If you're not willing to do some work, why should we do it for you?

Basically:

monetary policy - the use of interest rates to stimulate or dampen aggregate demand
fiscal policy - the use of the fiscal budget (ie surplus/deficit) to manage aggregate demand. Can also be used to redistribute income.
microeconomic policy - aims to improve the efficiency of factor markets by reforming the tax system, labour markets, improving competition etc

hahahaha sorry but u remind me of my friend.... who the night before the paper 2 exam... asked what texts they were doing hehehe

sorryz i know ur not as bad as that but yeah it's just that that it's what it just reminded me of..

monetary policy- are actions by the RBA to influence the supply and cost of credit of loans in the short term money market. It's main instruments are DMO's (the buying and selling of second hand CGSs) to influence the cash rate and interest rate paid on overnight loans in the short term money market.

Fiscal Policy- aims at redistributing income, allocating resources (budget) and minimising fluctuations in the business cycle. It's main instruments are government expenditure and taxation.

Microeconomic policy- actions taken by the government to improve resource allocation between firms and the market so that firms can produce maximum output with scarce resources. This can be achieved through, technical, allocative and dynamic efficieny.
