Equilibrium National Income (Part-1)

National Income: According to Keynesian theory, an economy is in equilibrium when aggregate demand (AD) for goods and services is equal to aggregate supply (AS) during a period of time and doesn’t show any tendency to change. So, equilibrium is achieved when AD = AS, i.e. when planned investment is equal to planned saving. According to Keynes, there is another approach through which equilibrium income is determined and that is called S and I approach. The two approaches for determination level are: ·          AD – AS approach ·          S – I approach. Assumptions in determination of equilibrium income: ·          This determination of income assumes two sector economy, which means there is only firms and households. ·          There is no government sector, which means there is no government spending and taxes. ·          It is closed economy, which means there is no international trade with the rest of the world i.e., there is no export and import. ·
