Unit 5 - Supply-SIde Economics (Reaganomics)

  • Tend to believe AS curve will determine level of inflation, unemployment and economic growth.
  • To increase the economy, you take action to shift AS curve to the right. Always benefiting companies first.
  • Focus on marginal tax rate.
              +The amount paid on the last dollar earned or on each additional dollar.
  • If they reduce marginal tax rate, you encourage more people will work longer, which they will forgo their time for income.
  • Lower taxes are incentives for businesses to invest
  • Lower taxes are incentives for people to increase saving -> create lower interest rate for increases in business investment.
