We will discuss about the FISCAL POLICY. Fiscal Policy is implemented by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and FINANCE MINISTRY to tackle the problems of INFLATIONARY GAP and DEFLATIONARY GAP i.e., INFLATION and DEFLATION in the economy.

This policy used 2 main tools namely:-

TAXES
GOVERNMENT SPENDING

During inflation, government increases taxes which reduces the disposable income with the people which reduces their consumption and reduces AGGREGATE DEMAND by the amount of reduction of consumption & decreases government spending which reduces AGGREGATE DEMAND as it is also a component of the AD. The buyers will be the most affected as their income decreases by increase in taxes and reduction in government expenditure may also mean loss of jobs of people who may work in infrastructure development and other related areas.

During deflation, government decreases taxes which increases the disposable income of people which increaes their consumption and increases AGGREGATE DEMAND by the amount of rise in comsumption & increases government spending which increases AGGREGATE DEMAND as it is also a component of AD. The suppliers and investors are affected the most as the money has less value as compared to before as value of investments fall and goods become cheaper making it unattractive and less profitable for sellers to produce and sell goods.

We learned that there are various types of bonds in the market, and the government or corporates use them to finance their budget, spread out the risk, or just establish safe cash streams. However, instead of just using one simple bond for their purposes, why starkly different bonds types exist in the market? Why do we need these heterogeneous bonds in the real world? Please explain your argument with specific examples, factors, or numerical illustrations as we usually did.
