Answer to Question 1

There are two channels here. An increase in future expected output will increase future expected profits. When future expected profits rise, the discounted present value of profits will be higher. More projects will now occur. As investment today rises, demand rises, and, therefore, current output will rise. An increase in future expected output will also increase human wealth and, therefore, cause consumption to increase. The rise in consumption will increase demand and current output.
