 | | Fiscal Policy is the economic term which describes the behaviour of governments in raising money to fund current spending and investment for collective social purposes and for transfer payments to citizens and residents of the territory for which the government is responsible. |  | | Also, fiscal policy (whether expansionary or contractionary) assumes things that are not necessarily true in real life: like that the government can change taxes almost instantaneously or that the government knows the exact extent of (in the case of contractionary fiscal policy) inflation. |  | | Contractionary fiscal policy is a deliberate change in government spending or taxes in order to slow the economy (to prevent inflation). |

| | The Role of Fiscal Policy - FRBSF Economic Letter (09/06/2002) |
 | | When expectations of future fiscal policy are important, "expansionary" fiscal policy-an increase in government spending, for example-may actually be contractionary. |  | | Both current and future fiscal actions must be considered in assessing the impact of fiscal policy on the economy. |  | | Expansionary fiscal policy aims to boost demand and output in the economy either directly, through greater government expenditures, or indirectly, through tax reductions that stimulate private consumption and investment spending. |

| | Challenge: Reviving Fiscal Policy - John Maynard Keynes |
 | | The majority of economists have concluded that monetary policy alone should be used to stabilize the economy, and a minority have argued that the government should not use either monetary or fiscal policy for that purpose. |  | | This policy means either a cut in taxes, an increase in government cash transfer payments, or an increase in government purchases of goods and services. |  | | With such a combined policy there is no need for a further increase in the national debt held by the public, since to achieve its monetary expansion, the central bank can buy the government bonds issued as a result of the increased fiscal deficit. |

| | The budget arithmetic test: Repairing federal fiscal policy |
 | | Policies that cannot succeed at putting the U.S. budget in orderfor example, reductions in domestic discretionary spending will be rendered increasingly irrelevant by the inexorable and unsustainable growth in health care entitlement costs, an issue that will come to the forefront of the budget debate with the retirement of the baby boom generation. |  | | For policy purposes, however, all the interesting aspects of mandatory spending are entitlements. |  | | Thus, policy changes in the past three-and-a-half years have caused the 10-year budget balance to decline by $7 trillion, an average of $670 billion a year. |

| | What Is Fiscal Policy? |
 | | Fiscal policy is the means by which a government adjusts its levels of spending in order to monitor and influence a nation's economy. |  | | Fiscal policy could also dictate a decrease in government spending and thereby decrease the money in circulation. |  | | By using a mixture of both monetary and fiscal policies (depending on the political orientations and the philosophies of those in power at a particular time, one policy may dominate over another), governments are able to control economic phenomena. |

| | Fiscal Policy |
 | | The term fiscal policy refers to the expenditure a government undertakes to provide goods and services and to the way in which the government finances these expenditures. |  | | The second tool available to government (and one that is used by all levels of government) is fiscal policy. |  | | The conduct of fiscal policy is very complicated in its effects on the economy, its reliance on external factors and the value-driven objectives that characterize much of the redistribution of resources and other fiscal policy choices. |

| | Macroeconomic Policy |
 | | In essence fiscal policy is a juggling act: By adjusting spending and taxation, the government can in principle maintain high levels of employment and stable prices. |  | | Fiscal policy thus strives to smooth out the business cycle by manipulating the federal budget to maintain just enough demand to keep people working but not so much as to fuel inflation. |  | | Fiscal policy, on the other hand, appeals to politicians who want to keep the economy vigorous and growing even at the cost of moderately higher prices. |

 | | But anti-inflation fiscal policies are difficult to sell politically, and the government resisted shifting to them. |  | | While the budget remained enormously important, the job of managing the overall economy shifted substantially from fiscal policy to monetary policy during the later years of the 20th century. |  | | Fighting inflation requires government to take unpopular actions like reducing spending or raising taxes, while traditional fiscal policy solutions to fighting unemployment tend to be more popular since they require increasing spending or cutting taxes. |

 | | The findings are used to provide a more accurate depiction of government policies and their effects on families and individuals, and to allow for a more thorough analysis of a number of cross-cutting issues including: tax burdens; spending by budget area; spending on consumption versus investment; and spending on transfers versus public goods. |  | | Too often, for instance, tax policy debates focus on the federal income tax in isolation, even though this ignores the many other forms of taxation American families are subject to – from payroll taxes, to corporate income taxes, which are passed on to workers and consumers, to a wide array of state and local taxes. |  | | Recognizing that aggregate numbers are necessary to make the burdens and benefits of our policy choices more transparent, another part of the research agenda is to compile detailed data on both the revenue and expenditure sides of the budget by combining all local, state, and federal expenditures into a unified picture. |

 | | In short, the case for fiscal policy as a way to create jobs is pretty much restricted to situations in which the economy is depressed and is close to a liquidity trap, with real doubts about whether monetary policy by itself can restore full employment. |  | | And the obvious policy implication is that fiscal expansion should be temporary, not permanent. |  | | If that assumption is right, the job creating effects of any fiscal expansion will be of short duration, a year or two; it's just silly to imagine that the Bush plan, or any plan, will raise employment for 10 years, let alone raise employment by a growing amount over a decade. |
