The multiplier effect is
The knock-on effect
Multiplier effect equation
1/1-MPC or 1/MPW
$200m invested times multiplier effect = AD
AD-200m =increase
-New housing project costs 200m, new output into economy.
-Many businesses benefit directly e.g electricians, scaffolders
-Building new houses generate a new flow of factor incomes- including wages and profit, However will rise in income stay in circular flow of income?
-Multiplier effect is strong
Govt investment results in a high multiplier, generally. Normally in developing countries.
Classical economists belief
Belive that negative and positive output gaps can only exist in the short run
