Fiscal policy is a mechanism the government employs to influence the economy. Fiscal policy is based onMultiple Choicethe government's taxing and spending decisions.the money supply.the importance of maintaining a 12-month (fiscal year) economic cycle.the projections of the Federal Reserve Board.the idea that a balanced budget is the key to a healthy economy.

Suppose that the federal budget is balanced when GDP is at potential GDP. If equilibrium GDP falls below potential, please explain how and why government transfer payments would change; how and why tax receipts would change; how and why the budget would change.

The government is running a balanced budget while GDP is at its potential. However, there is now an economic recession and the government makes no policy adjustments. What is the impact on the budget balance? The budget balance would decrease, moving into a surplus. The budget balance would increase, moving into a surplus. The budget balance would remain balanced because of the automatic stabiliser. The budget balance would remain balanced because the government does not change any policies. The budget balance would decrease, moving into a deficit.
