| danlan | Automatic stabilizers do not require any fiscal change or gouvernment expenditure change, the effect is automatic with the economic expansion/recession. |
| Chidinmaiw | thank you danlan, you cleared that up for me |
| polaska | it is equivalent to say that during an economic expansion, they increase a budget surplus and decrease a deficit, isn't it? |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
