Keynesian Economics According to John Maynard Keynes: in the short-run, the level of GDP is determined primarily by demand.
Keynesian Consumption Function The relationship between consumer spending and income, in the short-run, has two parts:C = Ca + by • C = Consumption Spending; • Ca = Autonomous Consumption Spending; • b = Marginal Propensity to Consume; and • y = Level of Income.
Keynesian Saving Function The relationship between the level of saving and the level of income, in the short-run, is: S = - Ca + (1 - b)y • S = Consumer Saving; • Ca = Autonomous Consumption Spending; • 1 - b = Marginal Propensity to Save; and • y = Level of Income.
