The correct answer is: "lowers".

Lowering the interest rates of the economy is a tool for an expansionary monetary policy. When interest rates are lower, more money is pumped into the economy, because investors take the opportunity to obtain loans at a cheaper price.

When large amounts of money are conducted to investments, there is an increase in overall production figures and therefore there will be economic growht. Morever, employment is enhanced as it becomes necessary in order to meet the larger production levels and as a consequence, demand increases too.

What are the differences between a congressperson acting like a trustee and a congressperson acting like a delegate?
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Representative Greggs won her last election by more than 7% of the vote and feels confident that she is likely to be reelected. This may give her more room to vote with her conscience on bills, even if a majority of her constituents disagree with some of her positions; this is an example of trustee behavior.

However, Representative Carver is a Democrat representing a district that usually votes Republican and won his last election by only 1% of the vote, so he may feel in danger of losing his next election. He is more likely to act as a delegate, prioritizing his constituents' wishes over his own judgment, in order to guarantee a win in his next election.
