What is circular flow of income (2)
Firms pay households for FoPs = national income
National income = spent on G/S = expenditure
Injections to circular flow (3)
Exports
Investment
Gov spending
Withdrawals of circular flow (3)
Saving
Imports
Taxes
If injections greater or smaller than withdrawals
Injections bigger = expenditure bigger than output = should increase output
What is multiplier effect
Injections into economy which leads to an increase income
Formula for multiplier effect
1 / 1 - MPC (marginal propensity of consumption)
MPC + MPW = 1
So k = 1 / MPW
Formula of national income increase
Size of injection times (x) multiplier
Avergae prospensity to consume/ save AND MPC/MPS formula (2)
Consumption/savings divided (/) by total income
Change in c/s divided by change in income
