The purpose of this study is to derive new macroeconomic expression based on Keynesian basis with SAM multiplier through mathematical approach.

Detailed explanation-2: -While the money supply and the budget deficit are modeled as endogenous, government expenditure is assumed to be exogenously determined by the policymaker.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exogenous variable example External factors like crop-eating pests and the weather would be exogenous variables.
