MARGINAL PROPENSITY TO INVEST The change in business investment expenditures induced by a change in income or production (national income or gross domestic product). The marginal propensity to invest (abbreviated MPI) is another term for the slope of the investment line and is calculated as the change in investment divided by the change in income or production.

A related marginal measure is the marginal propensity to consume.
