An Analysis Of Fiscal

And Monetary Policies


the U.S. economy is in its eighth recession
;ince the Second World War. GAO analyzes
:iscal and monetary policies and their con-
ribution to the current recession.

3AO's analysis, complemented bythe view-
)oints of nationally prominent economists,
)usiness leaders, and financial leaders,
'oncludes that any approach to revamping
,conomic policy be built around the fol-
owing principles:

--Economic policy should be based on a
  long-run objective of moderating infla-
  tion while stimulating economic invest-
  ment.

--Adjustments in economic policy should
  be gradual and moderate.

--Fiscal and monetary policies should be
  based on consistent long-run employ-
  ment, price level, and economic growth
  goals that are achievable.

)verall, a marginal easing of monetary
)olicy and a substantial reduction in future
)udget deficits seem appropriate policy
ictions.
