Among the models that the Congressional Budget Office uses to analyze the economic effects of changes in federal fiscal policy is a life-cycle growth model with overlapping generations of heterogeneous households. In this paper, we extend a similar dynamic model by incorporating a population that ages in a manner consistent with projections for the United States. Under that extension, gross dom...

This paper examines the choice between alternative debt and deficit responses in an overlapping generations (OG) setting. The OG model is a convenient framework for making interest rates sensitive to the supply of public debt and for distinguishing between different types of taxes and transfers. A given deficit-reduction yields a greater reduction of future debt if the policy instrument also re...
