This short video tutorial looks at the national income multiplier and the factors that affect the numerical value of the multiplier.
Key revision question: What is the multiplier?
If there is an initial injection (e.g. a rise in exports), then the final increase in aggregate demand and real GDP will be greater. The size of the multiplier coefficient is affected by the marginal rate of withdrawal / leakage from the circular flow of income.
