|
|
Domestic consumption |
Denoted as C, and represents 70% of all GDP |
|
|
Disposable income |
Denoted as DI, and is GDP - taxes + transfer payments |
|
|
Real disposable income |
Denoted as RDI. Price adjusted disposable income. Disposable income divided by potential income |
|
|
Real domestic consumption |
Price adjusted domestic consumption. Domestic consumption divided by potential income |
|
|
Consumption function |
As real disposable income increases, domestic consumption increases |
|
|
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) |
Denoted as B or MPC. Is the amount of money one is expected to spend based off of their real disposable income |
|
|
Total spending |
The sum of C + I + G |
|
|
Demand side equilibrium |
When total spending equals C + I + G + (X-IM) |
|
|
Trade deficit |
When (X-IM) > 0 and X >IM |
|
|
Trade surplus |
When (X-IM) < 0 IM >X |
|
|

|
|
Nominal wage |

|
|
Real wage |

|
|
Recessionary gap |
"AS" shifts to the right |
|
|
Inflationary gap |
"AS" shifts to the left |
|
|
Shortage |
When demand is higher than supply. This causes prices to rise This also prompts an increase in quantity |
|
|
Surplus |
When supply is higher than demand This causes an increase in price This will cause quantity to decrease |
|
|
Elasticity of demand |
Change in Price's impact on quantity demanded % change in Q / % change in P Q = quantity P = price |
|
|
Multiplier |
Means, If you spend an extra dollar in this economy, given the MPC, how much will that increase total output |
|
|
Supply shock |
Things that shift "AS" |
|
|
