Which kind of lag is important for monetary policy? Which kind of lag is important for fiscal policy?
Both are prone to lags, but the lags are different for the two types of policy. Monetary policy can be enacted quickly, but because it works through changes in interest rates and investment, it may take a long time to have an impact. Fiscal policy works with a long lag due to the political process that must be followed, including congressional committees and the requirement of Presidential approval.
