Fiscal sustainability and public debt in an endogenous growth model* JESÚS FERNÁNDEZ-HUERTAS MORAGA IAE-CSIC and IZA
This paper investigates fiscal sustainability in an overlapping generations economy with endogenous growth coming from human capital formation through educational spending. We assess how budgetary imbalances affect economic dynamics and the outlook for economic growth, thereby providing a rationale for fiscal rules ensuring sustainability. Our results show that the appropriate response of fisca...
متن کاملGrowth Effects of Fiscal Policy in an Endogenous Growth Model with Productive Public Spending and Pollution
In this paper we present an endogenous growth model with productive government spending and pollution. As to pollution we suppose that it is a by-product of aggregate production and that it negatively affects utility of the household but not production possibilities directly. Analyzing our model it is first shown that for reasonable parameter values there exists a unique balanced growth path wh...
متن کاملFiscal decentralization and public debt
Excessive borrowing by subnational governments due to soft budget constraints and intergovernmental coordination failures might be one of the perils of decentralization. Despite a large body of case studies, empirical investigations on whether decentralization increases consolidated public debt levels are still scarce. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring econometrically for se...
متن کاملOptimal Monetary and Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Endogenous Public Debt
This paper uses a New Keynesian framework to study the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies, in response to an inflation shock when the policymaker acts with commitment. We first show that, in the simplest New Keynesian model, fiscal policy plays no part in the optimal policy response, because of the comparative advantage which monetary policy has in the control of inflation. We the...
متن کاملPublic debt, productive public spending and endogenous growth
We analyze effects of public debt in a basic endogenous growth model with productive public spending. We demonstrate that a discretionary policy violates the inter-temporal government budget constraint along a balanced growth path. A balanced government budget gives a unique saddle point stable growth path. With a rule based policy, two saddle point stable balanced growth paths can occur, depen...
