=C+I+G describe the new equilibrium when government with its spending and taxing is in the picture |
|
TAXES |
its presence changes consumption |
|
MULTIPLIER ANALYSIS |
shows that government fiscal policy is high powered spending |
|
GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE MULTIPLIER |
increase in GDP resulting from an increase of 1 dollar in government purchases -initial government purchase would set in motion a chain of spending |
|
1/1-MPC |
formula for multiplier I (investment) |
|

|
TAX MULTIPLIER |
smaller than expenditure multiplier |
