Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The decision to allow states to pay more in unemployment compensation was a discretionary fiscal policy action taken by the government to stimulate the economy during the recession. The government had the discretion to implement this policy, unlike non-discretionary fiscal policies like automatic stabilizers, which are built into the system and automatically adjust with economic conditions. The policy also falls under fiscal rather than monetary policy because it involved changes in government spending and revenue, rather than changes in interest rates and money supply, which are tools of monetary policy.
