Macroeconomics Basics And Its Important Concepts

In this course we discuss the reason to study macro economics, How it differs from Micro economics, the income approach to calculate GDP and the expenditure approach to calculate the same. We will also study some assumptions and hence derive the multiplier from all those concepts. The numerical derivation will help students to solve simple problems on the multiplier which I have also included in my assignments. In economics, a multiplier broadly refers to an economic factor that, when increased or changed, causes increases or changes in many other related economic variables. In terms of gross domestic product, the multiplier effect causes gains in total output to be greater than the change in spending.

In terms of gross domestic product, the multiplier effect causes gains in total output to be greater than the change in spending that caused it. One popular multiplier theory and its equations were created by British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes believed that any injection of government spending created a proportional increase in overall income for the population, since the extra spending would carry through the economy. In his 1936 book, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money," Keynes wrote the following equation to describe the relationship between income (Y), consumption (C) and investment (I)
