题目:Debt rollover policy under low interest rates
简介:We study the impacts of temporary/permanent fiscal transfer shocks, financed by a debt rollover policy, in a perpetual youth model with nominal rigidity and r < g. We show that the debt rollover policy is feasible but leads to extremely slow convergence of public debt. Even though financial frictions are quite mild, the debt rollover policy generates a strong wealth effect on aggregate consumption, leading to persistent inflation dynamics both in the short run and in the longer run. A temporary fiscal deficit helps to stimulate the economy in the short run but does so at the cost of long-run stagflation with capital being continuously crowded out. In contrast, a permanent fiscal deficit will create a short-run recession, with persistent disinflation in the longer run. A carefully designed fiscal-monetary policy mix can facilitate transitions in response to permanent shocks, with welfare gains shared equally by all generations.
