Abstract
The paper provides a summary of a simulation for using fiscal policy tools to manage a fictitious country called Erehwon. The paper relates that government spending and taxation are fiscal policy tools that affect the real GDP and aggregate income of the economy. The paper shows how increases and decreases in government spending and taxes aid in managing recession and inflation. The paper concludes that there are no actions to guarantee optimum results, so policy makers must be flexible and evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy changes. The paper also applies these principles to the workplace.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Fiscal policy is a tool used by federal governments to regulate the economy. This paper provides a summary of a simulation for using fiscal policy tools to manage a fictitious country called Erehwon. Erehwon is a small country with a population of 30 million with an average income of $1,300. The literacy rate is 56% for males and 35% for females. Only11 million individuals are in the labor force and 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. The country suffers from an inadequate infrastructure for transportation, communication and banking services. The government must manage the fiscal tools of government spending and taxation to improve the health of the economy and strengthen the country's infrastructure."

Abstract
This paper presents an ideal fiscal policy for Canada in today's economic climate. The paper begins with a background on Canada's current economic situation, including a look at some literature on the topic. The writer then explores the problem of public expenditure and tax policy in Canada to date. The paper continues with a review of possible changes in North American fiscal and money policy before offering some recommendations based on the study, which include lowering taxes and debt.
From the Paper
"The Bank of Canada may need to raise interest rates further to prevent rising inflation. Canada's money stock grew an explosive 24 percent over the past year. When money is abundant, households and businesses gain confidence and raise their spending. When, as at present, the economy is operating close to capacity, this extra spending is likely to push up inflation. apid money growth may not imply higher inflation if the economy's demand for money is growing at the same pace."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of fiscal policy and how it relates to the management of a national economy. The economic indicators of GDP, GDP growth, and employment are examined in relation to their estimation of an economy's health. Fiscal policies that allow manipulation of an economy are also examined, such as government spending on infrastructure, spending on education, and governmental policies on taxation.
From the Paper
"The changes to fiscal policy in the simulation had immediate and long-lasting effects on the economy of Erehwon. During periods of high or runaway inflation the government is obligated to cut spending across the board where possible. As President, such spending cuts on infrastructure and education programs are never popular, either with the public or other political representatives who have to face their constituents with the news of program cuts. During recessionary periods, the government was forced to spend itself out of recession and, if not congressionally blocked, to run a higher than average deficit. While the public may be happy with the results the long-term effect on the economy of such measures are not positive. Additionally, during a recession taxes should be reduced."

Fiscal and Monetary Policy, 2004.
This paper creates a hypothetical scenario to discuss fiscal and monetary policy.

Abstract
This paper explains that public relations impacts the federal government and the Federal Reserve chairman in the areas of national fiscal policy, which is used to control the money supply and credit to stabilize the economy. The author points out that the Fed uses three monetary policy tools to influence the availability and cost of money and credit: open market operations, the discount rate, and reserve requirements. The paper stresses that a high unemployment rate usually produces low consumer confidence; but, until consumers are willing to buy more, businesses will not produce more goods and services, thus occasionally requiring the federal government to step in to ameliorate things.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are tradeoffs that must be made in every economy scenario. Banks will not like the dip in the rates at which they lend money. Nor will the national and international financial community necessarily approve a larger budget deficit. But consumer confidence drives the American economy, ultimately, and a more secure American employee is a more secure and a more spendthrift American consumer. Ultimately, this area must be addressed through the interest rate, and then through increased government spending, before the economy can hope to recover."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Let us look at the situation in US during the last quarter and that showed a decline even more than the expectations of the pessimists. The growth during that quarter was about 1.1 percent and this figure was less than half the forecast and nearly a quarter of 4.1 percent achieved in the previous quarter. The official figures will not come out till the end of the month since there are adjustments required for the hurricane. This is the second time the drop took place since the recovery in the economy started in the last quarter of 2001. The drop is very sharp during the period of a quarter and the reasons are probably not confined to the quarter itself."

Abstract
This paper answers questions regarding the importance of fiscal and monetary policy. It also describes the affects they will have on interest rates, income levels, spending, savings as well as government expenditures.
From the Paper
"Expansionary policy is a description of actions used to help increase the money supply in an economic system. For example if money supply is low or the amount of money being spent in an economy is low then banks may choose to lower interest rates and employers may choose to raise income or government reduce taxes. Regardless there will be more money in the economy, which will also increase the amount of investments individuals might choose as well as overall increases of capital. In addition to this the standard of living will most likely increase due to the additional funds each household would have in their discretionary income. Although some savings will also increase most often the increase in money is observed by households spending more and is relative to their income. It is true, the more one makes the more one spends."

From the Paper
"In addition to discount window lending discussed previously, the Federal Reserve can control economic growth either by engaging in open market operations (the buying and selling of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities in the open market) or by changing reserve requirements (requirements for the amount of funds that depository institutions must hold in reserve against deposits made by their customers) (Monetary policy). In open market operations, the Federal Reserve can inject money into the system by buying securities which will help stimulate the economy and fight deflation. Conversely, when it sells securities it pulls money out of the system which will help slow economic growth and fight inflation. Increasing reserve ratio requirements would be a policy to counter inflation and slow growth because they banks have less deposits available for loans; decreasing the ratio would do exactly the opposite."

Abstract
This paper presents the argument that there is no evidence to suggest that running budgetary deficits can adversely impact future prospects of a nation. The paper suggests that more research is required to conclusively decide fiscal policies effectiveness or ineffectiveness due to budget constraints.
From the Paper
"Fiscal policy involves the level and structure of taxes and it requires decisions on priorities on public expenditures, such as basic social services, infrastructure, and regulation of economic activity and ownership of productive assets. To carry out its role adequately, fiscal policy should be governed by one self-evident principle: it should be appropriate in the sense of improving 'long term' welfare."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Monetary and fiscal policy have a direct effect on all individuals, yet many do not understand how these two types of economic controls work. Monetary policy in the United States is conducted largely by the Federal Reserve, which sets interest rates for commercial financial institutions. These institutions, in turn, set their interest rates based on the Fed rates, and customers pay (and receive) interest based on these rates. Higher interest rates result in higher borrowing costs and thus less borrowing activity. Fiscal policy, on the other hand, is conducted by the government and is concerned with government revenues and spending. Although fiscal policy is often equated with taxation by many voters, it encompasses a great many more issues than merely taxation, including how much (if any) debt should be carried by the..."
