automatic stabilizers
Automatic stabilizers refer to government policies or features within an economy that automatically help stabilize economic fluctuations and business cycles without the need for explicit action by policymakers. These stabilizers typically come into effect during periods of economic expansion or contraction, adjusting taxes and government spending to mitigate fluctuations and reduce the impact of economic shocks on individuals and businesses.
