Comparing Fiscal Policy Effectiveness
An economy faces a recessionary gap caused by a significant drop in household consumption. To stimulate the economy, policymakers are considering two options of equal dollar value: a direct increase in government spending on infrastructure or a decrease in personal income taxes.
