Income Consumption and Saving
• Consumption and saving
• Primarily determined by DI
• Direct relationship
• Consumption schedule
• Planned household spending (in our
•
LO1
model)
Saving schedule
• DI minus C
• Dissaving can occur

The Multiplier Effect
• A change in spending changes real
GDP more than the initial change in
spending
Multiplier =
change in real GDP
initial change in spending
Change in GDP = multiplier x initial change in spending

Multiplier and Marginal Propensities
• Multiplier and MPC directly related
• Large MPC results in larger
•
increases in spending
Multiplier and MPS inversely related
• Large MPS results in smaller
increases in spending

The Actual Multiplier Effect?
• Actual multiplier is lower than the

model assumes
Consumers buy imported products
Households pay income taxes
Inflation
Multiplier may be 0

Squaring the Economic Circle
• Humorous small town example of the
•
•
•
multiplier
One person in town decides not to
buy a product
Creates a ripple effect of people not
spending, following the first decision
Ultimately the entire town
experiences an economic downturn
