    bubbles are formed by fiscal and monetary policy that are both too expansionary, and reckless. if you live in the states youll know what i mean.

    in the income multiplier is (1/1-MPC), or, one divided by 1 minus the marginal propensity to consume. this could also be expressed as 1/MPS, because MPS+MPC always = 1. MPS stands for marginal propensity to save.

    The TAX multiplier = -MPC/MPS, or, the negative value of the MPC over the MPS.

    The income multiplier is ALWAYS stronger than the tax multiplier, therefore increasing government spending is always more effecting in increasing (or decreasing) AD

    if the government spends money, it should give it to poorer people, because the poor spend a higher % of there income than the rich (doctors).

    You left out that the Philip’s Curve is only valid in the short run and real inflation is a purely monetary phenomenon. 2006 Nobel Prize winner Edmund Phelps showed this.

    There isn’t a right or wrong diagram but diffrent chef examiners do prefer diffrent economics theories so it may be worth while looking in too what type of economics your chef examiner supports and then using the appropriate diagram in your exams, allso if you feel confident with both you can allways use it to evaluate your work I.e so and so depends upon what economic model it is applied on. :)

    The reason he displays it like this is becuase this is what kensyen economists belive the LRAS curve looks like.
    The one illustrated in your text book is what classical free-Market economists belive it looks like.

    I wonder why the LRAS curve is bowed. I’m taking the macroeconomics course right now and my textbook (principles of economics EU 2nd edition) displays the LRAS curve as a straight vertical line aswell as the SRAS (short run aggregate supply) as a straight horizontal line.
