Context
We now examine the basic relationships between different economic aggregates. More specifically, income and consumption, investment and interest rates, and how output is affected by increases or decreases in spending. It is also important to understand the determination of Gross National Product (GDP), given its production capacity. In addition, it is also important to understand why GDP increases in one period and declines in another.To address these questions, analysts use the aggregate expenditure and the aggregate demand and supply models to better analyze the role of fiscal policy as a tool to stimulate full employment, economic growth, and to control inflation.
