Stimulus

In economia, lo stimolo (stimulus) si riferisce ai tentativi di utilizzare la politica monetaria o fiscale (o politiche di stabilizzazione in generale) per stimolare l'economia. Lo stimolo può anche riferirsi a politiche monetarie come l'abbassamento dei tassi di interesse e l'allentamento quantitativo.^[1]

Uno stimolo viene talvolta chiamato colloquialmente "innesco della pompa" o "innesco della pompa",^[2]^{[Perché 2 volte uguale? Inoltre la fonte è in inglese, la traduzione italiana è un uso attestato?]} Negli anni '30, il presidente Herbert Hoover fu accusato di "innesco della pompa",^[3] e il presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt usò il termine con connotazione positiva.^[4]
