Demand-Side Equilibrium:
Unemployment or
Inflation?
A definite ratio, to be called the Multiplier, can be
established between income and investment.

The Mechanics of Income
Determination
● Both the expenditure table and the
corresponding “income-expenditure
diagram” or “45 degree line diagram” show
the equilibrium level of GDP.
● All other levels of GDP are disequilibrium
points, at which GDP will move in the
direction of the equilibrium.

● Algebraic Statement of the Multiplier
♦ Multiplier = 1  (1 - MPC)
♦ The MPC has been estimated to be about 0.9,
implying that the multiplier is 10.
♦ In fact, the multiplier is < 2.

Simple Algebra of Income
Determination & Multiplier
● All of the relationships discussed can be
represented in simple algebra.
Copyright© 2006 Southwestern/Thomson Learning All rights reserved.
Simple Algebra of Income
Determination & Multiplier
● Consumption function: C = a + b(DI)
♦ Positive linear relationship between C and DI
♦ a = autonomous consumption, determined by
factors aside from DI
♦ b = marginal propensity to consume = C/
DI
♦ b(DI) = induced consumption, determined by
DI
Copyright© 2006 Southwestern/Thomson Learning All rights reserved.
Simple Algebra of Income
Determination & Multiplier
● Equilibrium Y = C + I + G + (X - IM), so
Equilibrium Y = a + b(DI) + I + G + (X IM)
● Since DI = Y - T, Equilibrium Y = a + b(Y T) + I + G + (X - IM)
● Therefore Equilibrium Y = a + bY - bT + I
+ G + (X - IM)
Copyright© 2006 Southwestern/Thomson Learning All rights reserved.
Simple Algebra of Income
Determination & Multiplier
● Then solve for Y: Equilibrium Y = [a - bT
+ I + G + (X - IM)] / (1 - b)

Appendix B: The
Multiplier With Variable
Imports
The Multiplier With Variable
Imports
● Exports are probably insensitive to domestic
GDP, but imports are positively related.
● Therefore, net exports decline as GDP rises.
● The effect of this is to lower the value of the
multiplier.
