Government Debt and Optimal Monetary and Fiscal Policy
How do di¤erent levels of government debt a¤ect the optimal conduct of monetary and scal policies? And what do these optimal policies imply for the evolution of government debt over time?

متن کاملMatching grants and Ricardian Equivalence
This paper investigates the effectiveness of matching grants to correct for interjurisdictional spillovers in the light of Bernheim general neutrality result. Indeed this result suggests that the usual argument that matching grants are needed to internalize the externality arising from the existence of interjuridictional spillovers is an artifact of the assumption that jurisdictions neglect the...
متن کاملOn Fiscal Illusion in Local Public Finance: Re-examining Ricardian Equivalence and the Renter Effect
We reevaluate fi scal illusion in local public fi nance. The Ricardian Equivalence Theorem suggests that the fi nancing of a public program using either taxation or debt shouldn’t affect outcomes, because debt is capitalized into property values. In contrast, we show individuals may rationally prefer public debt if governments can borrow on more favorable terms. We also propose a new test for t...

An important condition for debt neutrality is believed to be the absence of strategic interactions between members of different generations. I use a simple two-period, parent and child ...
