(Online Course) Pub Ad for IAS Mains: Chapter: 12 (Financial Administration) - Fiscal Policy (Paper -1) Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:44 AM PDT Paper - 1 Chapter: 12 (Financial Administration) Fiscal Policy In economics, fiscal policy is the use of government spending and revenue collection to influence the economy. Fiscal policy can be contrasted with the other main types of economic policy, monetary policy, which attempts to stabilize the economy by controlling interest rates and the supply of money. The two main instruments of fiscal policy are government spending and taxation. Change, in the level and composition of taxation and government spending, can impact on the following variables in the economy, Aggregate demand and the level of economic activity; The pattern of resource allocation; The distribution of income. Fiscal policy refers to the overall effect of the budget outcome on economic activity. 'I'll,: three possible stances of fiscal policy are neutral, expansionary and contractionary: A neutral stance of fiscal policy implies a balanced budget where G = T (Government spending — Tax revenue). Government spending is fully, funded by tax revenue and overall the budget outcome has a neutral effect on the level of economic activity. An expansionary stance of fiscal policy, involves a net increase in government spending (G > T) through rises in government spending or a fall in taxation revenue or a combination of the two. This will lead to a larger budget deficit or a smaller budget surplus than the government previously had, or a deficit if the government previously laid a balanced budget Expansionary fiscal policy is usually associated with to budget deficit. A contractionary fiscal policy (G < T) occurs when net government spending is reduced either through higher taxation revenue or reduced government spending or a combination of the two. This would lead to a lowere budget deficit or a larger surplus than the government previously had, or a surplus if the government previously had a balanced budget. Contractionary c fiscal policy is usually associated with a surplus. Fiscal policy was invented by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s.
