If an economy is in a recession and the government opts for an expansionary fiscal policy to shift the AD curve closer to the potential output, a sound finance economist with a Classical view, who holds the Ricardian equivalence theorem to be practically true, would conclude that the AD curve: Multiple Choice shifts to the right due to higher government spending. shifts to the left due to higher government spending. does not shift since the higher government spending is offset...
