Fiscal policy uses government spending and taxation to influence the economy. There are three stances of fiscal policy: expansionary, contractionary, and neutral. Expansionary policy involves government spending exceeding tax revenue to stimulate the economy, while contractionary policy involves spending less than taxes to slow the economy. Fiscal policy tools include adjusting expenditure budgets and revenue collection through taxes.
2. Fiscal policy refers to the overall effect of the
budget outcome on economic activity.
The idea of using fiscal policy to combat recessions
was introduced by John Maynard Keynes in the
1930s
Two main instruments of fiscal policy
• Revenue Budget
• Expenditure Budget
3. Three possible stances of fiscal policy are:
A neutral stance of fiscal policy implies a balanced
budget where G = T (Government spending = Tax
revenue).
An expansionary stance of fiscal policy involves a
net increase in government spending (G > T).
A contractionary stance of fiscal policy (G < T)
