Implementation
Monetary policy
Monetary policy would involve cutting interest rates. Lower rates decrease
the cost of borrowing and encourage people to spend and invest. This
increases AD and should also help to increase GDP and reduce demand
deficient unemployment. Also, lower interest rates will reduce exchange
rate and make exports more competitive. In some cases, lower interest
rates may be ineffective in boosting demand. In this case, Central Banks
may resort to Quantitative easing. This is an attempt to increase the money
supply and boost aggregate demand. Quantitative easing.
Evaluation
Similar problems to fiscal policy. E.g. it depends on other
components of AD.
Lower interest rates may not help boost spending if banks are still
reluctant to lend.
Demand side policies can contribute to reducing demand deficient
unemployment e.g. in a recession. However, they cannot reduce
supply side unemployment. Therefore, their effectiveness depends
on the type of unemployment that occurs.
