Yes. (autonomous consumption, dissaving) Saving Household is not spending The ability to save is constrained by (the amount of disposable income, the propensity to consume) Do households save DI = 0? No.  Formulas:  APC = Average Propensity to Consume, APS = Average Propensity to Save MPC = Marginal Propensity to Consume APC + APS = 1 1 - APC = APS 1 - APS = APC APC > 1 = Dissaving -APS = Dissaving MPC + MPS = 1 MPC = 1 - MPS MPS = 1 - MPC  MPC = change in consumption/change in DI (% of every extra dollar earned that is spent) the fraction of any change ...

Aggregate Supply: The level of real GDP (GDPR)  that firms will produce at each price level (PL) Long Run v. Short Run Long Run period of time where input prices are completely flexible and adjust to changes in the price level, always vertical the level of real GDP supplied is independent of the price level the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) marks the level of full employment in the economy (analogous to PPC)  vertical Short Run period of time where input prices are sticky and do not adjust to changes in the price level the level of real GDP supplies is directly related to the price level because input prices are sticky in the short-run, the Short-Run Aggregate Supply (SRAS) is upward sloping upward sloping  Changes in SRAS  an increase in SRAS is seen as a shift to the right a decrease is seen as a shift to the left the key to understanding shifts in SRAS is per unit cost of production per-unit production cost = tot...
