Supply Side Economics or Reaganomics 


  • 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
    1. Empirical evidence suggests that the impact of tax rates on incentives to work, save, and invest, are small
    2. Tax cuts can also increase demand which can fuel inflation
    3. Where the economy is actually located on the curve is difficult to determine
