Answer:

Fiscal expansion

stimulates aggregate demand and causes output to rise.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Federal Government employs a fiscal expansion policy when it wants to boost economic growth. Such a policy is always needed during the contractionary phase of the business cycle. The purposes of a fiscal expansion policy by the government are to reduce unemployment, engender consumer demand and growth, and avoid an economic downturn.
