MACROECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUM THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT ECONOMICS – A COURSE COMPANION-2 nd Edition 2012 (Blink & Dorton: p )

The Multiplier Effect If a government decides to fill a deflationary gap by increasing its own spending, the final increase in aggregate demand will actually be greater than the amount of spending. Any increase in aggregate demand will result in a proportionally larger increase in aggregate demand. This is explained by the multiplier effect.

The Multiplier Effect & The Circular Flow Model Government spending and business investment are injections into the circular flow of income and any injections are multiplied through the economy as people receive a share of the income and then spend a part of what they receive.

An Example of the Multiplier Effect Government Spending: $100 million on a building project This $100 million goes to a vast number of people for the factors of production they provide. The factors of production are  land (all natural resources),  labour ( workers),  capital (machinery)  enterprise (managerial skills, abilities)

An Example of the Multiplier Effect Government Spending: $100 million on a building project The money goes an income for the labour provided by people such as architects, engineers, builders, electricians, plumbers and designers. The provider of the capital and raw materials such as concrete, steel, minerals, water and electricity also receive a share of the spending. So $100 million ends up as income in the pockets of people who provide the factors of production for the building project.

An Example of the Multiplier Effect Government Spending: $100 million on building project What do people do with the income? Some of its goes back to the government as taxes, some of it is saved, some of it is spent on foreign goods and services and the rest is spent on domestically produced goods and services. The first three options are withdrawals from the circular flow of income.

An Example of the Multiplier Effect Government Spending: $100 million on a building project The money that is spent goes as income to a new set of recipients, who then behave in the same way - they pay some in taxes, some is saved, some is spent on domestic goods and services. During each “round” some income is withdrawn from the circular flow and some stays to be re-spent.

$100 million dollar example – simplified: The average behavior is observed: 20% of all additional income goes to taxes ($20 million) 10% is saved. ($10 million) 10% is spent on imported goods and services. ($10 million) 60% of income spent on domestic goods and services. ($60 million)

The Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) MPC is the amount spent domestically on goods and services. In our previous example, we said this was 60%. When doing MPC calculations, we express the 60% as a decimal – so 0.6

$100 million becomes to $250 million The final addition to national income, when all the money has been spent and re-spent, amounts to $250 million (2.5 times the original government spending of $100 million). In this example, the multiplier is the equivalent to the value of 2.5. Any injection into the circular flow of the economy would contribute 2.5 times its amount to national income.

Formulas to Calculate the Multiplier Effect The value of the multiplier can be calculated by using either the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) OR the value of the marginal propensity to withdraw (mpw).

The Marginal Propensity to Withdraw (MPW) The MPW is the value of the marginal propensity to save (mps), plus the marginal rate of taxation (mrt), plus the marginal propensity to import (mpm)

The Multiplier Formula The multiplier = 1. 1 – mpc OR 1. mps + mpm + mrt = mpw Example 1. 1 – = 2.5 Example = 0.4 = 2.5

Questions – Multiplier Effect 1a. Calculate the Multiplier for an economy where the marginal propensity to consume is b. By how much will national income increase if there is an initial investment of $50,000.

Changes in the Economy’s Multiplier Any change in any of the withdrawals from the circular flow will result in a change in the economy’s multiplier. If the taxation rate increases, then the value of the multiplier will fall. If the marginal propensity to import falls, then there will be an increase in the multiplier.

A Deflationary Gap & the Multiplier If the government is planning to intervene to try to fill a deflationary gap, it must have some idea of two things. First, it must try to estimate the gap between equilibrium output and full employment output. Second, it must have some estimate of the value of the multiplier, so it able to judge the suitable increase in aggregate demand that is necessary to inject into the economy in order to fill the gap. The difficulties in estimating both of these values illustrates one of the limitations of government fiscal policy aimed at managing aggregate demand in the economy.
