Supply side economics/Reaganomics

4-19-17

  • Manipulate aggregate supply by enacting policies designed to stimulate incentives to work, save, and invest 
    • ex: tax cuts= increase disposable income
Laffer Curve
  • Theoretical relation between tax rate and govt revenue
Criticism of laffer curve
  • 1- imperial evidence suggest that the impact of tax rates on incentives to work save and invest are small
  • 2- tax cuts also increase demand which can fuel inflation
  • 3- where the economy is actually located on the curve is difficult to determine
