Well-timed economic policies can reduce the magnitudes of economic fluctuations. But if the policies are poorly timed, they might work in the opposite direction of the desired outcome. The poor timing can come from lags in implementation, for instance, delay between the time that the policies are implemented and the time they take effect.
