The relation of Mr. Meade's relation to Kahn's multiplier
Article Abstract:
Meade's Relation is derived from Kahn's multiplier theory of supply and demand. Meade's theory of savings replaces Kahn's propensity to consume factor with a factor describing the propensity to save. Meade's Relation concludes that increases in income would result in a planned supply of savings that would match the initial demand for savings required to finance increased investments.
