Cards (3)

  • multiplier means that?
    growth occurs quicker- injections lead to a bigger increase in national income.
    Injections can be targeted at those with the biggest MPC in order to increase the size of the multiplier.
  • there will also be a time lag between the increase in income and the full effect of that increase as not everyone will spend the money straight away.
  • overall effect on the economy?
    depend on the change in AD and the elasticity of the AS curve.
