- Q1What is the formula for the Keynesian multiplier coefficient?1 + MPC(1 - MPC) / MPC1 / (1 - MPC)MPC + 130s
- Q2In the context of the Keynesian multiplier coefficient, what does a value greater than 1 signify?No impact on GDP from changes in spendingAn increase in spending leads to a proportionally larger increase in GDPA decrease in spending leads to a smaller decrease in GDPA decrease in spending results in a larger decrease in GDP30s
- Q3What is the main purpose of the Keynesian multiplier coefficient in economic theory?To determine international trade agreementsTo estimate the impact of changes in spending on overall economic activityTo calculate government debt ratiosTo predict stock market trends30s
- Q4How does the Keynesian multiplier coefficient differ from the simple spending multiplier?The Keynesian multiplier is calculated as a ratio of change in GDP to change in spending, while the simple spending multiplier is a fixed valueThe Keynesian multiplier coefficient is only applicable to government spending, while the simple spending multiplier considers all types of spendingThe Keynesian multiplier accounts for leakages like savings, taxes, and imports, while the simple spending multiplier assumes all income is spentThe Keynesian multiplier is used in closed economies, while the simple spending multiplier is used in open economies30s
- Q5What does a Keynesian multiplier coefficient of 2 indicate?The impact of spending on GDP will be negligibleThe impact of spending on GDP will be halvedAn initial increase in spending will lead to a doubling of the impact on GDPThere will be no effect on GDP from changes in spending30s
- Q6What is the Keynesian multiplier coefficient also known as?Income-expenditure multiplierSupply-side multiplierMonetary multiplierFiscal multiplier30s
- Q7How does the marginal propensity to save affect the value of the Keynesian multiplier coefficient?The marginal propensity to save has no impact on the Keynesian multiplier coefficientA higher marginal propensity to save leads to a smaller Keynesian multiplier coefficientA higher marginal propensity to save results in a larger Keynesian multiplier coefficientThe relationship between the two variables is indirect and unpredictable30s
- Q8How does the concept of time horizon impact the effectiveness of the Keynesian multiplier coefficient?In the long run, the Keynesian multiplier coefficient is more effective as all leakages are accounted forThe time horizon has no impact on the effectiveness of the Keynesian multiplier coefficientThe effectiveness of the Keynesian multiplier coefficient varies randomly based on time horizonIn the short run, the Keynesian multiplier coefficient is more effective due to less leakage of spending30s
