When the government implements an expansionary fiscal policy and increases its spending, the interest rates rise as well. With higher interest rates comes a higher cost for funds to be invested. This leads to lesser investment and "crowds out" the impact of the initial rise in the total investment spending. The increase in government spending is usually funded by an increase in taxes, which produces more revenue for the government to use, as well as increased borrowing on the government's part.
There are three main problems that result from the effects of crowding out. The implementation of an expansionary fiscal policy means that the government is using financial resources that could be used by individuals and businesses. The increased revenue from taxes means that individuals and businesses have less money in their pockets for spending and investments. Lastly, with the competition between the government and the individuals and businesses for goods and services, the result could be an increase in prices due to the increase in demand.

Questions- You can comment your answers on this post! Yay!

1.) Assume that the government lowers income tax rates to close a recessionary gap. Will the long-run aggregate supply will increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain why the crowding out effect could play a role in this change.

2.) Identify a fiscal policy that could be used to lower a high unemployment rate. How will your chosen policy affect short-term interest rates? Think about the impact of the crowding out effect and use this to explain your answer.

3.) Use the following link to explain the difference between crowding out and crowding in, and the different effects they have upon the economy.
