Application of Fiscal Stimulus during the 2008 Financial Crisis
In response to the 2007-2009 financial crisis, which triggered the most severe economic contraction since the Great Depression, global policymakers sought guidance on whether fiscal policy could be an effective stabilization tool. Drawing on the Keynesian multiplier model, many governments implemented fiscal stimulus packages between 2008 and 2009. These interventions are widely considered to have been crucial in preventing a repeat of the prolonged high unemployment that followed the Great Depression.
