Chapter 1: Multiplier (economics)

In macroeconomics, a multiplier is a proportionality factor that measures the proportional change in an endogenous variable in response to a change in an exogenous variable.

For example, suppose that the value of variable x changes by k units, which causes another variable y to change by M × k units.

The multiplier is then M.

Commonly discussed in introductory macroeconomics are two multipliers.

Commercial banks create money, particularly under the fractional-reserve banking system utilized globally. In this system, new money is created each time a bank grants a loan. This is because, when the loan is repaid, the majority of the funds are deposited back into the banking system and counted as part of the money supply. After setting aside a portion of these deposits as required bank reserves, the remainder is available for the bank to make additional loans. This process occurs repeatedly and is known as the multiplier effect.

The multiplier may vary between countries and will also vary based on the monetary units under consideration. Take M2 as a measure of the U.S. money supply and M0 as a measure of the U.S. monetary base, for instance. The money multiplier is 10 if a $1 increase in M0 by the Federal Reserve causes a $10 increase in
