What would not increase GPD?

An increase in government spending on welfare programs would likely not increase GDP if the spending is not effectively stimulating economic activity and productivity. If the spending does not lead to increased consumption, investment, or exports, it may not have a significant impact on GDP growth.


If government spending increases 5B and your MPC is a 90 how much does GDP increase?

From such an action (increase in government spending by 5 billion and a Marginal Propensity to Consume of 90%), the GDP would increase (in the scope of simplicity) by 4.5 billion. This is because government expenditures is counted in GDP, and in this case 90% of it is consumed by the populace, so 5B * .9 = 45B. But, being that the GDP is Consumption + Gross Investment + Govt. Spending +(-) Imports/exports, one could suggest that the GDP would increase by just 5B because that which is not consumed is saved (and thus invested).
