Evaluating Fiscal Policy Alternatives Simulation ECO 372 November 28, 2011 Matthew Angner A government has a couple of roles the need to enforce in order to ensure that their people and land will be able to support them through any times. One of these roles is to invoke and sustain economic growth. The government can achieve this by trying to manipulate the trends in that particular economy, though fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is changes that are made to government spending or taxes that leads to one of two conclusions. One of these conclusions is that the economy will stimulate because of the changes being made, or the economy will slow down.
The necessity of public goods is vital for a developing country to survive, maintain, and become what we consider today, a developed country. The government must also provide economic support for their population. Governments in developing countries must strive with enormous amount of force to keep the economy from going down, as well as keeping it the same, meaning, a developing countries government must enable and fulfill a growing and inclining economy. When the government of a developing country fails to provide security, basic human rights, development, and poverty prevention plans, the government can then be considered as unsuccessful and weak. A weak government can be caused by many of reasons.
Chapter 33 – Aid and indebtedness Aid is any assistance that is given to a country that would not have been provided through normal market forces. Aid may be provided to developing countries because: * Help people affected by war or natural disasters * Help achieve economic development * To create or strengthen political or strategic alliances. * To fill in the savings gap thus encouraging investment * To improve the quality of human resources * To improve levels of technology * To fund specific development projects Official aid: organized by government or an official government agency.

It uses Public money unnecessarily and is unfair to taxpayers. It makes financial reform going forward much more difficult. Protecting the markets for derivative products like CDOs and CDSs allows for a repeat of the risky practices that got us into the current crisis. And finally, by guaranteeing the corporate existence of large banks, we are maintaining their power and priorities and thus are not likely to see gains on predatory lending, foreclosure abuse, and other areas where reform is sorely needed. If we want to help the people who are suffering in this crisis and recession, then we should make financial policies with them directly in mind.
Today the Federal Reserve’s responsibilities fall into four general areas. (1) It conducts the nation’s monetary policy, influencing money and credit conditions in the economy trying for full employment and stable prices. (2) It supervises and regulates banks and other financial institutes to ensure safety and soundness of the banking and financial systems and to protect the credit rights of consumers. (3) It maintains the stability of the financial system and contains systematic risk that may arise in the financial market. (4) It provides certain services to the United States government and financial institutions, and
Credit scores are basically a track record on how well you manage your financial responsibilities. If I was a financial institution, and I saw that a customer wants to borrow money but was always late on payments, I would be a little hesitant at lending that customer money. It is very important to take your credit score seriously. Your credit score is one way to come up with an unbiased decision. Financial institutions and companies can provide credit for majority of the population by using the unbiased formula called the Credit Score.
Just as with borrowing by individuals or businesses, it can be good or bad. If the government borrows (runs a deficit) to deal with a severe recession (or depression), to help self-defense, or is spent on public investment (in infrastructure, education, basic research, or public health), the vast majority of economists would agree that the deficit is bearable, beneficial, and even necessary. If, on the other hand, the deficit finances waste (pork-barrel projects), or current consumption, most would recommend tax hikes, targeted transfer cuts, and/or cuts in government purchases to balance the budget. The decision about whether the deficits are good or bad can only be made democratically by an informed public. However, this is rarely the case, because the public generally does not have an adequate economic education.

Federal Reserve Paper ECO/212 May 14, 2012 Dr. Mohamed El-Kaissy This paper has the purpose to cover the many topics and aspects of the Federal Reserve as it pertains to monetary policy.
