Monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and non-Ricardian consumers

چکیده
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 equilibrium dynamics. The key analytical finding is that without explicit reference to the level of government debt it is not possible to infer how strongly the monetary and fiscal instruments should be used to ensure determinate equilibrium dynamics. Specifically, we identify in our model discontinuities associated with threshold values of steady-state debt, leading to qualitative changes in the local determinacy requirements. These features extend the logic of Leeper (1991) to an environment in which fiscal policy is non-neutral and lead to a more symmetric role of monetary and fiscal policy aspects in the design of policy rules consistent with determinate dynamics.

The 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 کاملEvaluation of Monetary and Fiscal Policy Based on New Keynesian Dynamic General Equilibrium Model in Iran’s Economy
This paper examines monetary and fiscal policy through the estimation of a New-Keynesian dynamic general equilibrium model for Iran’s economy. In this New-Keynesian dynamic general equilibrium model, the consumers encounter the liquidity constraint and the firms face sticky prices, while they are changing them. In the model presented, a role is considered for both government spending and taxati...
متن کاملDesigning Monetary and Fiscal Policy Rules in a New Keynesian Model with Rule-of-thumb Consumers
This paper studies the determinacy properties of monetary and fiscal policy rules in a small-scale New Keynesian model. We modify the standard model in two ways. First, we allow positive public debt in the steady state as in Leeper [Journal of Monetary Economics 27, 129–147 (1991)]. Second, we add rule-of-thumb consumers as in Bilbiie [Journal of Economic Theory 140, 162–196 (2008)]. Leeper stu...
متن کاملMonetary and Fiscal Policy Interaction in Iran: A Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Approach
Achieving the goals of price stability, sustainable economic growth, and the improvement of many economic variables require coordination between the monetary and financial authorities. In this study, a new modified Keynesian stochastic dynamic equilibrium general equilibrium model is introduced for Iran and in the framework of game theory, optimal policy of fiscal and monetary authorities are d...

If with expansionary (contractionary) fiscal policy, private consumption increases (decreases), fiscal policy has Keynesian nature else, it has non- Keynesian nature. If in certain period, sometimes fiscal policy has Keynesian effects and sometimes it has non- Keynesian effects, it will have non-linear effects. Since, there is not a paper about non- linear fiscal policy in IRAN, the purpose of ...
