Injections
Investment government spending exports
Withdrawals

rate of withdrawals = rate of injections , AD = AS
Net injections
expansion of output
Net withdrawals
contraction of production
Multiplier
Ratio of the rise of national income to the rise in AD
1/1-MPC or 1/MPW MPW = MPS + MPT + MPM
Multiplier effect
when there’s new demand in an economy leading to an injection of more income into the circular flow of income leading to economic growth
Effects of MPC on the multiplier
higher mpc higher multiplier
Effects of MPS on the multiplier
MPS + MPC = 1 more saving smaller multiplier
Effects of MPT on the multiplier
higher tax less income smaller multiplier
Effects of MPM on the multiplier
spending on imports than domestics withdraws from circular flow of income smaller multiplier
