Discrepancies in Multiplier Estimates

Economists conducting empirical studies often find that the size of the government spending multiplier varies significantly depending on the economic conditions under which it is measured. Imagine two studies: Study A measures the multiplier during a deep recession with high unemployment, while Study B measures it when the economy is operating at or near full capacity. Analyze why Study A would likely report a larger multiplier than Study B. Discuss at least two economic factors that contribute to this difference.
