Author and Presenter: James Murray, UWL Economics

Title: Regime Switching in Fiscal Debt Targets and Policy Functions in the United States

Forward-looking macroeconomic theory suggests the impact fiscal policy has on the macroeconomy depends on expectations for future fiscal policy behavior. The effects of fiscal policy therefore depend on long-run government debt targets, the degree to which various fiscal policy variables will respond to debt in order to balance the long-run government budget constraint, and the degree to which fiscal policy variables react to stabilize economic conditions.  He will examine evidence for switching in fiscal policy behavior in the United States along these dimensions.  He estimates fiscal policy behavior equations for government expenditures, taxes, transfers, and deficits, allowing each to have stabilizing responses to economic conditions and debt-servicing responses to lagged government debt. 

This event is open to the public.
