Laffer Curve


Manipulating AS by enacting policies to stimulate incentives to work, save, and invest
    • Tax cuts to increase disposable income
    • Hard to enact policy because disincentive, people take advantage of welfare
Laffer Curve: Displays theoretical relationships between tax cuts and government revenue.
  • Criticisms of the Laffer Curve
    • Empirical evidence suggests that the impact of tax rates on incentives to work, save, and invest, are small
    • Tax cuts can also increase demand which can fuel inflation
    • Where the economy is actually located on the curve is difficult to determine
