Are you consistently losing points on Fiscal Policy because of ignoring the crowding-out effect? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.
Your Timeline
- Minute 1: Identify the variables. Don't start solving.
- Minute 2: Check for edge cases. Are you about to commit the sin of ignoring the crowding-out effect?
- Minute 3-5: Execute. Keep this application in mind: If the government borrows heavily, it increases demand for loanable funds, driving up interest rates, which 'crowds out' private investment.
Stick to the timeline. Methodical execution beats panicked guessing every single time.
