Address the following in your report as appropriate:

expansionary and contractionary fiscal policy, fiscal policies used to close a recessionary gap and an expansionary gap, and the rationale for budget deficits.

Your report must be a minimum of four pages (1,000 words, double-spaced). You have already completed assignments concerning your selected industry in Units II and IV. Reviewing the information you gathered for those assignments should help you when completing this one.
