  1. Types of FP
    1. Discretionary FP
      1. Expansionary FP
        1. ↑ G / ↓ T
          1. ↑ Disposable Y, ↑ C
            1. ↑ after-tax π, ↑ I
                1. ↑ EG, ↑ Emp
          2. Contractionary FP
            1. ↓ G / ↑ T
              1. ↓ Disposable Y, ↓ C (including M)
                1. ↓ after-tax π, ↓ I
                    1. ↓ Inflation, ↑ BOT
            2. Automatic stabilisers
              1. Already in-built, no deliberate gov action needed
                1. Progressive Y tax structure
                  1. eg. Economic boom, ↑ Y, ↑↑↑ Taxes
                    1. Limits ↑ Disp Y, Limits ↑ Cd, Limits ↑ in AD & EG
                    2. Redistribute Y
                      1. ↓ Y inequality, > Inclusive EG
                    3. Transfer payments (UE benefits)
                      1. eg. Recession, ↑ UE, ↑ UE benefits
                        1. Limits ↓ Disp Y, Limits ↓ Cd, Limits ↓ in AD & EG
                2. Manipulating G & T to primarily influence AD, though can also have SS-side effects
                  1. Advantages of FP
                    1. > direct impact so > certain Δ in AD
                      1. Ability to target certain sectors
                        1. eg: Infrastructure, Merit Goods
                      2. Limitations of FP
                        1. Time lags
                          1. eg: Recognition & Implementation
                            1. By the time effect of EFP take place, economy may be in boom
                              1. Cause economy to overheat
                          2. ↓ / ↑ tax may not ↑ / ↓ spending
                            1. Also dependent on economic outlook, csr/biz confidence
                            2. Inflexibility of G
                              1. eg. Construction projects
                                1. Ongoing infrastructure projects cannot stop halfway to stop spending
                              2. Crowding out effect
                                1. When gov borrow to fund EFP
                                  1. ↓ SS for loanable funds, ↑ i/r, ↑ COB
                                    1. ↓ C & ↓ I, negate effects of EFP
                                2. Size of k
                                  1. eg. SG small k size (high MPS & MPM)
                                    1. Δ in AD will not be significant through k process
                                  2. Nature of economy
                                    1. eg. SG dependent on Ext DD
                                      1. Not effective in ↑ AD since EFP only affect Dom DD
                                    2. Conflicts w other macrogoals
                                      1. eg. EFP to ↑ EG & ↑ Emp
                                        1. May cause ↑ inflation & ↓ BOT
