Topic: Investment <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

Investment is business expenditures on gross domestic product for capital goods.
  • The green flow from the business sector to the product markets is investment. The physical flow of capital goods moves in the opposite direction.
The process:
  • Financial markets have buyers (savers) and sellers (borrowers).
  • Savers buy legal claims that divert income TO financial markets.
  • Borrowers sell legal claims that divert income OUT of the financial markets.
  • The business sector borrows income through financial markets, which is used to finance capital investment.

MARGINAL PROPENSITY TO CONSUME

The proportion of each additional dollar of household income that is used for consumption expenditures. The marginal propensity to consume (abbreviated MPC) is another term for the slope of the consumption line and is calculated as the change in consumption divided by the change in income. The MPC plays a central role in Keynesian economics. It quantifies the consumption-income relation and the fundamental psychological law. It is also a foundation for the slope of the aggregate expenditures line and is critical to the multiplier process. A related consumption measure is the average propensity to consume.
