Using the II-XX framework, show using a figure that fiscal policies by themselves cannot bring the economy to both internal and external balances
What will be an ideal response?
Starting at point 2, fiscal policy is shown as only horizontal movements. This means that the economy can reach either point 3 (internal balance) or point 4 (external balance) in the figure, but not both internal and external balances. Only a devaluation of the currency accompanied with an increase in fiscal ease, namely increasing government expenditures or decreasing taxes, will move the economy to both internal and external balances at point 1 in the figure.
