Multiplier Scoring

A multiplier of two would generate 480 billion of extra spending, compared to a multiplier of one, which would generate just the initial 240 billion.

A multiplier of two would generate 480 billion of extra spending, compared to a multiplier of one, which would generate just the initial 240 billion. If the multiplier is zero, as conservative minded economists believe, there will be no effect on output, only on prices.

An adequate assessment of this capacity requires looking at its multiplier effects.

By contrast, the fiscal multiplier was seriously underestimated as the WEO has now recognized.

Estimates vary from a multiplier of about two all the way down to zero.

President Barack Obama has deployed the confidence multiplier and claims to have contained the recession.

And if taxes target the rich, and spending targets the poor, the multiplier can be especially high.

If the multiplier is zero, as conservative minded economists believe, there will be no effect on output, only on prices.

The world trade multiplier, though less widely recognized, helps to explain why the growth deceleration has been so widespread and persistent.

Because of the multiplier effect, small governments and states, and even large cities, can successfully sponsor the kind of demand that fosters a world class innovation epicenter.

Public funding should help leverage climate friendly private investments. The multilateral development banks, in close collaboration with the UN system, can play a significant multiplier role in this regard.

Workers who otherwise would not have a job now have one, and may spend some of their income on goods and services produced by other people, creating a multiplier effect.

Some claim that infrastructure spending creates a big Keynesian multiplier, a bigger increase in incomes than the initial spending (estimates range up to about 1.5 times the initial increase in spending).

First, it has often been pointed out that austerity can be self defeating, because a reduction in the fiscal deficit can lead in the short run to an increase in the debt GDP ratio if both the debt level and the multiplier are large.

Economists more sophisticated forecasting models also show that the fiscal stimulus had an important positive effect, for much the same reasons as the common sense approach. The non partisan US Congressional Budget Office reports that the 2009 spending increase and tax cuts gave a positive boost to the economy, and indeed had the extra multiplier effects predicted by traditional Keynesian models.

Some claim that infrastructure spending creates a big Keynesian multiplier, a bigger increase in incomes than the initial spending (estimates range up to about 1.5 times the initial increase in spending). But infrastructure spending is usually slow and almost always driven heavily by parochial political considerations.
