Fiscal Policies and Political Economy Global Financial Crisis and Policies Fiscal Policy and Economic Growth

Abstract

This paper uses a two-country general equilibrium model of the world economy in order to analyze the effects of budget deficits and government spending on world rates of interest, consumption, and international indebtedness. It demonstrates the difference between the effects of fiscal expenditures and tax cuts as well as between the effects of current policies and expected future policies. It is shown that the qualitative effects of fiscal policies depend on whether the country introducing the policies runs a surplus or a deficit in its current account. Following the positive analysis of the short-run and the steady-state effects, the paper concludes with a normative analysis of the welfare implications of budget deficits.
