The relationship between the marginal propensity to consume (the share of their income a person decides to spend) and the marginal propensity to save (the share one decides to save)
A
MPC + MPS = 1
2
Q
Consumption as a function
A
C = (MPC · income) + base consumption
3
Q
Consumption after taxes function
A
C = (MPC · (income - taxes)) + base consumption
4
Q
Taxes as a function
A
T = tax rate · income
5
Q
Imports as a function
A
M = MPI · income
6
Q
Aggregate expenditure/income/GDP as a function
A
Y = C + G + I + (X - M)
Y = MPC(Y - (tax rate · Y)) + G + I + X - (MPI · Y)
7
Q
Expenditure/spending multiplier
A
Multiplier = 1/(1 - (MPC · (1 - tax rate) + MPI))
