Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Automatic stabilizers are economic policies and programs designed to offset fluctuations in a nation's economic activity without intervention by the government or policymakers. While unemployment compensation, progressive income taxes, and housing subsidies automatically adjust with economic conditions, providing more support during downturns and less during expansions, school construction is typically a discretionary spending decision made by governments and does not automatically adjust with the economic cycle.
