选项:
A.
Expansionary fiscal policy and contractionary monetary policy.
B.
Contractionary fiscal policy and expansionary monetary policy.
C.
Contractionary fiscal policy and contractionary monetary policy.
解释:
Solution
- Correct because a reduction in taxes reflects an expansionary fiscal policy, which aims to stimulate economic growth. Simultaneously, an increase in interest rates signals a contractionary or tight monetary policy, designed to control inflation and slow down economic activity.
- Incorrect because a decrease in taxes suggests expansionary fiscal policy, not contractionary fiscal policy.
- Incorrect because a decrease in taxes implies expansionary fiscal policy, not contractionary fiscal policy. Additionally, an increase in interest rates indicates tight monetary policy, but the fiscal policy aspect is inconsistent with the options given.
