In

typically
takes

Economists
usually
interpret
Keynes
as
having
recommended
that
governments
not
wait
for
the
economy
to
itself
.
Many
economists
argue
that
the
government
should
use
policy
to
get
the
economy
back
to
potential
output
in
the
aftermath
of
a
shift
of
the
aggregate
demand
curve
.
Stabilization
policy
is
the
use
of
government
policy
to
reduce
the
of
recessions
and
rein
in
strong
expansions
.

A
policy
that
maintains
the
economy
at
its
original
equilibrium
is
desirable
because
the
temporary
fall
in
aggregate
output
is
associated
with
high
.
Price
is
generally
regarded
as
a
desirable
goal
,
so
preventing
deflation
is
a
good
thing
.
Policymakers
should
not
always
act
to
declines
in
aggregate
demand
.
Some
policy
measures
to
increase
aggregate
demand
,
especially
those
that
increase
budget
,
may
have
long
-
term
costs
in
terms
of
lower
long

run
.
In
the
real
world
,
policymakers
aren't
perfectly
,
and
the
effects
of
their
policies
aren't
perfectly
.
Policymakers
also
try
to
offset
shocks
to
aggregate
demand
.
Despite
more
output
and
lower
unemployment
,
the
short

run
gains
from
an
inflationary
gap
must
be
paid
back
.

In
contrast
to
the
case
of
a
demand
shock
,
there
are
no
easy
remedies
for
a
shock
.
There
are
no
government
policies
that
can
easily

changes
in
production
costs
that
shift
the
short

aggregate
supply
curve

If
the
government
acts
to
increase
aggregate
demand
and
limit
the
rise
in
unemployment
,
it
reduces
the
decline
in
output
but
causes
even
more
.
If
the
government
acts
to
reduce
aggregate
demand
,
it
curbs
inflation
but
causes
a
further
rise

Because
the
government
itself
is
one
source
of
spending
in
the
economy
,
and
because
taxes
and
transfers
can
affect
spending
by
consumers
and
firms
,
the
government
can
use
changes
in
taxes
of
government
spending

stable
data
worse
plan
spend
recovered
time
Many
economists
caution
against
an
extremely
active
stabilization
policy
,
arguing
that
a
government
that
tries
too
hard
to
stabilize
the
economy
through
fiscal
policy
can
end
up
making
the
economy
less
.
One
key
reason
for
caution
is
that
there
are
important
lags
in
the
use
of
fiscal
policy
.
It
takes
time
to
collect
and
analyze
economic
.
It
takes
months
to
develop
a
spending
.
It
takes
time
to
money
.
Because
of
time
lags
,
an
attempt
to
increase
spending
to
fight
a
recessionary
gap
may
take
so
long
to
get
going
that
the
economy
has
already
on
its
own
.
If
a
recessionary
gap
turns
into
an
inflationary
gap
by
the
time
a
fiscal
policy
takes
effect
,
the
fiscal
policy
will
make
things
instead
of
better
.
