comprises any means by which public agents affect the economy directly (e.g., by government spending) or indirectly, through incentives affecting private agents’ behavior (e.g., interest rates, taxes, if public agents like government get involved in the economy, they perform economic policy

|
includes changes in government spending, taxes and transfers

|
|
includes changes in money supply which affect the market interest rate

Depending on its goal economic policy can be expansionary or restricitve inizia ad imparare
|
|
when its aimed at raising ou t put and income

|
|
restrictive (contractionary) Depending on its goal economic policy can be expansionary or restricitve inizia ad imparare
|
|
when the aim is reducing output and income
|
|
|
Fiscal expansion includes Fiscal expansionary policy inizia ad imparare
|
|
- higher transfers and/or government expenditure -lower taxes
|
|
|
fiscal expansionary policy in other words inizia ad imparare
|
|
|
|
|
Monetary expansion (easing) inizia ad imparare
|
|
means increasing the money supply by the central bank through 1. buying financial assets in the open market 2. lowering the discount rate (the policy rate, 3. lowering the reserve rate and thus lowering the market interest rate and increasing autonomous expenditure
|

|
the transmission mechanism of monetary policy money supply is the main tool of monetary policy inizia ad imparare

describes the extent to which the goal is realized The goal of fiscal expansion is to increase output and the effectiveness will measure this goal

|
|
is an economic theory arguing that rising public sector spending drives down or even eliminates private sector spending. G up -> Z up -> Y up -> Md up -> i up -> C, I, NX down increasy in money demand caused by bigger government spending leads to an increase in interest rates which is followed by the decrease in consumption, investment and net exports
|
|
|
the stronger the crowding out effect... how it affects the fiscal expansion inizia ad imparare
|
|
the lower the efficiency of fiscal expansion
|
|
|
Income elasticity of money demand inizia ad imparare
|
|
is an economic measure of how responsive the quantity demand for a good or service is to a change in income.
|
|
|
the effectiveness of fiscal policy depends on which slope inizia ad imparare
|
|
|
|
|
Fiscal policy is more effective when LM is inizia ad imparare
|
|
flat - income elasticity of money demand (k) is small or interest rate elasticity of money demand (h) is high
|
|
|
Fiscal policy is relatively effective when inizia ad imparare
|
|
• the interest rate does not rise much and/or • its rise does not have strong impact on autonomous spending
|
|
|
Fiscal expansion is relatively ineffective when inizia ad imparare
|
|
1. interest rate elasticity of investment (d2) or of net exports (n) is high. 2. i ncome elasticity of money demand (k) is high, 3. interest rate elasticity of money demand (h) is small

Monetary policy is more effective when inizia ad imparare
|
|
•𝑡𝑛 is small or •d2, n and/or 𝑐1 is high
|
|
|
Monetary policy is re la tively ineffective when: inizia ad imparare
|
|
1. interest rate elasticity of autonomous expenditure is low, 2. interest rate elasticity of money demand is high 1. (lowering the interest rate by the central bank does not boost autonomous spending) 2. (even a slight decrease in the interest rates restores equilibrium in the money market)
|

|
inizia ad imparare
|
|
at very low interest rates further increases in money supply by the central bank do not encourage more economic activity •the only variable that rises is the money demand •the central bank essentially loses its control over the real economy any amount of money issued by the central bank is being held by the public in liquid form instead of financial or physical assets
