Locate a news article that describes an event that would cause a shift in the Aggregate Demand (Aggregate Expenditure). Describe if the event would cause an “upward” or “downward” shift in the Aggregate Demand curve and why. Briefly explain how this then fits within the Consumption Function.
How is it possible for consumption expenditure to be positive even when
disposable income is zero?Why is it necessary for there to be some
consumption when disposable income is zero, and what is this called?
elaborate three determinants in which consumption can be increased according to the consumption function
