Multiplier effect

Multiplier effect Where an increase or decrease in spending leads to a larger than proportionate change in the national income An initial change in AD can have a much greater change in national income (GDP) injections of new demand for goods and services into the circular flow of income can stimulate further rounds of spending in other words “one person’s spending is another’s income” – and this can lead to a bigger eventual effect on output and employment. Multiplier effect – an increase or decrease in spending leads to a larger than proportionate change in national income

Multiplier effect Consider a £300 million increase in capital investment for example created when an overseas company decides to build a new production plant in the UK This may set off a chain reaction of increases in expenditures. Firms who produce the capital goods and construction businesses who win contracts to build the new factory will experience an increase in their incomes and profits. If they and their employees in turn, collectively spend about 3/5 of that additional income, then £180m will be added to the incomes of others. At this point, total income has grown by (£300m + (0.6 x £300m). The sum will continue to increase as the producers of the additional goods and services realize an increase in their incomes, of which they in turn spend 60% on even more goods and services. The increase in total income will then be (£300m + (0.6 x £300m) + (0.6 x £180m). Each time, the additional rise in spending and income is a fraction of the previous addition to the circular flow.

The Multiplier and Keynesian Economic The concept of the multiplier process became important in the 1930s when Keynes suggested it as a tool to help governments to maintain high levels of employment. This “demand-management approach” was designed to help overcome a shortage of capital investment It measured the amount of government spending needed to reach a level of national income that would prevent unemployment. The higher the propensity to consume domestically produced goods and services, the greater is the multiplier effect The government can influence the size of the multiplier through changes in direct taxes. For example, a cut in the rate of income tax will increase the amount of extra income that can be spent on further goods and services.

Evaluation If people are given extra money do you think they are guaranteed to spend it? No, it depends on their propensity to consumer (or their propensity to save) In 2010 Obama gave Americans a tax holiday but it didn’t help growth much because they just used it to pay debt and to bolster their savings In 2011 he extended the tax holiday arguing that it would prevent the US economy from going into a recession He was managing demand; increasing AD by increasing consumption The success of this policy will depend on? The American’s propensity to consume

Factors affecting the size of the multiplier - evaluation Another factor affecting the size of the multiplier effect is the propensity to purchase imports. If, out of extra income, people spend their money on imports, this demand is not passed on in the form of fresh spending on domestically produced output. It leaks away from the circular flow of income and spending, reducing the size of the multiplier. The UK has a large propensity to consume imports The multiplier process also requires that there is sufficient spare capacity in the economy for extra output to be produced. If there is little spare capacity the multiplier will just cause demand pull inflation

Factors affecting the size of the multiplier - evaluation The multiplier effect will be larger when The propensity to spend extra income on domestic goods and services is high The marginal rate of tax on extra income is low The propensity to spend extra income rather than save is high

Time lags (evaluation) It is important to remember that the multiplier effect will take time to come into full effect. A good example is the fiscal stimulus introduced into the US economy by the Obama government. They have set aside many billions of dollars of extra spending on infrastructure spending but these sorts of capital projects can take months if not years to be completed. Delays in sourcing raw materials, components and finding sufficient skilled labour can limit the initial impact of the spending projects.

The accelerator effect - the principle states that a given change in demand for consumer goods will cause a greater percentage change in demand for capital goods (more I). Accelerator effect At AS you don’t need to know much about the accelerator effect but this diagram summarises it

Accelerator effect The accelerator effect describes how the level of spending on capital investment will be influenced by how quickly demand is growing in the economy Consider a business or an industry where demand is rising at a strong pace. Firms will respond to growing demand by expanding production and making fuller use of their existing productive capacity. They may also choose to meet higher demand by running down their stocks of finished products At some point – and if they feel that the higher level of demand will be sustained – they may choose to increase spending on new capital goods such as plant and machinery, factories and new technology in order to increase their capacity. If this investment goes beyond what is needed simply to replace worn out, fully depreciated machinery, then the capital stock of the business will become larger The increase in C is leading to an increase in I and further increase in AD
