Multiplier (economics)

In macroeconomics, a multiplier is a factor of proportionality that measures how much an endogenous variable changes in response to a change in some exogenous variable. For example, suppose variable x changes by k units, which causes another variable y to change by M × k units. Then the multiplier is M. Two multipliers are commonly discussed in introductory macroeconomics. Commercial banks create money, especially under the fractional-reserve banking system used throughout the world. In this system, money is created whenever a bank gives out a new loan. This is because the loan, when drawn on and spent, mostly finishes up as a deposit back in the banking system and is counted as part of money supply. After putting aside a part of these deposits as mandated bank reserves, the balance is available for the making of further loans by the bank. This process continues multiple times, and is called the multiplier effect. The multiplier may vary across countries, and will also vary depending on what measures of money are being considered. For example, consider M2 as a measure of the U.S. money supply, and M0 as a measure of the U.S. monetary base. If a $1 increase in M0 by the Federal Reserve causes M2 to increase by$ 10, then the money multiplier is 10. Fiscal multiplier Transfer payments multiplier Multipliers can be calculated to analyze the effects of fiscal policy, or other exogenous changes in spending, on aggregate output. For example, if an increase in German government spending by €100, with no change in tax rates, causes German GDP to increase by €150, then the spending multiplier is 1.5. Other types of fiscal multipliers can also be calculated, like multipliers that describe the effects of changing taxes (such as lump-sum taxes or proportional taxes). Multiplier-accelerator model Keynesian economists often calculate multipliers that measure the effect on aggregate demand only. (To be precise, the usual Keynesian multiplier formulas measure how much the IS curve shifts left or right in response to an exogenous change in spending.

Travel discomfort-time tradeoffs in Paris subway: an empirical analysis using interval regression models

We analyze individual travel discomfort-time tradeoffs in Paris subway using stated choice experiments. The survey design allows to set up in a willingness-to-pay space to estimate the distributions of elasticities of values of travel time savings to crowd density and time multipliers. Several formulations of a generalized travel cost function are tested. Accounting for heterogeneity in preferences, the econometric models all take the form of an ordered Probit with known bounds. We derive several estimates

Implementing super-efficient FFTs in Altera FPGAs

In this article, an alternative method is proposed to compute a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on Altera FPGAs. This method is using the Altera FFT intellectual property (IP) core, but it is more efficient than the direct use of the Altera FFT IP core, in the sense that the processing time or the resources can be reduced. For the FPGA user, the implementation of the proposed method is more complex than using directly the Altera FFT IP core because additional elements are required, such as a numerically contro

Fiscal multiplier

In economics, the fiscal multiplier (not to be confused with the money multiplier) is the ratio of change in national income arising from a change in government spending. More generally, the exogenous spending multiplier is the ratio of change in national income arising from any autonomous change in spending (including private investment spending, consumer spending, government spending, or spending by foreigners on the country's exports). When this multiplier exceeds one, the enhanced effect on national income may be called the multiplier effect.

Deficit spending

Within the budgetary process, deficit spending is the amount by which spending exceeds revenue over a particular period of time, also called simply deficit, or budget deficit; the opposite of budget surplus. The term may be applied to the budget of a government, private company, or individual. Government deficit spending was first identified as a necessary economic tool by John Maynard Keynes in the wake of the Great Depression. It is a central point of controversy in economics, as discussed below.

Units and dimensional analysis

Dimensional analysis is a physical concept that helps understanding physical situations in which various physical quantities are used. It is also used to hypothetically link different physical quantities that can then be verified experimentally. For every physical quantity, there is a corresponding dimension, associated in mechanics to length (L), mass (M), time (T) and their combinations. For instance, the physical dimension of “velocity” v is length/time (L/T). The unit and dimension of a physical quant
