Assertion (A): When investment is induced (a function of income), the multiplier effect on income is larger than when investment is autonomous — this is called the Super Multiplier. Reason (R): With induced investment I = Ī + αY, the equilibrium income condition Y = C + I becomes Y = C̄ + cY + Ī + αY, so the super multiplier = 1 / (1 − c − α), which is larger than the simple multiplier 1 / (1 − c) since α > 0.
