B. What are the three benefits of shifting the AS curve outward?
There are several ways of using the supply side in combating recession. One of the most popular method is to use the tax cut to encourage work effort on the part of employees. Another method is to provide investment tax credit which helps businesses in increasing their investment in manufacturing and other economic activities so that they can increase production.. yet another method is to initiate some labour market reforms such as reduction in the power of labour union and increasing the working hours. This is again likely to aggregate supply curve to right as productivity is increased..
The benefits of shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right include lower inflation, increased GDP and no trade off between inflation and unemployment.
