Stimulus Checks: Did They Actually Work?

Guided Notes (Student)

Three stimulus rounds, $600 in 2008, $1,200 in 2020, and $1,400 in 2021, get compared by size and cost before students compute the multiplier, one over one minus MPC, at an MPC of 0.6. A round-by-round chart traces how a $1,000 check ripples through spending at that rate.
