The ________ the marginal propensity to import, the ________ the expenditure multiplier.
A.
larger; smaller
B.
smaller; smaller
C.
larger; more negative
D.
larger; larger
E.
None of the above is correct, because the expenditure multiplier is not related to the marginal propensity to import.
Correct option is (A).
Spending multiplier = 1 / (MPS + MPM) where MPS: Marginal propensity to save, MPM: Marginal propensity to import
The larger the MPM, the larger the value of (MPS + MPM) and so, the smaller the multiplier.
The ________ the marginal propensity to import, the ________ the expenditure multiplier. A. larger; smaller B....
-Summer 2018/2019 multiplier b. A higher marginal tax rate and a higher marginal propensity to import both decrease the size of the multiplier d. A higher marginal tax rate decreases the size of the multipller while a lower marginal propensity to import decreases the size of the
The open economy multiplier is calculated as follows: A. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest)] B. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to import)] C. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest + marginal propensity to import)] D. 1/[1minus−(marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to invest minus− marginal propensity to import)]
25. Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.63, the marginal propensity to import equals 0.08, and personal income taxes amount to 9 percent of GDP. The spending multiplier for this economy is equal to _____. a. 0.54 b. 0.80 c. 1.25 d. 1.41 e. 1.85
Q. How do the marginal propensity to consume, the marginal propensity to import and the income tax ratio influence the multiplier? How do fluctuation in autonomous expenditure influence real GDP?
. The marginal propensity to consume in a city is 0.7 and the marginal propensity to import is 0.1. A team proposes a new stadium construction project that will generate $6 million in spending. A. Using multiplier effects, how much will the project generate in total? B. Why is it likely that the actual increase in new income will be much smaller?
