  • Why does investment vary more than consumption from year to year? 100 words

  • Response to Rhenea 75 words

Investment tends to fluctuate more than consumption from year to year mainly because it is more sensitive to changes in the economy. While consumption usually remains stable because it is driven by people's basic needs and income levels, investment is influenced by outside factors like business confidence, interest rates, and expected returns. During economic uncertainty, companies might cut back on investments because they expect a lower demand in response to inflation. On the other hand, if the economy is in good shape, businesses may be more likely to invest because there is a greater chance they will see a return.
