In 2019, the Federal Government of the United States had an accumulated debt/GDP higher than
100%, meaning that the amount of debt accumulated over time is higher than the value of all goods
and services produced in that year.
The debt/GDP is always positive during this period, so the Federal Government of the United States
incurred in budget deficits every year since 1939.
From the mid-40s until the mid-70s, the debt/DGP was decreasing, meaning that the Federal
Government of the United States was running a budget surplus every year during those three decades.
During the second half of the 1970s, the Federal Government…
An imaginary country estimates that their economy can be approximated by the AD/AS model

AD
The AD/AS model shows that a contractionary fiscal policy is suitable, but the choice of increasing
taxes, decreasing government expenditure or doing both simultaneously is mostly political
The AD/AS model shows that increasing taxes is the best fiscal policy available.
The AD/AS model shows that decreasing government expenditure is the best fiscal policy available.
The AD/AS model shows that an expansionary fiscal policy capable of shifting the AD curve to the
potential GDP level would decrease Real GDP but increase inflationary pressures
