Question
Why does equilibrium output increase as the marginal propensity to consume increases?
Step 1
Mathematically, it can be represented as: \[MPC = \frac{\Delta C}{\Delta Y}\] where \(\Delta C\) is the change in consumption and \(\Delta Y\) is the change in income. Show more…

Seeking Equilibrium: Supply and Demand
Why does a reduction in aggregate demand reduce real output, rather than the price level? Why might a full-strength multiplier apply to a decrease in aggregate demand?
In the simple multiplier model, assume that investment is always zero. Show that equilibrium output in this special case would come at the break-even point of the consumption function. Why would equilibrium output come above the break-even point when investment is positive?
