The Multiplier with imports We assume that countries are spending fixed % of their GDP on buying goods in other countries, e.g. on imports. Example. Suppose C = 200 + 0.5DI T = 100 Tr = 0 G = 100 I = 200 IM = 0.2Y X =300 Here IM = 0.2Y, which implies that 20% of GDP are spent on imports. Remember that DI = Y – T + Tr = Y – 100. Equilibrium on the demand side Y* solves the following equation Y = C + I + G + X – IM = 200 + 0.5(Y - 100) + 200 + 100 + 300 – 0.2Y Rearranging, we find Y* = (200 – 50 +
