Deficient demand

Q: What does income determination mean in macroeconomics?

Study of how total income is determined in the economy Income determination is the study of how the equilibrium level of national income and output is established. In the Keynesian framework, aggregate demand, consumption, investment, government spending and net exports influence this level. It is therefore an economy-wide macroeconomic concept, not a household budget decision.

This Class 12 Economics topic from “Determination of Income and Employment” explains deficient demand, a situation in which aggregate demand is lower than the level needed to purchase the economy’s full-employment output. Students learn how insufficient consumption, investment, government spending, or net exports can create a deflationary gap, reduce income and production, and cause involuntary unemployment. The topic also introduces the role of fiscal and monetary measures in restoring aggregate demand and employment.
