The Parsimonious Model Make simplifying assumptions

Parsimonious – stingy, miserly
Occam’s Razor -

eliminate complicating details that don’t significantly contribute to the model
Don’t include unimportant variables
Ceteris Paribus (other things being equal) - Hold constant variables that are not the focus of your interest

Aggregate output ≡ National

income
National income ≡ Personal income

Intermediate Macroeconomics

What is an Equilibrium Model? Assumed equilibrium condition

GDP Accounting (Chapter 2):
National

Income ≈ Aggregate Supply
Macroeconomic Models:
Aggregate Supply (AS) = Aggregate Demand (AD)
or
National Income (Y) = Aggregate Demand (AD)

Intermediate Macroeconomics

What is an Equilibrium Model? Disequilibrium

Disequilibrium: aggregate output (or national income)

is not equal to aggregate demand
Undesired Inventory Accumulation: a symptom of disequilibrium where
aggregate output > aggregate demand
Undesired Inventory Draw: a symptom of disequilibrium where
aggregate output < aggregate demand

Intermediate Macroeconomics

3. Equilibrium Model Solution Method

1. Substitute the given equations into

the equation for aggregate demand AD.
2. Apply the assumed equilibrium condition:
  Y = AD
3. Substitute the derived equation for AD from step 1 into the right-hand side of the equilibrium condition in step 2.
4. Simplify the equation. This often means solving for income (Y), since Y should appear on both the left- and right-hand sides of the equation in step 3.

4. Simple Equilibrium Model in Action Describing the economy

AD =

C + I + G + NX
AD = aggregate demand
C = consumption
I = investment
D = government spending
NX = net exports (exports – imports)
YD = C + S
YD = disposable income
S = savings
YD = Y + TR – TA
Y = national income
TR = government transfer payments
TA = government taxes

Intermediate Macroeconomics

4. Simple Equilibrium Model in Action Solving the model

1. Substitute

given equations into equation for AD:
YD = YD
C + S = Y + TR – TA
C = Y + TR – TA - S
AD = C + I + G + NX
= (Y + TR - TA - S) + I + G + NX
2. Apply equilibrium condition:
Y = AD
3. Substitute solution for AD from Step 1:
Y = Y + TR - TA - S + I + G + NX
Simplify equation:
G + TR - TA = S - I - NX

In equilibrium: G

+ TR - TA = S - I - NX
Assume:
Increase in government deficit (G + TR - TA)
Savings (S) and net exports (NX) constant
Result:
Decrease in investment (I)
