Understanding the effects of increased government spending on the economy is of great importance, particularly for policymakers. The $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was introduced in February, 2009, to resuscitate the economy. The $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act was launched in March, 2020, in response to the economic crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
