Automatic Stabilizers Explained | Macroeconomics | Fundamental Analysis

Automatic stabilizers are like a country's budget's built-in features, involving income taxes and welfare spending. What they do is smooth out the ups and downs in the economy, kind of like a shock absorber for the GDP rollercoaster.

Here's how it works. When the economy hits a rough patch and goes into recession, the government usually spends more and takes in less money (hello, budget deficit). This actually helps keep the economy from crashing too hard, like a safety net for our national income. It's like a domino effect. It can boost demand and, in turn, can even create a multiplier effect.

The budget deficit tends to shrink when things are going great and the economy is booming. This helps prevent things from getting too overheated and keeps demand in check. The whole stabilizing thing happens automatically. No need for the government to jump in with explicit policies. Stabilizers do their thing based on how the economy and household incomes are doing.

So, in a nutshell, automatic stabilizers help cushion the economy from wild swings.
