Permanent tax cuts make the aggregate demand
decrease more than do temporary tax cuts
decrease not as much as do temporary tax cuts.
increase more do temporary tax cuts.
increase not as much as do temporary tax cuts.
The impact of fiscal policy on aggregate demand in terms of
administration of tax cuts depends on the nature of tax cuts. In
other words, whether the tax cuts are temporary or permanent.
When tax cuts are temporary then this encourages the households to save more out of the increase in income due to tax cuts as they believe that they will have to pay higher taxes in future. On the other hand, when tax cuts are permanent then households have no fear of increased taxes in future and thus they save less.
So, consumption expenditure tends to be higher in case the tax cuts are permanent relative to when tax cuts are temporary.
Thus,
Permanent tax cuts make the aggregate demand increase more than do temporary tax cuts.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (3).
