(i.e. change in M / change in Y)
Marginal propensity to save (MPS) - Answer>>The increase in
saving divided by the increase in income that caused it (i.e.
change in S / change in Y)
Marginal propensity to tax (MPT) - Answer>>The increase in tax
revenues divided by the increase in income that caused them (i.e.
change in T / change in Y)
Marginal propensity to withdraw (MPW) - Answer>>The
increase in withdrawals from the circular flow (S + T + M) divided
by the increase in income that caused them (i.e. change in W /
change in Y); this is the same as the sum of the marginal
propensity to save, tax and import (MPS + MPT + MPM).
Multiplier or national income multiplier or Keynesian multiplier or
real multiplier - Answer>>The figure used to multiply a change
in an injection into the circular flow, such as investment, to find
, the final change in income (assuming the injection is not
determined by income). It is the ratio of the final change in income
to the initial change in an injection. It can be calculated as
