Ignoring any supply−side effects, suppose the government is considering cutting taxes by $100 billion or increasing government expenditures on goods and services by $100 billion. Then
A.
the tax cut would increase aggregate demand and the increase in government expenditure would decrease aggregate demand.
B.
both policies would increase aggregate demand but the increase in government expenditure has a smaller effect.
C.
both policies would increase aggregate demand by the same amount.
D.
both policies would increase aggregate demand but the tax cut has a smaller effect.
E.
the tax cut would decrease aggregate demand and the increase in government expenditure would increase aggregate demand
option D is correct
both policies would increase aggregate demand but the tax cut has a smaller effect. (tax multiplier < expenditure multiplier)

1. When countries have severe debt problems: fiscal policy is an especially good idea. expansionary fiscal policy can reduce real growth. it makes no difference for fiscal policy. they can continue to borrow forever without any adverse consequences. 2. Increases in government spending financed through additional borrowing will typically: lead to higher taxes. lead to higher interest rates. stimulate both consumption and investment. provide more stimulus than when government spending is financed through higher taxes. 3. In a recession, automatic...
