Macroeconomics Internal Assessment

This article is about China implementing an expansionary fiscal policy, decreasing the tax but mainly increasing government spendings to improve livelihoods and attempt economic growth. Fiscal policy refers to increasing or decreasing tax and government spending according to it being expansionary or contractionary, affecting aggregate demand. In this case it is expansionary, as China is attempting to open up the economy. Unemployment refers to the situation where individuals are actively seeking but unable to find work. Lastly, although there are various aspects in the term, economic growth refers to an increase in real GDP over the previous year.

The multiplier effect refers to the fact that when the government increases its spendings, firms and households receive that spending and re-spend that income (government spending is received as income). This leads to multiple routes of spending, so overall the increase in net aggregate demand is greater than the initial increase in government spending. Therefore, a small increase in government spending can possibly be enough to stimulate the economy, because the net increase in AD will be greater. Secondly, another advantages is effects on the supply-side. In this case, the spending is mainly on improving infrastructure and livelihoods, meaning there are supply-side effects, which increases the short run aggregate supply. (SRAS) This is because it improves the quality or quantity of the factors of production. (Land, Labor, Capital, Entrepreneurship) This will also lead in long term economic growth as LRAS increases. However, the government spending can be also wasteful, depending on what the government spends it …show more content…

In this case when the government borrows, it would lead to a higher demand for loanable funds, meaning it increases the interest rates. When interest rates increase, it lowers consumption and investment. Referring back to the graph, the government borrows money, which shifts DM0 (initial demand for money) to DM1. Simultaneously, the quantity demanded increases from Q0 to Q1 (as the government borrows), creating a temporary shortage of money. By borrowing so much money, the government “crowds out” private individuals and private commercial interests. Now, the way these shortages get rationed, is for the prices to be pushed up, which is represented by a shift from i0 to i1 (also meaning interest rates are pushed up)

Graph 2: The “Crowding Out” Effect Once interest rates are pushed up, it brings unintended and opposite effects on the AD. Consumer spendings will go down, businesses won’t be able to afford money to buy new capitals, leading to decreases in investment spendings and consumer spendings. These are parts of AD, therefore the AD is shifted partway back as shown in graph 3 below. In this case, overall unfortunately, the intended expansionary fiscal policy is diminished.

Graph 3: Expansionary Fiscal Policy diminished by the “Crowding Out Effect”
In conclusion, China’s expansionary fiscal policy will achieve its macroeconomic goals,

2. Describe how expansionary activities conducted by the Federal Reserve impact credit availability, the money supply, interest rates, and security prices. Expansionary activities conducted by the Federal Reserve impact the credit availability because the interest rates are lower, which promotes small business to expand as well as to making it easy for consumers to take on credit loans. The money supply would be incremented by the Federal Reserve while assuming expansionary activities, in order to promote higher consumption in the economy, which is related and will affect the interest rates by lowering them. By incrementing the levels of consumption the security prices will also change, due the higher demand, factor that will ultimately promote and better the

This results in an increase in aggregate demand. The goal of expansionary fiscal policy is to boost the economy.

According to Keynesian theory, the government should intervene to prevent higher unemployment by increasing aggregate demand to counteract the effect of the drought. This can be achieved by increasing the money supply into the economy in order to shift the aggregate demand curve upwards to bring the economy back to its original state before the drought. The state and federal governments can infuse money into the economy by launching drip irrigation and water conservation programs and subsidies to switch to less water consuming crops. If successful, prices will fall and the output will eventually return to the point where it was before the drought period

With the government assistance, unemployment is kept to its lowest possible rate and slowly encourage the consumers to buy goods and services by regulating interest rates.

Classical economics emphasises the fact free markets lead to an efficient outcome and are self-regulating. In macroeconomics, classical economics assumes the long run aggregate supply curve is inelastic; therefore any deviation from full employment will only be temporary. The Classical model stresses the importance of limiting government intervention and striving to keep markets free of potential barriers to their efficient operation. Keynesians argue that the economy can be below full capacity for a considerable time due to imperfect markets. Keynesians place a greater role for expansionary fiscal policy (government intervention) to overcome recession.

INTRODUCTION Economic growth is defined as the increased capacity of an economy to be able to produce goods and services in comparison from one period of time to another. This is figured by the genuine Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and development, and is measured by utilizing genuine terms such as “Balanced Inflation”. These terms help to remove any distorted views on the perceived outcome of inflation on the cost of merchandises produced. Likewise, Economic growth is related to the high expectations in a person’s standard of living. If the standards are high, it wouldn’t be beneficial for the economy as the working class individuals will face a lot of trouble.
