3- timing problem using fiscal policy to counter a


recession:
One problem with the timing of using fiscal policy to counter a
recession is that the government may have to wait until a
recession is clear before it can take action. This can lead to
a delay in taking the necessary action, making it difficult for
the government to address the recession.

4- the timing of fiscal policy may be more difficult than the


timing of monetary policy:
This is because fiscal policy requires actions from the
government, which can take longer to implement than actions
from the central bank. Additionally, fiscal policy may be more
susceptible to political interference than monetary policy.
