      @@adamventura733 What high school did you go to?
      In my school, we only covered very basic economics that after we graduated we didn't even know what marginal utility per dollar or increasing return to scale was I use price elasticity of demand for everything now and I'm taking Macroeconomics in my 2nd year in college. Also props, Adam!

      He taught you nonsense. Wealth means products and services, not money. If you don't belive that, adk yourself why is it that the more money there is in curculation, the less you can buy with them, or, in other words, the more useless it becomes.
      The "multiplier effect" is a nonsense concept used to justify government spendig, borowing, taxation, inflation ...which are all the things that make us poorer, not wealthyer.

      Nicely done. Any idea how much money the uber wealthy have hidden in hidey holes to avoid taxation, or for that matter do they save enough to otherwise remove money from the economy to the point that the multiplier is excessively diminished to a harmful degree?

    Listen I have traded stock, stock options, and currencies (only a year on currency once refco went under and stole my 1000, it was losses anyway mostly but. I'm back in school taking macro. the kynesian chart my teacher used same ag demand shifts to left, equilibrium and price point 1 and 2 chart 100 times. My point is everyone this guy knows his stuff and smart enough while being creative also to get you to stay with him till you get it. I click on you first man if your available and at 44 years old just want to say thank you. I have my macro exam today, last one of the semester and need a calculator, will do my best without one.
    Bottom line, math wise, 20% of macro was obvious to me with 15 yrs cnbc viewership but mathwise was lost in class till you. Thank you, I might still get a D but I'm trying for a B and praying for a C. Wish me luck man. Teachers don't get enough credit how important they are, makes me want to be a teacher instead of a hedge fund mgr that is my dream.

  • @samanthahines528
    @samanthahines528 4 года назад

    I love your videos. would you say that I answered this question correctly?
    If MPC is larger, is the Multiplier bigger or smaller? why? explain the process and based on its formula.
    The equation of the Multiplier is MPC= 1/MPS
    When the government spends money, it becomes somebody else’s money. The government wants to spend 20 billion on the military.
    if the MPC is .5 then the MPS is .5 then the 1x10/.5x10=10/.5=2 x 10 = 20 billion
    Then they collect interest on a loan or receive extra money paid. Now the budget for military funding can be increased.
    The new goal of the government is to spend a total of 30 billion dollars on the military budget. The government then hires Boeing to make military equipment when the government buys from Boeing they intern spend it on making the equipment by hiring others to help…however they save a portion and the spend a portion. If the MPC for Government is higher than there will be a larger the Multiplier effect
    if the MPC is .7 then the MPS is .7 then the 1x10/.1x10=10/.3= 3 x 10 =$30 billion.

  • @Imakilla4567
    @Imakilla4567 8 лет назад +3

    Great explanation! Thank you!
    I just have one question. Since the multiplier is 1/MPS, it would mean that the less money people tend to save would lead to a greater ripple effect. Does this mean that the government would actually encourage people to save less money? For example, if the MPS is 0.2, k would be 5 but if MPS = 0.01, k = 100. So saving 20x less money equals to a 20x increase in the multiplier. What are the economic implications when people do not save money? Or is it just something that happens since people have a fear of recession? And what if consumers (virtually) did not save any money (1/0.000000...1 --> approaches infinity )? So in an ideal word, if C = Yd, would the economy be amazing (In this example let's say U=Un and the unemployed citizens are paid out by the government while also having set future employment)? Of course, this would never happen due to economic uncertainty, since if people did not save any money and suddenly lost a job, they would have nothing.
    So going back to the government discouraging people to save, why would it not be a good idea for the government to say make a law that you can only save 1% of you spendable income while the government then saves a certain amount of their income in case of economic failure to then pay out to citizens in need when the economy goes into a recession. So this would be a sort of autonomous saving method by the government, saving a small percentage of tax income for future recessions.
    It might sound quite communistic or disadvantageous to the economy to suddenly make laws on saving but it's an interesting thought...
    Although, now that I think about it, the multiplier effect only has an effect on the economy when there are available, unused resources, meaning the economy is already in a recession. So would the multiplier even be able to promote economic growth since when the economy is at full employment we assume that there are no unused resources in the market, meaning the multiplier would be cancelled out by inflation?
    Sorry for the long, probably irrelevant comment, but these videos have actually got me thinking about the "what if's" instead of just studying the theory.
    Kind regards
    F

    • @Imakilla4567
      @Imakilla4567 8 лет назад

      Also, I know this isn't a video about law, but would the government be able to create a law that, for example, everyone has to save exactly 10% of your income per year and you are only allowed to use that saved income in a recession?
      Doesn't really make sense since you cannot force people to consume things they have no need for but how about a minimum of 10% of your income?
      Thanks!

    Hi Jacob, this video really helped, thanks for making it! One question, does investment get factored into the MPC or the MPS? It seems to share properties with both groups, considering it comes out of the interest of having money in hand, but also to something other than the spender themselves.

    Hi Jacob Clifford, sorry but crazy idea here, if I can describe with an example:
    There are 30 workers at an insurance company.
    Their salary is doubled (let’s suppose from 5 to 10).
    Now, what could happen if:
    whatever small to medium service or product they pay for, from a doctor’s appointment to grocery products, they pay double or half more of what it’s worth.
    Would this be called a multiplier effect?
    Where would an economy like this lead the next beneficiaries and the next next beneficiaries?
    And let’s suppose a few more to more to a lot of companies or even a predetermined amount of companies apply this, may the result end in a growing economy of the lower or medium classes?

    This is why I think a ubi would be a fanominal idea.
    It could help so many people out of poverity, and with it as a safety net people would be willing to spend more. Thuse this would increase the rate at which people exchange money for goods.
    It would likely cost 3 trillion in the begining but could easly make that up and grow the over gdp in no time.
    Also people would feel more secure and as such willing to spend more making are econamy & workers more productive.

    What about investing? Can't you take the money you use and invest it instead of just saving/spending? Thanks for the videos, by the way, I love them.

    Hey Jacob! Where does the government take the money to spend more from? Suppose it is a sound government with zero deficit nor surplus. How would increase spending? Would it raise taxes? What if the MPS is 0 (like in inflationary countries, where savings lose their value rapidly), does that mean that the government spending is multiplied to the infinity? That doesn't sound realistic. For what I see this only means that money and spending moves more rapidly, but I don't see any wealth creation around this... in fact, looks very risky on an inflation point of view. Money spent from the government in goods and services that were only bought for the sake of increasing spending, are goods and services that will not be available for the private sector, who would have voluntarily buy them for their genuine sake (for consumption or for investment).
