| | Keynesian economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Keynes' theory, there must be significant slack in the labor market before fiscal expansion is justified. | | | To Keynes, the amount of investment was determined independently by long-term profit expectations and, to a lesser extent, the interest rate. | | | Keynes, pointing to the sharp fall in employment and output in the early 1930s, argued that whatever the theory, this self-correcting process had not happened. |

| | He argued that Keynes 's General theory was deficient in not specifying a link from "real balances" to current consumption, and that the inclusion of such a " wealth effect " would make the economy more 'self correcting' to drops in aggregate demand than Keynes predicted. | | | Keynes said that a drop in aggregate demand could lower employment and the price level (an everyday concept in the deflationary depression). | | | The Pigou effect would counterbalance this by shifting the IS curve right due to rising real balances raising expenditures. |

| | During World War II, Keynes argued in How to pay for the war that the war effort should be largely financed by higher taxation, rather than deficit spending, in order to avoid inflation. | | | Keynes argued that "It is a mistake to think one limits one's risks by spreading too much between enterprises about which one knows little and has no reason for special confidence... | | | Keynes' theories were so influential, even when disputed, that a subfield of Macroeconomics called Keynesian economics is further developing and discussing his theories and their applications. |

| | The Theories of John Maynard Keynes |
| | Keynes new theory, on the other hand, conveyed a politically much more palatable solution to unemployment: according to Keynes, the solution to unemployment was a growth in government spending. | | | The particular form of government spending advocated by Keynes was for the government to purposely adopt a policy of budget deficits; this he called "fiscal policy." | | | Government spending, for Keynes, fills the gap that necessarily must exist in a free economy between savings and investment, a gap which, if not filled by the government's spending, would be filled with unemployed people and unsold goods. |

| | Keynes was allowing only a short-run effect on the interest rate resulting from the lag between the entrepreneurs' securing of funds and their spending them. | | | Keynes was inclined to jump to the beginning of the next period and thus conclude no effect on the loanable funds market from a change in the propensity to save. | | | Like Keynes, the loanable funds theorists, who included Haberler ([1939] 1958), Hawtrey (1937a,b), Ohlin (1937a,b), and Robertson (1934, 1937, 1940), had moved beyond the dual treatise conception of economics according to which the Principles of Value and Distribution are dealt with in one volume and the Principles of Money in another. |

| | The multiplier effect suggests that the shift in aggregate demand could be larger The crowding out effect suggests that the shift in aggregate demand could be smaller than the original amount of the government purchase. | | | Once all the effects are added together, the total impact on the quantity of goods and services demanded can be much larger than the initial effect of the higher government spending. | | | The Multiplier Effect Definition of multiplier effect - the notion that a dollar spent can raise the aggregate demand for goods and services by more than a dollar If government spends money it is government's expenditure but income for the receiver. |

| | THE TROUBLE WITH KEYNES |
| | The New Economics of Keynes shifted the focus of attention from the market to the government, from the economically justified changes in market pricing to the politically justified changes in government spending. | | | In the simplistic formulations of macroeconomic textbooks, investment is simply "given"; in Keynes's own formulation, the inclination of the business community to invest is governed by psychological factors as summarized by the colorful term "animal spirits." Keynes recognized that there are some "external factors" at work, such as foreign affairs, population growth, and technological innovations. | | | Thus, while the intention of Keynesian policy is to stabilize the economy, the actual effect is to "Keynesianize" the economy: It causes the economy to behave in exactly the same perverse manner that is implied by the Keynesian assumptions. |

| | The Keynesians Counterattack |
| | A fourth effect proposed by Keynes is that deflation and the consequent rise in the debt burden will both depress the "animal spirits" of indebted businessmen if not wholesale bankruptcy outright ( Keynes, 1936: p.264). | | | As he notes falling money wages and price levels will lead to redistributions of income - firstly, from wage-earners to non-wage earners and, secondly, from debtors to creditors, the net effect of which would be the reduction in the economy-wide marginal propensity to consume ( Keynes, 1936: p.262). | | | The result of price flexibility in situations of unemployment, then, is once again a decline in consumption demand and thus a further reduction in aggregate demand and employment. |

| | Keynes was not convinced that interest rate policy was any more important to investors than their belief that a given level of investment would return a particular level of profit. | | | Thus Keynes faced two serious problems as he began trying to restart the capitalist system during the 1930s; the lack of a new labor-using innovation and the application of an innovation which was drastically lowering the labor needed in the existing sectors. | | | The description of this economic collapse by Keynes was 'secular stagnation.' Keynes attempted to use federal deficit spending to reemploy out-of work labor, thus in effect refloating the labor theory of value until private investment could restart and support the labor theory again. |

| | Keynes' prescriptions for monetary inflation, deficit spending, rejection of the gold standard, and high levels of government spending and taxation were tailor-made for the democratic-socialist welfare/warfare states then being erected in various Western nations. | | | Keynes logically seizes upon the public budget and gov't. | | | The key to understanding Keynes is the notion that at particular times in the business cycle, an economy can become over-productive (or under-consumptive) and thus, a vicious spiral is begun that results in massive layoffs and cuts in production as businesses attempt to equilibrate aggregate supply and demand. |

| | If the liquidity effect is dominant (scenario a) then an increase in money supply growth is required to decrease interest rates. | | | Since an increase in the money supply has an expansionary effect which raises national income, the demand for money increases. | | | Since an increase in the money supply causes an increase in the overall price level in the economy, the demand for money increases. |

| | A Logical Vacuum - Reading notes on The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, 1936, by John Maynard Keynes |
| | Keynes now embarks on an extraordinary rigmarole to define the user cost, U. This term first made its appearance on p23, where it seemed to be essentially or mainly the cost of stuff bought in, now denoted by A1. | | | If we take (Keynes has a cavalier disregard for clarity on such matters) net income to be what he has specifically said it is, namely income minus V, the foreseeable depreciation due to the mere passage of time, this gap must be made up of use-depreciation and new capital goods investment. | | | Keynes was one of the most fluent and plausible rhetoricians of his age, and it could be argued that his work can be examined only by dismantling his rhetoric line by line to expose the total logical vacuum which in cold objective fact the General Theory is. |

| | In situations of unemployment, as money wages and price levels decline, then the real money supply rises (the Keynes effect) which, as we saw, shifts the LM curve to the right. | | | Effectively, they turned the Keynesian revolution on its head by concluding that Keynes 's theory was merely the "special" case of a more general Neoclassical one - true when any of these three conditions obtained, untrue otherwise. | | | Don Patinkin (1956, 1972) seemed to agree that outside wealth should be regarded only as the liabilities of the government and real capital. |

| | For in that case the expectation of some future yield from investment would be improved, and the resources released from preparing for present consumption could be turned over to preparing for the future consumption. | | | It would, however, be an unlikely coincidence that the propensity to save in conditions of full employment should become satisfied just at the point where the stock of capital reaches the level where its marginal efficiency is zero. | | | But it is not unlikely that, in such circumstances, the eagerness to obtain a yield from doubtful investments might be such that they would show in the aggregate a negative net yield. |
