Ogechi Okoro · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : True, Explanation :  The size of the multiplier effect, which amplifies the initial increase in aggregate demand from a tax cut, and the extent of crowding-out effects, which can dampen this increase by raising interest rates and reducing investment, together determine whether the overall shift in aggregate demand is larger or smaller than the initial tax cut.
