Monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and non-Ricardian consumers
This paper develops a small New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and government debt dynamics. The paper discusses the design of simple monetary and fiscal policy rules consistent with determinate equilibrium dynamics in the absence of Ricardian equivalence. Under this assumption, government debt turns into a relevant state variable which needs to be accounted for in the analysis of eq...
متن کاملRicardian Consumers with Keynesian Propensities
This paper examines Ricardian equivalence in a world in which taxes are not lump sum, but are levied on risky labor income. It shows that the marginal propensity to consume out of a tax cut, coupled with a future income tax increase, can be substantial under plausible assumptions. Indeed, the MPC out of a tax cut can be closer to the Keynesian value that ignores the future tax liabilities than ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Consumers and Fiscal Policy Shocks
This paper studies stylized empirical facts regarding the e¤ects of unexpected changes in aggregate macroeconomic policies on consumers that are allowed to di¤er depending on their individual characteristics. In particular, we focus on scal shocks due to their important e¤ects on consumerswelfare. We use data from the Consumption Expenditure Survey (CEX) to estimate impulse responses as well ...
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...
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...
