Explain the four measures, which can be adopted by government to check. |
|
Answer» At the time of inflation, contractionary fiscal and monetary policy must be adopted by the government. Through fiscal policy, government should increase taxation, remove unnecessary expenditure to reduce the Aggregate Demand. But such increase in taxation should not be abnormal, otherwise there will be an adverse effect on Investment and Production. Government may promote compulsory savings scheme. Government should frame the surplus budget and repayment of public debt should stopped. In this way, rigid monetary policy may be adopted. To check rising prices due to the excess demand, central bank may resort to increase in the bank rate, sale of securities in open market and increase in Reserve Ratio. Along with it, Selective Credit Control measures like increase in the margin of credit may also be adopted. It also tries to control consumers’ credit. Along with all these methods, demonetisation may also be adopted. In this way, at the time of deficient and excess demand, through appropriate measures of monetary and fiscal policy, this problem can be solved. |
|

How can fiscal policy be effectively used at the time of depression ? |
|
Answer» When deficient demand appears during depression, i.e. Aggregate Demand is less than the Aggregate Supply. In this situation, government adopts a suitable fiscal policy. Government increases public expenditure like-road building, dam construction, building of schools and hospitals to raise the income as well as demand. Similarly, taxes are reduced to increase the consumable income of the consumer. These efforts remain fruitful when government does not increase the taxes. During depression, fiscal policy proves more successful than monetary policy. During depression, producers already have a large stock of unsold goods, so, even at a reduced rate of interest, they are not motivated to invest more. Therefore, through this policy, government tries to bring Full Employment and price stability through changes in taxation and government expenditure. |
