In the Keynesian model, the autonomous tax multiplier measures the effect of changes in taxes on equilibrium output when aggregate expenditure is held constant. This multiplier is larger (in absolute value) than the tax multiplier, which measures the effect of changes in taxes on equilibrium output when aggregate expenditure is allowed to adjust. The autonomous expenditure multiplier is greater than 1, indicating that a change in autonomous expenditure will have a larger effect on equilibrium output. The tax multiplier is negative because an increase in taxes reduces disposable income and, therefore, consumption spending. It is not equal to 1.
