Optimal Automatic Stabilizers∗
Should the generosity of unemployment benefits and the progressivity of income taxes depend on the presence of business cycles? This paper proposes a tractable model where there is a role for social insurance against uninsurable shocks to income and unemployment, as well as inefficient business cycles driven by aggregate shocks through matching frictions and nominal rigidities. We derive an aug...

Automatic Stabilizers and Monetary Rules in a Ricardian Economy
We analyze the effect of the fiscal structure upon the trade-off between inflation and output stabilization in presence of technological shocks and deficit or debt objectives in a DGE model with nominal inertia. The model is calibrated to reproduce the main long-run and business cycle features of European economies, and it integrates a rich menu of fiscal variables, including fiscal rules. Thes...
متن کاملReal Business Cycles and Automatic Stabilizers∗
We show that in a standard, technology shock-driven one-sector real business cycle model, the stabilization effects of government fiscal policy depend crucially on how labor hours enter the household’s period utility function and the associated labor-market behavior. In particular, when the household utility is logarithmic in both consumption and leisure, income taxes are destabilizing and gove...

Most countries have automatic rules in their tax-and-transfer systems that are partly intended to stabilize economic fluctuations. This paper measures how effective they are. We put forward a model that merges the standard incomplete-markets model of consumption and inequality with the new Keynesian model of nominal rigidities and business cycles, and that includes most of the main potential st...
