Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following given below correctly defines the crowding out?
Correct
The crowding out effect is an economic theory arguing that rising public sector spending drives down or even eliminates private sector spending. Sometimes, government adopts an expansionary fiscal policy stance and increases its spending to boost the economic activity.
Usually this increase in government spending is funded using higher taxes or borrowing on part of the government. When governments raise taxes in order to introduce or expand welfare programs, individuals and businesses are left with less discretionary income, which can reduce charitable contributions. In this respect, public sector expenditures for social welfare can reduce private sector giving for social welfare, offsetting the government’s spending on those same causes.
Higher borrowings by the Government has the effect of absorbing the economy’s lending capacity by increasing interest rate and thus discouraging businesses from making capital investments.Incorrect
