Debt Stabilization in a Non-Ricardian Economy
In models with a representative infinitely lived household, modern versions of tax smoothing imply that the steady-state of government debt should follow a random walk. This is unlikely to be the case in OLG economies, where, the equilibrium interest rate may differ from the policy-maker’s rate of time preference such that it may be optimal to reduce debt today to reduce distortionary taxation ...
متن کاملAutomatic Stabilizers and Monetary Rules in a Ricardian Economy
We analyze the effect of the fiscal structure upon the trade-off between inflation and output stabilization in presence of technological shocks and deficit or debt objectives in a DGE model with nominal inertia. The model is calibrated to reproduce the main long-run and business cycle features of European economies, and it integrates a rich menu of fiscal variables, including fiscal rules. Thes...
متن کاملDebt in the U.S. Economy
In 2011, the publicly held debt-to-GDP ratio in the United States reached 68% and is expected to continue rising. Many proposals to curb the government de cit and the resulting debt are being discussed. In this paper, we use the standard neoclassical growth model to examine the future path of output, budget de cits, and debt in the U.S. economy under di¤erent tax policies. While this framework ...
متن کاملDebt Targeting in a Small Open Economy
This paper considers a small open economy where government pursues debt targeting policy. In this setting, I find the optimal debt targeting rule crucially hinges on the assumption of bond market structure, i.e. whether household can purchase state-contingent bond. In addition, the country’s foreign asset holding and government’s debt level may have substantial impact on the optimal debt target...
متن کاملThe Taylor principle in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation, government debt dynamics and non-Ricardian consumers
This paper develops a small, analytically tractable New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and government debt dynamics. We show that, in the absence of Ricardian equivalence, the latter channel is of conceptual importance for the design of monetary and Þscal policy rules consistent with determinate equilibrium dynamics. Our model can be used to see how deviations from Ricardian equivale...
