Aggregate demand (AD)
The total planned expenditure in an economy at any given possible overall price level
Aggregate supply
The total quantity of goods and services firms are willing to produce at each price level
The multiplier
Where an increase or decrease in AD leads lo a larger final change in National income (GDP)
Marginal Propensity to Consume
Proportion of a change in disposable income which is spent in the domestic economy
Marginal Propensity to Save
Proportion that is saved after a change in disposable income
Multiplier Formula 1
K = 1/1-mpc
Multiplier Formula 2
1/MPW (MPS+MPM+MPT)
Injection
Putting money into the Economy.
e.g Exports, Government Spending, Investment
Withdrawal
Taking money out of the economy
e.g Tax, Imports, Savings
Marginal Propensity to Import (MPM)
The proportion of a change in disposable income which is spent on imports
(MPM = ∆M/∆Yd)
Marginal propensity to tax (MPT)
The proportion of a change in income which is paid in tax
(MPT = ∆T/∆Y)
Marginal propensity to withdraw (MPW)
MPS + MPM + MPT
Change in GDP
K × injection / withdrawal
