Economic policy refers to the actions that governments take in the economic field. It covers the systems for setting levels of taxation, government budgets, the money supply and interest rates as well as the labor market, national ownership, and many other areas of government interventions into the economy. Most factors of economic policy can be divided into either fiscal policy, which deals with government actions regarding taxation and spending, or monetary policy, which deals with central banking actions regarding the money supply and interest rates. Such policies are often influenced by international institutions like the International Monetary Fund or World Bank as well as political beliefs and the consequent policies of parties. ==Types of economic policy== Almost every aspect of government has an important economic component. A few examples of the kinds of economic policies that exist include:〔Walter Plosila, "State Science- and Technology-Based Economic Development Policy: History, Trends and Developments, and Future Directions," Economic Development Quarterly, Vol. 18, No. 2, May 2004, pp. 113-126〕 *Macroeconomic stabilization policy, which attempts to keep the money supply growing at a rate that does not result in excessive inflation, and attempts to smooth out the business cycle. *Trade policy, which refers to tariffs, trade agreements and the international institutions that govern them. *Policies designed to create economic growth * *Policies related to development economics *Policies dealing with the redistribution of income, property and/or wealth *As well as: regulatory policy, anti-trust policy, industrial policy and technology-based economic development policy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Economic policy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
