A Level Economics (9708)•9708/13/M/J/19
Question 30 from 9708/13/M/J/19

Explanation

Expansionary supply-side policies increase productive capacity Steps:

  • Define supply-side policy as measures that enhance long-term production potential, like improving infrastructure or skills.
  • Identify expansionary aspect: policies that shift aggregate supply curve rightward to boost output without inflation.
  • Assess options: check if they target supply factors (e.g., human capital, investment) versus demand (e.g., spending, money supply).
  • Choose best fit: government investment in education directly builds workforce skills for sustained growth.

Why C is correct:

  • Building schools invests in human capital, increasing labor productivity and aggregate supply per supply-side economics principles.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Interest rate cut is expansionary monetary policy that stimulates demand, not supply.
  • B: Tax cuts primarily boost short-term demand via increased disposable income, not core supply-side capacity.
  • D: Currency devaluation enhances export competitiveness, acting as demand-side stimulus.

Final answer: C

Topic: Supply-side policy
