Derivation of Keynes Multiplier
MPC= Marginal propensity to consume
MPS= Marginal propensity to save
I= investment
∆I= Changed Investment
S= Saving
∆S=Changed Saving
K= Keynes Multiplier
C= Consumption
Y=Income
MPC+MPS=1
MPS=1-MPC---(1)
K= 1/1-MPC or
K= 1/MPS----- ( From-- 1)
∆Y= K.∆I ( K = Keynes Multiplier)
K∆I= ∆Y
K= ∆Y/∆I
S=Y-C
Saving = Income - Consumption
∆S=∆Y - ∆C ---(2)
∆S=∆I---- (3)
K= ∆Y/∆I
K= ∆Y/∆S ----(from 3)
K=∆Y/(∆Y - ∆C) -----( from 2)
Dividing on Numerator and Denominator by ∆Y
K= (∆Y/∆Y)÷(∆Y - ∆C)/∆Y
K= 1÷(∆Y/∆Y -∆C/∆Y)
K= 1÷(1 - ∆C/∆Y)
K =1/1-MPC. ----- ( ∆C/∆Y=MPC)
K= 1/MPS -------- ( 1-MPC= MPS)
