2.4.4 The multiplier

What is the multiplier ratio?

A

The initial injection raises income for its recipients, who spend part of it; this spending becomes others' income and is partly re-spent in further rounds.

B

The ratio of the final change in national income to the initial change in injections.

C

A higher MPC means more income is re-spent in each round, producing a larger multiplier.

D

The marginal propensity to withdraw: the fraction of extra income that leaks out through saving, tax and imports.
