Macroeconomic
analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the
operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it
is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the
economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies)
are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle
fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation.
Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand
(AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government
spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD
to the right, the government has to increase the government spending
(the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component
of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest
rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer
spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an
increase in AD.
