Time consistent fiscal policies in a Ramsey economy
This paper revisits a well-known case of optimal fiscal policy in a Ramsey model where consumer utility is defined over consumption and public goods. We show that normalising the size of the population to one eliminates the scope for active policy-making since the decentralised equilibrium coincides with social planning. Then, we modify the model to allow for a population of N > 1 agents, where...
متن کاملMonetary and Fiscal Policies In a Heterogeneous-Agent Economy
I study the effects of long-run inflation and income taxation in an economy where households face uninsurable idiosyncratic risks. I construct a tractable competitive search framework that generates dispersion of prices, income and wealth. I analytically characterize the stationary equilibrium and the policy effects on individual choices. Quantitative analysis finds that monetary and fiscal pol...
متن کاملFiscal Rules and Discretion in a World Economy
Governments are present-biased toward spending. Fiscal rules are deficit limits that trade off commitment to not overspend and flexibility to react to shocks. We compare centralized rules — chosen jointly by all countries — to decentralized rules. If governments’ present bias is small, centralized rules are tighter than decentralized rules: individual countries do not internalize the redistribu...
متن کاملCoordinating Monetary and Fiscal Policies in an Open Economy
Delegating monetary policy to an independent central bank will not incur coordination problems with fiscal policy. The fiscal authority faces no incentive to try and expand the economy, as its efforts will be quickly countered by a contractionary monetary policy to maintain the inflation target. We argue that this proposition is not true in an open economy. When the external sector is added to ...
متن کاملEffects of Fiscal and Monetary Policies on the Iranian Economy: An Optimal Control Approach
This paper evaluates the interacted effects of the fiscal and monetary policies on the nominal and real macro-variables of the Iranian economy. Our analysis is thus based on the optimal control theory by which the optimal path of the control variables including monetary and fiscal tools are determined over the period 1963-2006. We also use a macro-econometric model in form of a simultaneous equ...
