If Congress and the president pursue an expansionary fiscal policy at the same time as the Federal Reserve pursues an expansionary monetary policy, how might the expansionary monetary policy affect the extent of crowding out in the short run?
What will be an ideal response?
An expansionary fiscal policy will cause the equilibrium rate of interest to increase. An expansionary monetary policy will cause the equilibrium rate of interest to decrease. An expansionary monetary policy will therefore lessen the effect of crowding out in the short run.
