Algebraic calculation of the fiscal multiplier ignores the concept of velocity of money. Here, we incorporate the concept of velocity of money in the algebraic derivation of the fiscal multiplier which results into a slightly different representation. Then, we empirically calculate the values of...

Conventional algebraic estimate of the fiscal multipliers ignores the concept of velocity of money and mistakenly assumes that money changes hands an infinite number of times during a given year while we know money only has a finite velocity. Apart from the velocity of money, fiscal multipliers...

Although government transfer is a well-known fiscal variable, it can significantly influence the overall supply of money in the economy. Beneficiaries of government transfer program will consume a portion of it while the rest is saved and these initial savings will then be amplified inside the...
