    History: As a country Greece always struggled with its finances. In the 1990s, it consistently ran significant budget deficits while using the Drachma (the former currency of Greece). Because of this, Greece joined the European Union in 2001 which was two years later than other nations. After joining the EU, Greece had a time of prosperity. This did not last too long as a financial crash occurred in 2008. This affected other countries in the EU, but Greece was hit the hardest. In the time before

    Greece has been in the news since for all the wrong reasons and has been at a centre stage of Biggest Financial dramas in recent times. Being on the cusp of Euro exit or “Grexit” what the economists and finance enthusiasts call it, Prime Minister Tsiparas has softened its stance after a rancorous debate and finally accepted the bailout terms of 85 billion Euros for three years.

    make sure everyone is contributing to the system fairly. On the other hand, the public is looking for better jobs, lesser taxes, and more benefits from the government, such as health, retirement, free schools and housings. When are government budgets inflationary? (Again, think in terms of a game.) Most of the government’s spending ends up financed by the taxes, which is not inflationary at all. When government finances its spending through bond sales, either to its citizens or companies, it can create

    Before we talk about ways to assess fiscal policy of an economy, I would like to describe what we mean by fiscal policies and why it is important for an economy. Fiscal policy is the use of government revenues and expenditure to influence growth of an economy. Fiscal policies that increase demand in an economy are called as expansionary policy whereas those which reduce demand are called as contractionary fiscal policies. These policies are most effective in a fixed exchange rate regime with perfect

When the government’s allocation of money exceeds its total revenue, a budget deficit occurs. The political attractiveness of spending finances by borrowing rather than taxation is not astonishing. Legislators tend to focus on the short term effect rather than the long term results. The attractiveness reflects what economists view as the “shortsightedness effect.” The shortsightedness effect

    The United States debt and defecit is a major problem in our society. One thing I would propose to the President would be to tax the rich. Time. It's useful to keep in mind how the rich are different. When you are poor, you are willing to trade your time to earn money. When you are rich, you trade your money to get more time. For example, the rich hire people to clean their homes, and they don't waste time shopping for bargains. In business school I learned that when people have different preferences

    Today, 15.44 cents of every 18.4 cents is allocated to the Highway Transit Fund (Buechner, 2007). Controversy over the federal gasoline tax has always been present, with opposition from the public to every proposed increase. Recently, when discussions arose to use the tax to generate revenue, many public officials recommended suspending recent increases and some argued to suspend the tax in its entirety citing its drain on the economy. These suggestions were not, however, implemented. State
