Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distinguish between fiscal policy tools and monetary policy tools.
Taxation and government spending are fiscal policy tools set by Congress. IORB and open market operations are monetary policy tools set by the Federal Reserve Board/FOMC.
Fiscal policy relates to federal budget decisions by elected officials, whereas monetary policy concerns money supply and credit control by the central bank.
2
Determine the economic intent (expansionary vs. contractionary) of each tool.
Higher taxes, higher IORB rates, and selling securities decrease money circulating in the economy (contractionary). Increasing spending injects money directly into the economy (expansionary).
Contractionary policies aim to curb inflation by slowing money growth, while expansionary policies aim to boost output and employment.
3
Pair each specific action to its authority and policy type.
Match left_1 to right_1, left_2 to right_2, left_3 to right_3, and left_4 to right_4.
Each action aligns precisely with the legal authority and economic objective of that policy tool.
