"Willam H. Branson" of "Macroeconomic Theory and policy" states that the "Fiscalist Model is an improbable, extreme case of the general model and not a stance to be taken seriously". However, the economic scenario during COVID 19 might indicate otherwise. Write an essay in about 500-600 words expressing your thoughts on this matter. Instructions: Please provide relevant statistics/data in order to substantiate your opinions.
List the 3 major economic goals of fiscal policy. Who is responsible for fiscal policy? What issue or problem in the economy would be fixed with expansionary fiscal policy? Contractionary fiscal policy? Using an aggregate supply and demand graph, show what happens when expansionary fiscal policies are enacted such as the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act when the economy is at full employment. Label all of the curves, the vertical and horizontal axis and show the direction and impact on the economy.
