Pandoc: Creating Tables, Markdown to PDF

I am trying to create a table in a PDF using pandoc. The following table renders nicely in markdown:

| Type of Policy | Expansionary Policy | Contractionary Policy |
|---|---|----|
| Fiscal Policy | decrease t (increase di, increase C), increase government spending| opposite |
| Monetary Policy |decrease rr, decrease dr, buy securities (increase MS, decrease i, increase I)| opposite |

But when I convert using pandoc notes.txt -o notes.pdf, I get the following:

enter image description here

Is there a reason why the table is such a small width? And is there a way to easily change this?

See the pandoc README, in this kind of table you can set the spacing visually. Try e.g.

| Type of Policy  | Expansionary Policy                                                            | Contractionary Policy  |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| Fiscal Policy   | decrease t (increase di, increase C), increase government spending             | opposite               |
| Monetary Policy | decrease rr, decrease dr, buy securities (increase MS, decrease i, increase I) | opposite               |
