Explanation / Answer
If the consumers become pessimistic about the future health of the economy, they will cut their expenditure meaning decrease the consumption. This will shift the aggregate demand to the left because the aggregate demand decreases and the output will fall.
If the government wants to decrease output, it will use contractionary fiscal policy by increasing the taxes or decreasing the government spending. If the government wants to increase the output it will use expansionary fiscal policy by increasing the government spending or decreasing taxes.
