German term or phrase: Sickerverluste von Runde zu Runde
Einkommens-/Konsumkreislauf:

Das oben ermittelte zusätzliche Einkommen in der Region (1. Stufe) durch XX wird zum Teil für Konsumausgaben verwendet. Diese zusätzliche Nachfrage nach Konsumgütern und Dienstleistungen führt zu einer weiteren Erhöhung der Produktion und damit der Wertschöpfung und damit des Einkommens und der Beschäftigung. Auch hier sind Sikkerverluste in Abzug zu bringen, die durch:
a) Ausgaben außerhalb der Region,
b) Sparanteil der Einkommen und
c) durch Steuer- und Sozialabgaben entstehen.
Die so in der zweiten Stufe entstandenen Einkommen in der Region lösen wiederum zusätzliche Umsatz-, Wertschöpfungs- und Arbeitsplatzeffekte aus. Die im Rahmen dieser Multiplikatorprozesse entstehenden Einkommenseffekte werden aufgrund der Sickerverluste von Runde zu Runde geringer.

trickling away, s.u.


Explanation:
Auch hier sind Sickerverluste in Abzug zu nehmen, die durch ... entstehen:
(I think the 'in Abzug nehmen' can just be left out, it's kind of implicit.)

'Here, too, some income trickles away due to...'

Die Einkommenseffekte werden aufgrund der Sickerverluste von Runde zu Runde geringer:

Due to this trickling-away, (werden die Einkommenseffekte geringer) from stage to stage.

[or: Due to this trickling-away effect]

(IMO von Runde zu Runde here refers to the Stufen (1. Stufe, 2.Stufe).

creeping losses [to the regional economy] ... progressively


Explanation:
Some modest assistance...

First term is taken from physical contexts where it refers to actual seepage of liquid out of something, usually by capillary action. It may not be most advantageous (read: possible) to come up with a tight term in translation, but here's my attempt. It seems important to note that the 'losses' are to the regional economy, however it seems like a rather inexact use of 'Verlust,' since savings and social services clearly contribute to the regional economy in different ways.

Perhaps 'creeping losses to the regional economic circulation'.

I would just use 'progressively' for the second phrase

The web reference does not really correspond to the usage I am tentatively suggesting here, but has to do with 'economic power'

agree  Peter Manda (X): >shrugging shoulders< I liked your rendition more; I haven't really seen much about regional leakage in economic texts, though there are references that I can recall on "seepage", but I think you really hit it on the nail with "creeping losses" becau

leakage (withdrawals i.e in multiplier analysis) in every new round


Explanation:
Sickerverluste = Sickerquote lt. W. Schaefer

cyclical fiscal policy, i.e. the multipliers are larger than they would be if fiscal .... does not constitute a leakage, so long as over the prevailing time horizon, the economy ... (generating, as we have noted multipliers around 1.5) is warranted. ..... The multiplier analysis focuses on demand side effects; ...

contingent losses


Explanation:
....will diminish (shrink) with each cycle

I don't think leakage, trickle, creeping and similar 'slow bleeding' euphemisms are best in this case when we have the to-the-point 'contingent' (in the sense of 'incidental') at our disposal
