Aggregate expenditure is the total amount of spending in the economy that
determines the level of the GDP. Components of aggregate expenditure are
autonomous expenditure, planned private investments, government expenditure,
and net exports. When autonomous expenditure increases or decreases, it has a
multiplied effect on the GDP.
Referring to the 10-year historical period that you chose for your final project,
discuss an example of a change in autonomous spending. Research a government
policy implemented during that time and discuss the multiplier effect it had on the
economy.
In your response posts to your peers, comment on the conclusions drawn by your
peers regarding the multiplier effect. Choose two posts you disagree with, and
provide constructive critique, supporting your opinion by researching a source to
back it up.
