How to use AI prompts to assess fiscal policy

Fiscal-policy prompts should specify the measure, timing, funding, and implementation status. The economic effect depends on who receives or pays, how quickly money flows, and the state of the economy.

Define spending, tax, subsidy, transfer, or financing measures; affected groups; legal status; start date; duration; and estimated scale.
Assess transmission to growth, inflation, employment, borrowing, rates, currency, sectors, and private demand under alternative assumptions.
Distinguish an announcement from enacted and implemented policy, and verify amounts and schedules in official budget documents.
