Discuss four (4) governmental expenditures that you believe will have a significant impact on the
national economy. Justify your response with examples.
Please help I am so behind.
Solution
The purpose of government expenditure
Government spends money for a variety of reasons, including:
To supply goods and services that the private sector would fail to do, such as public goods,
including defence, roads and bridges; merit goods, such as hospitals and schools; and welfare
payments and benefits, including unemployment and disability benefit.
To achieve supply-side improvements in the macro-economy, such as spending on education and
training to improve labour productivity.
To reduce the negative effects of externalities, such as pollution controls.
To subsidise industries which may need financial support, and which is not available from the
private sector. For example, transport infrastructure projects are unlikely to attract private
finance, unless the public sector provides some of the high-risk finance, as in the case of the UKs
Private Finance Initiative
