1 Chapter 3 A Classical Economic Model what determines the economy s total output/income how the prices of the factors of production are determined how total income is distributed what determines the demand for goods and services how equilibrium in the goods market is achieved 0
2 Economic models are simplified versions of a more complex reality irrelevant details are stripped away assumptions are made are used to show relationships between variables explain the economy s behavior devise policies to improve economic performance 1
3 Endogenous vs. Exogenous Variables The values of endogenous variables are determined in the model. The values of exogenous variables are determined outside the model: the model takes their values & behavior as given. In the model of supply & demand for pizza, endogenous: exogenous: P, Q d, Q s P m 2

5 Model Equilibrium There are usually two elements of model equilibrium Optimization Market clearing Examples Supply and demand Inflow and outflow 4
6 The Use of Multiple Models No one model can address all the issues we care about. For each new model, you should keep track of its assumptions which variables are endogenous, which are exogenous the questions it can help us understand, those it cannot 5
7 A Simplified Structure of the Economy Households Work and get paid Consume and save Pay taxes to the government Firm Decide on inputs and produce Pay out factor income Government Collect tax revenues and pay for government purchases 6

9 Outline of the model - I Key Assumptions: A closed economy Flexible prices (long-run) Factors in fixed supply and fully utilized Perfect competition Market-clearing 8
10 Outline of the Model - II Supply side determination of Inputs Demand side determinants of C, I, and G Equilibrium goods market factor markets loanable funds market 9
11 Factors of Production K = capital: tools, machines, and structures used in production L = labor: the physical and mental efforts of workers 10
12 The production function: Y = F(K,L) shows how much output (Y ) the economy can produce from K units of capital and L units of labor capital: tools, machines, and structures used in production labor: the physical and mental efforts of workers reflects the economy s level of technology 11
13 The Determination of Inputs 12
14 Notation W R P = nominal wage = nominal rental rate = price of output W /P = real wage (measured in units of output) R /P = real rental rate 13
15 Demand for labor Assume markets are competitive: each firm takes W, R, and P as given. Basic idea: A firm hires an extra unit of labor if the cost does not exceed the benefit. cost = real wage benefit = marginal product of labor 14
16 Marginal product of labor (MPL ) 15
17 MPL and the production function Y output F ( K, L) MPL 1 MPL As more labor is added, MPL 1 MPL Slope of the production function equals MPL 1 L labor 16
18 Example: Marginal Product of Labor MPL (units of output) Labor (L)
19 Diminishing marginal returns As a factor input is increased, its marginal product falls (other things equal). Intuition: Suppose L while holding K fixed fewer machines per worker lower worker productivity 18
20 MPL and the Demand for Labor Units of output Real wage Each firm hires labor up to the point where MPL = W/P. Quantity of labor demanded MPL, Labor demand Units of labor, L 19
21 How factor prices are determined Factor prices are determined by supply and demand in factor markets. Recall: Supply of each factor is fixed. 20
22 The equilibrium real wage Units of output Labor supply The real wage adjusts to equate labor demand with supply. equilibrium real wage L MPL, Labor demand Units of labor, L 21
23 Determining the rental rate We have just seen that MPL = W/P. The same logic shows that MPK = R/P: diminishing returns to capital: MPK as K The MPK curve is the firm s demand curve for renting capital. Firms maximize profits by choosing K such that MPK = R/P. 22
24 The equilibrium real rental rate Units of output Supply of capital The real rental rate adjusts to equate demand for capital with supply. equilibrium R/P K MPK, demand for capital Units of capital, K 23
25 Determining GDP Given the production function the assumption of full utilization Output is determined by the fixed factor supplies and the fixed state of technology: Y= FKL (, ) 24
26 The Neoclassical Theory of Distribution states that each factor input is paid its marginal product a good starting point for thinking about income distribution 25
27 How income is distributed to L and K total labor income = W L P = MPL L total capital income = R K P = MPK K If production function has constant returns to scale, then Y = MPL L + MPK K national income labor income capital income 26
28 The ratio of labor income to total income in the U.S., Labor s share of total income Labor s share of income is approximately constant over time. (Thus, capital s share is, too.)
29 The Cobb-Douglas Production Function The Cobb-Douglas production function has constant factor shares: α = capital s share of total income: capital income = MPK x K = α Y labor income = MPL x L = (1 α )Y The Cobb-Douglas production function is: = Y AK α L 1 α where A represents the level of technology. 28
30 The Cobb-Douglas Production Function Each factor s marginal product is proportional to its average product: MPK = α A K L = α 1 1 α αy MPL = (1 α ) A K L = K (1 ) Y L α α α 29
31 Labor productivity and wages Theory: wages depend on labor productivity U.S. data: period productivity growth real wage growth % 2.0% % 2.8% % 1.2% % 2.3% 30
32 DONE DONE Next Outline of model A closed economy, market-clearing model Supply side factor markets (supply, demand, price) determination of output/income Demand side determinants of C, I, and G Equilibrium goods market loanable funds market 31
33 Demand for goods & services Components of aggregate demand: C = consumer demand for goods & services I = demand for investment goods G = government demand for goods & services (closed economy: no NX ) 32
34 Consumption, C Def: Disposable income is total income minus total taxes: Y T. Consumption function: C = C (Y T ) Shows that (Y T ) C Def: Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the change in C when disposable income increases by one dollar. 33
35 The consumption function C C (Y T ) 1 MPC The slope of the consumption function is the MPC. Y T 34
36 Investment, I The investment function is I = I (r ), where r denotes the real interest rate, the nominal interest rate corrected for inflation. The real interest rate is the cost of borrowing the opportunity cost of using one s own funds to finance investment spending So, r I 35
37 The investment function r Spending on investment goods depends negatively on the real interest rate. I (r ) I 36
38 Government spending, G G = gov t spending on goods and services. G excludes transfer payments (e.g., social security benefits, unemployment insurance benefits). Assume government spending and total taxes are exogenous: G = G and T = T 37
39 The market for goods & services Aggregate demand: CY ( T) + I( r) + G Aggregate supply: Y = F ( K, L) Equilibrium: Y = CY ( T) + I( r) + G The real interest rate adjusts to equate demand with supply. 38
40 The loanable funds market A simple supply-demand model of the financial system. One asset: loanable funds demand for funds: investment supply of funds: saving price of funds: real interest rate 39
41 Demand for funds: Investment The demand for loanable funds comes from investment: Firms borrow to finance spending on plant & equipment, new office buildings, etc. Consumers borrow to buy new houses. depends negatively on r, the price of loanable funds (cost of borrowing). 40
42 Loanable funds demand curve r The investment curve is also the demand curve for loanable funds. I (r ) I 41
43 Supply of funds: Saving The supply of loanable funds comes from saving: Households use their saving to make bank deposits, purchase bonds and other assets. These funds become available to firms to borrow to finance investment spending. The government may also contribute to saving if it does not spend all the tax revenue it receives. 42
44 Types of saving private saving = (Y T ) C public saving = T G national saving, S = private saving + public saving = (Y T ) C + T G = Y C G 43
45 Budget surpluses and deficits If T > G, budget surplus = (T G ) = public saving. If T < G, budget deficit = (G T ) and public saving is negative. If T = G, balanced budget, public saving = 0. The U.S. government finances its deficit by issuing Treasury bonds i.e., borrowing. 44
46 Loanable funds supply curve r S = Y CY ( T) G National saving does not depend on r, so the supply curve is vertical. S, I 45
47 Loanable funds market equilibrium r S = Y CY ( T) G Equilibrium real interest rate I (r ) Equilibrium level of investment S, I 46
48 The special role of r r adjusts to equilibrate the goods market and the loanable funds market simultaneously: If L.F. market in equilibrium, then Y C G = I Add (C +G ) to both sides to get Y = C + I + G (goods market eq m) Thus, Eq m in L.F. market Eq m in goods market 47
49 CASE STUDY: The Reagan deficits Reagan policies during early 1980s: increases in defense spending: G > 0 big tax cuts: T < 0 Both policies reduce national saving: S = Y CY ( T) G G S T C S 48
50 CASE STUDY: The Reagan deficits 1. The increase in the deficit reduces saving r S 2 S 1 2. which causes the real interest rate to rise r 2 r 1 3. which reduces the level of investment. I 2 I 1 I (r ) S, I 49
51 Are the data consistent with these results? variable 1970s 1980s T G S r I T G, S, and I are expressed as a percent of GDP All figures are averages over the decade shown. 50
52 Chapter Summary Total output is determined by: the economy s quantities of capital and labor the level of technology Competitive firms hire each factor until its marginal product equals its price. If the production function has constant returns to scale, then labor income plus capital income equals total income (output). 51
53 Chapter Summary A closed economy s output is used for: consumption investment government spending The real interest rate adjusts to equate the demand for and supply of: goods and services loanable funds 52
54 Chapter Summary In the benchmark model, real variables are determined in the real economy. Changes in money supply have no impact on the final output or the real interest rate. In the benchmark model, changes in government spending or taxes have no impact on the final output. However, such changes affect the real interest rate and the composition of output. 53
