ACCELERATOR: The ratio between investment expenditures and the change in gross domestic product. This is based on the notion that business investment depends on the rate of growth of aggregate output.

This accelerator effect modifies and magnifies the simply multiplier effect based on the induced consumption and the marginal propensity to consume.
