You should be able to explain the “crowding out” effect and how this effect might be the result of some specific stimulus to the economy such as a rapid increase in federal government expenditures (assuming the economy is at full employment). In the current U.S. economy, could you imagine a set of conditions where increased federal government spending actually caused private investment spending to rise (not fall)? Explain with an example, how this “crowding in” might occur.
