Sectoral composition of government spending, distortionary income taxation, and macroeconomic (in)stability

Abstract: This paper examines the interrelations between the sectoral composition of government spending and macroeconomic (in)stability in a two‐sector real business cycle model with positive productive externalities in investment and a balanced‐budget fiscal policy rule, whereby endogenous public expenditures are financed by the distortionary constant tax rate. Under the benchmark parameterization, our model always exhibits indeterminacy and sunspots provided the tax rate does not exceed a critical value. When the tax… Show more

“…This paper can be extended in several directions. In particular, it would be worthwhile to incorporate additional features that have been shown to influence macroeconomic (in)stability properties in a two‐sector RBC model, such as differentiated capital‐labor intensities in the sectoral production functions à la Meng and Velasco (2003, 2004), no‐income‐effect preferences à la Guo and Harrison (2010), government spending on goods and services à la Chang et al (2015, 2019), and progressive income taxation à la Guo and Harrison (2015), among others. These possible extensions will enhance our understanding of how model parameters and/or fiscal policy rules govern the region of local indeterminacy within a multisector representative‐agent macroeconomy.…”

“…The effectiveness of the stabilisation policy conducted with the use of fiscal policy instruments such as public spending and taxes is still the subject of empirical research (e.g. Chang et al, 2019).…”

“…Чен (P.-F. Chen) [4] за допомогою вейвлет-перетворення, квантильного коінтеграційного підходу та тесту Гренджера на причинність досліджують зв'язки між державними доходами та видатками в різних часових масштабах з метою забезпечення фіскальної стійкості у країні. Колектив авторів [5] розкриває взаємозв'язок між галузевим складом державних витрат і макроекономічною стабільністю у двосекторній моделі реального ділового циклу за наявності продуктивних зовнішніх інвестицій та застосування фіскального правила збалансованого бюджету. Ф. Фаччіні (F. Facchini) [6] був проведений масштабний аналіз методичних підходів до визначення детермінант зміни обсягів державних (публічних) витрат і пошуку загального закону динаміки державних витрат.…”
