what is difference between Positive economics and normative economics?

Positive economics
tries to explain the way the economy actually operates
only explains/describes what it is and it does not tell what is right or wrong
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_economics

Nrmative economics
explains the way economy actually should operate
evaluates and tells what ought to be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normative_economics

I was asked this question in my interview.

Monetary policy

it attempts to stabilize the economy by controlling the interest rates and money supply.
Expansionary: when govt decrease interest rates. as a result money supply in the market is increased . this helps to combat unemployment
Contractionary:when govt increase interest rates. as a result money supply in the market is decreased . this helps to combat inflation

Tools:
open market operations (selling buying bonds etc)
reserve requirement (FOR BANKS)
discount window


Fiscal policy
use of govt spending and revenue collection to influence economy

expansionary: when spending more than taxation (larger budget deficit)
contractionary: when spending less than taxation (larger budget surplus)
neutral: when spending equal to taxation

instruments/tools:
govt spending and taxation

Govt spending or Expenditure is funded by
  • taxation
  • seignorage
  • borrowing money from population
  • consumption of fiscal reserves
  • sale of assets

taxation: it transfer of assets from people to govt.
monetarization of deficit: to finance deficit by borrowing from central bank.

(short tips)

guardian of monetary system. it sets short term interest rates and oversees health of financial system, including, by acting as lender of last resort to commercial banks. independent central bank should reduce the risk of inflation. SBP issues bank notes to regulate mnetary and credit system of Pakistan.

main functions:

conduct monetary policy
management of public debt
management of foreign exchange (balance of payment)
advise s govt on policy matters
maintain close relations with international institutions
regulate liquidity in market (by controlling interest rates)
