What to Focus On

  • Ex post values are actual/accounting measures.
  • Ex ante values are planned measures.
  • Planned output and planned demand are compared to determine equilibrium.

  • Consumption function: C = C̄ + cY.
  • Autonomous consumption is independent of income.
  • Induced consumption depends on income.

  • Investment function: I = Ī.
  • Investment includes physical capital and inventory change.
  • Investment goods are final goods, not intermediate goods.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ex post values and ex ante values mean the same thing.

Equilibrium income always means full employment output.

Consumption is the same as income, so C = Y.

Memory Tips

Ex ante and ex post measures

Consumption function C = C̄ + cY

MPC range between 0 and 1 inclusive

MPS equals 1 minus MPC
