In Chapter-3 and also in the growth model where we studied about the long run, deficit spending (a higher government spending for a given tax rate) appears to have a negative effect on the economy but in the IS-LM model we can see that the opposite is true. A higher G increases the GDP by enhancing demand. Which one do you think is true? Can you reconcile these two ideas? What is your conclusion in terms of practical policy?
