What are the components of fiscal policy? Explain how fiscal policy affects aggregate demand
What will be an ideal response?
Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government expenditure, transfer payments and taxes. Because government purchases are a component of total spending, a change in government expenditure directly changes aggregate demand. A change in transfer payments changes disposable income which, in turn, changes consumption expenditure and aggregate demand. Finally, taxes alter disposable income and thus impact consumption expenditure and aggregate demand.
