Marginal propensity to consume |
Investment multiplier refers to the increase in the aggregate income of the economy as a result of an increase in the investments done by the government. The ratio of ΔY to ΔI is called the investment multiplier. K = \(\frac{ΔY}{ΔI}\) K = \(\frac{1}{\text{1-MPC}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\text{MPS}}\) Thus, according to the question, we can say that size of the investment multiplier depends on the "Marginal propensity to consume." |
