The higher the domestic income, the higher the marginal propensity to import. - How much spare capacity there is to supply resources. The less there is, the more raw materials will need to be imported. ## Test yourself on Components of Aggregate Demand - Which of the following would lead to an increase in aggregate demand? - What term refers to spending on capital? -
