CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A consumer allocates increased income between movies and popcorn, maintaining a budget constraint. The feedback loop ensures total spending equals income, illustrating the budget line shift mechanism.
Key decisions
- Model the consumer as a controller that adjusts spending to match income
- Use a sum to calculate budget error and a separate sum to aggregate total spending
