Ramsey AFC

Ramsey AFC is a method used in economics to determine the optimal timing for governments or policymakers to implement policies that affect the economy, such as taxes or public spending. It balances the benefits of addressing issues now against the costs of potentially higher taxes or restrictions later. The approach considers how current decisions influence future economic conditions and tries to find a compromise that minimizes total welfare costs over time. Essentially, Ramsey AFC helps decide when and how strongly policies should be enacted to promote long-term economic efficiency and stability.
