71
Q

How Discretionary Fiscal Policy Works?

A

The fiscal authorities (DOF) can employ a number of taxation measures to control aggregate demand or public spending.

Direct taxes on individuals (personal income tax) and companies (corporate income tax) can be increased (decreased) if household spending needs to be reduced (increased) so as to reduce inflation (or increase aggregate demand to reduce unemployment).

This is because an increase (decrease) in income tax reduces (increases) Households disposable income, and similarly an increase (decrease in corporate income tax leaves companies with less (more) profit available to pay dividends and reinvestment.

Alternatively, household spending can be reduced (increased) by increasing (decreasing) indirect taxes, for instance, an increase (decrease) in the Value Added Tax (VAT) on products in general, or an increase (decrease) in excise duties on particular products such as oil, distilled products and wines, and cigarettes will, by increasing (decreasing) their price leads to a reduction (increase) in purchasing power.

Lower (higher) disposable income due to high (low) tax rates lowers (increases) the capacity of households to spend thus limiting the inflationary pressure (expanding aggregate demand so as to counteract unemployment).

Similarly, the government can use changes in its own expenditure to affect spending levels, for example, a cut (raise) in current purchases of products or capital investments by the government again serves to reduce (increase) total spending in the economy
Taxation and government spending are linked together in terms of the government’s overall fiscal or budget position.

Total spending in the economy is reduced by the twin effects of increased taxation and expenditure cuts with the government running a budget surplus. If the objective is to increase spending during recession, then the government operates a budget deficit by reducing taxation and increasing its expenditure.

On the other hand, a decrease in government spending and an increase in taxes reduce aggregate demand and through the multiplier process serves to reduce inflationary pressures when the economy is ‘overheating”.

The use of budget deficit was first advocated by John Maynard Keynes as a means of counteracting the mass unemployment of the 1920’s and 1930’s brought by the Great Depression in the United States.

With the wide spread acceptance of Keynesian ideas by Western governments in the period since 1945, fiscal policy was used as the main means of fine-tuning’ the economy to achieve full employment.
