Locate a news article that describes an event that would cause a shift in the Aggregate Demand (Aggregate Expenditure). Describe if the event would cause an “upward” or “downward” shift in the Aggregate Demand curve and why. Briefly explain how this then fits within the Consumption Function.
based on macroeconomic theory, one of the following four answers is a correct description of the concept, “expenditure multiplier”. Which one?
A/ It is the idea that decreasing national income affects the equilibrium level of GDP by the same amount of that decrease in income.
B/ It is the concept that increasing national income affects the equilibrium level of GDP on par with the amount of increased income.
C/ The expenditure multiplier is the idea that a given change in spending leads to an equal change in the equilibrium level of GDP.
D/ It is the concept that an increase in spending causes a more than proportionate change in GDP.

- Which of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending? Select one: a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase. b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.arrow_forwardAggregate expenditure is 790.

Investment is $160 million, government expenditure is $190 million, and net taxes are $250 million. Investment, government purchases, and taxes are constant—they do not vary with income. The island does not trade with the rest of the world. If the government increases its purchases by $200 million, what will be the change in the economy's equilibrium real GDP?
