Income Consumption and Saving
• Consumption and saving –Primarily determined by disposable income (DI)
• Consumption schedule –Planned household spending (in our model)
• Saving schedule –Disposable income minus consumption
–Dissaving can occur

Disposable income (billions of dollars) LO1 10-5
Average Propensities
• Average propensity to consume (APC)
• Fraction of total income consumed
• Average propensity to save (APS)
• Fraction of total income saved
APC = APS = consumption
income income
saving
APC + APS = 1

Marginal Propensities
• Marginal propensity to consume (MPC)
•Proportion of a change in income
consumed
• Marginal propensity to save (MPS)
•Proportion of a change in income
saved
MPC = MPS = change in consumption
change in income change in income
change in saving
MPC + MPS = 1

Nonincome Determinants
• Amount of disposable income
is the main determinant
• Other determinants –Wealth (wealth drives C up)
–Expectations (inflation drives C up)
–Real interest rates (decrease drives C up)
–Household debt (increase drives C up)
LO2 10-10
Other Important Considerations
• Switching to real GDP (see x-axis)
• Simultaneous shifts (C up, S down)
• Taxation (C and S move together)
• Stability (consumption and saving
schedules are relatively stable unless
altered by major tax changes).

Instability of Investment
• Investment is unstable,
rising and falling quite often. –Durability
– Irregularity of innovation
–Variability of profits
–Variability of expectations

The Multiplier Effect
• A change in spending changes real
GDP more than the initial change in
spending
Multiplier = change in real GDP
initial change in spending
Change in GDP = multiplier x initial change in spending

Multiplier and Marginal Propensities
• Multiplier and MPC directly related
• Large MPC results in larger
increases in spending
• Multiplier and MPS inversely related
• Large MPS results in smaller
increases in spending

The Actual Multiplier Effect?
• Actual multiplier is lower
than the model assumes
• Consumers buy imported products
• Households pay income taxes
• Inflation
