ECON312 Principles of Economics
Week 6 Discussion
MONETARY POLICY AND FISCAL POLICY
A healthy economy typically has low rates of unemployment and steady prices. Low rates of unemployment means that the economy is operating at its full potential. To ensure the economy continues to operate at potential GDP (full capacity where all savings are invested in production functions, and where all those who wish to work can find a job, and all other factors of production are fully utilized in the production function), governments use fiscal and monetary policies to lower unemployment rates and to control prices (inflation).
For your initial post, answer one of the following questions.
Discuss the primary goals of expansionary and contractionary fiscal policies and their effects on unemployment rates, inflation rates, interest rates, private investment, and GDP.
Discuss the goals of expansionary and contractionary monetary policies used by the Federal Reserve Bank and the approaches (called monetary policy tools) used to achieve each policy. Also, discuss the effect of each policy on GDP, price level, private investment (investment in capital acquisition by firms and housing by households), and net trade.
In your opinion, which policy is more effective—monetary policy or fiscal policy? Why?
