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

In this lesson we use the market as a tool to understand our economic world, specifically, we see how markets move from one equilibrium to another.

One goal of this lesson:

  • Use the market model to examine the why and how of market shocks, adjustments to a new equilibrium.
Why do we do this?
  • Markets in the real world do not remain at the same equilibrium forever. Markets move. Prices and quantities change.

    IMPORTS LINE

    A graphical depiction of the relation between imports bought from the foreign sector and the domestic economy's aggregate level of income or production. This relation is most important for deriving the net exports line, which plays a minor, but growing role in the study of Keynesian economics. An imports line is characterized by vertical intercept, which indicates autonomous imports, and slope, which is the marginal propensity to import and indicates induced imports. The aggregate expenditures line used in Keynesian economics is derived by adding or stacking the net exports line, derived as the difference between the exports line and imports line, onto the consumption line, after adding investment expenditures and government purchases.
