Divided government: occurs when the governors are unable to reach an agreement about the governance of the country. On that occasion, several different aspects of how the government should act arise, lacking an efficient consensus among politicians and generating strong cases of politicization, which prevents efficient and necessary public policies from being established and voted to allow their execution.
Weak party discipline: Prevents rapid voting on the implementation of public policies. As a result, the implementation of these policies is delayed and precarious. In addition, it makes the work of the federal government more difficult, forcing each parliamentarian to negotiate for these policies separately, making it difficult for political agreements to exist, as the governor starts to act individually.
Growth in the number of interest groups: When a public policy is established and needs to go into the execution process, it is necessary that all government officials work together, which does not happen when interest groups are generated. Each interest group acts individually, seeking personal and not collective benefits.
Political action committees: They can promote the interests of just a group of government officials, generate politicization and polarization of political thought, in addition to generating power gaps that can prevent the implementation of public policies.
The first alternative is correct.
Political economy can often be conflicting.
The main instruments of economic policy are monetary policy and fiscal policy. Both can be used to stimulate or discourage the economy. In this way, when they are adopted with the opposite sign, they are an example of conflict, as described in this exercise.
If the government wants to stimulate the economy through increased spending (expansionary fiscal policy), it will be injecting money into the economy. However, the main cause of inflation is excess currency in circulation. Thus, a contractionary monetary policy aims to wipe out the supply of money to contain inflation. That is, the first measure is inflationary to stimulate the economy, but the second is anti-inflationary, however contractionary.
<em>"Suppose the government and the Federal Reserve have conflicting goals. The government wants to encourage economic growth by </em><em>increasing spending</em><em>, but the Federal Reserve wants to decrease inflation by </em><em>decreasing the money supply</em><em>".</em>
