to consume = $c_1$ 1 Current income (output), Y

          This is figure 14.2 in CORE:
Aggregate consumption spending, C
Autonomous
consumption, $c_0$
Consumption = $c_0 + c_1Y$
0.6
Slope of the consumption function = 0.6
= marginal propensity to consume = $c_1$
1
Current income (output), Y

This is figure 14.2 in CORE:
Aggregate consumption spending, C
Autonomous
consumption, c0
Consumption = c0 + c1Y
0.6
Slope of the consumption function = 0.6
= marginal propensity to consume = c1
1
Current income (output), Y

Step 1

The change in GDP can be calculated using the expenditure multiplier, which is given by the formula: \[ \text{Expenditure multiplier} = \frac{1}{1 - \text{marginal propensity to consume}} \] Show more…

Suppose that the consumption function in the country is as shown in Figure 14.2, and further assume that there is no import leakage. The central government approves a reduction in public consumption by NOK 20 billion. How much will it change GDP.We assume that nothing else happens in the economy other than this. Show the equation. a)GDP falls by NOK 20 billion b)GDP falls by NOK 50 billion c)GDP fell by NOK 12 billion d)GDP falls by NOK 8 billion This is figure 14.2 in CORE: This is figure 14.2 in CORE: Consumption = c,+ c,Y 0.6 Slope of the consumption function = 0.6 = marginal propensity to consume = c, 1 Autonomous consumption, c. Current income (output), Y
