Definition

An Output-to-Output Multiplier indicates how total production will change as Final Demand is changed in any one sector of the economy.

The output multiplier for sector j is the sum of column j of the Leontief Inverse Matrix. This output multiplier measures the amount of output generated by a $1 change in final demand for the output of the jth sector.[1]


Formula

If we represent the elements of the Leontief Inverse Matrix L=(I-A)^{-1} as l_{ij}, then the output multiplier is defined as the column sum:


O_{j} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} l_{ij}
