Consider an economy with only one good, wheat, and no money. Wheat can be planted in one period in order to produce more wheat in the next period. You want to grow some wheat but you have none, so you need to borrow some to get started. The quantity of wheat that you will produce in the next period (output) as a function of the quantity that you plant this period (investment) is as follows. Investment Output 1 3 2 ...
