Comparison of Fiscal Instrument Effects on the Aggregate Demand Curve
Different fiscal policy instruments affect the aggregate demand (AD) curve in distinct ways. A change in government spending (G) directly impacts autonomous demand, causing a parallel shift of the AD curve by changing its intercept. In contrast, a change in the tax rate alters the proportion of income that is spent, which changes the slope of the AD curve and modifies the size of the multiplier.

An economy's aggregate demand (AD) curve is initially at position AD1. A government implements one of two potential policies to stimulate the economy. Policy X results in a parallel upward shift of the AD curve to AD2. Policy Y results in the AD curve rotating upwards and becoming steeper, also moving to a new position. Which of the following correctly identifies the most likely fiscal policies?
