The increase in expenditure is the vertical increase from AE0 to AE1. However, the increase in equilibrium output, shown on the horizontal axis, is clearly larger. Improve this page Learn More.

Abstract In the discussion of economic questions, even in the nonspecialist press, many terms are used which until quite recently were employed only by economists or others professionally concerned.
The Process The multiplier process is a chain reaction. Public Finance Thus far the description is of a very simple economy, without taxation, for example. Balance of Payments New exports also have exactly the same multiplier effects as does new domestic investment. Change in Consumption Thus far we have assumed that a change in private consumption bears a fixed proportion to a change in the national income and that the initial economic change comes through either a change in private investment, in government expenditure, or in export.
Download Figure Download figure as PowerPoint slide. An Illustration There are three ways in which new income received may leak out of the system being subjected to the multiplier process.
Table 2. Table 2 Private Income Expenditure on Domestic Consumption Goods Imports Taxes Savings 1st round 50 50 2nd round 60 30 30 3rd round 36 18 18 4th round Employment and Capacity The importance of the multiplier process in modern economic thinking derives from the characteristics of economic depression in industrialized countries, where there coexist large numbers of unemployed workers on the one hand and substantial excess productive capacity in transport equipment, machinery, factory buildings, etc.
Money Income Versus Real Output The effectiveness of the multiplier in increasing real output depends on the level of unemployment and the degree of utilization of capacity. The Elasticity of Supply While the lack of capital goods industries in developing countries makes it particularly difficult for them to create more productive capacity for industry, the problem of securing speedy increases in agricultural output may be even more serious and deep-rooted.

Author: International Monetary Fund. Companies finance their operations with equity or debt, so a higher equity multiplier indicates that a larger portion of asset financing is attributed to debt.
The equity multiplier is thus a variation of the debt ratio, in which the definition of debt financing includes all liabilities. One popular multiplier theory and its equations were created by British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes believed that any injection of government spending created a proportional increase in overall income for the population, since the extra spending would carry through the economy.
In his book, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money," Keynes wrote the following equation to describe the relationship between income Y , consumption C and investment I :. He further defined the marginal propensity to save and the marginal propensity to consume MPC , using these theories to determine the amount of a given income that is invested. Keynes also showed that any amount used for investment would be consumed or reinvested many times over by different members of society.
Because the bank is only required to maintain a portion of that money on hand to cover deposits, it can loan out the remainder of the deposit to another party. The funds spent by the construction company go to pay electricians, plumbers, roofers, and various other parties to build it. These parties then go on to spend the funds they receive according to their own interests. Since Keynes' theory showed that investment was multiplied, increasing incomes for many parties, Keynes coined the term "multiplier" to describe the effect.
The deposit multiplier is frequently confused or thought to be synonymous with the money multiplier. However, although the two terms are closely related, they are not interchangeable. If banks loaned out all available capital beyond their required reserves, and if borrowers spent every dollar borrowed from banks, then the deposit multiplier and the money multiplier would be essentially the same. In actual practice, the money multiplier, which designates the actual multiplied change in a nation's money supply created by loan capital beyond bank's reserves, is always less than the deposit multiplier, which can be seen as the maximum potential money creation through the multiplied effect of bank lending.
Fiscal Policy. Federal Reserve. Thus, an equivalent form for the multiplier is:. Watch the selected clip from this video stopping at for more practice in solving for the spending multiplier. In the real world, the multiplier formula is more complex since economic agents have more options than just spending or saving. They have to pay taxes, and they can buy imports, both of which reduce the amount of money being multiplied. If the leakages are relatively small, then each successive round of the multiplier effect will have larger amounts of demand, and the multiplier will be high.
Conversely, if the leakages are relatively large, then any initial change in demand will diminish more quickly in the second, third, and later rounds, and the multiplier will be small. Changes in the size of the leakages—a change in the marginal propensity to save, the tax rate, or the marginal propensity to import —will change the size of the multiplier. Thus, the spending multiplier in the real world is less than the multiplier derived in our simple example above.
The multiplier applies to any type of expenditure e. Say that business confidence declines and investment falls off, or that the economy of a leading trading partner slows down so that export sales decline. These changes will reduce aggregate expenditures, and then will have an even larger effect on real GDP because of the multiplier effect.
Practice until you feel comfortable doing the question.
