UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 34 3. Application of the Ramsey- Cass-Koopmans (RCK) model 3.1 Government spending, consumption, and interest rates 3.2 Bond versus tax financed government spending
35
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 35 Government expenditures and taxes Government intertemporal budget constraint
36
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 36 -- Suppose that households believe in government budget constraint -- The government cut taxes at time t -- But there is no indication that the government cuts expenditures -- WHAT HAPPENS TO DISCOUNTED FLOW OF TAXES?
37
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 37 Nothing, because: and the right-hand side of this equation has not changed. Government will have to compensate current tax cut by tax increase sometime in the future.
38
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 38 Now let’s look at household intertemporal budget constraint: -- current tax cut does NOT affect this constraint at all as only the DISCOUNTERD PRESENT VALUE OF TAXES MATTERS -- and present value of taxes remains constant if expenditures do not change
39
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 39 -- TAX CUT DOES NOT CHANGE HH CONSUMPTION -- AS A RESULT IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE NATIONAL SAVINGS RATE: -- DOES NOT AFFECT: - INVESTMENT(!) - AND INTEREST RATES (!) -- HH SAVINGS INCREASES, BUT IS OFFSET BY AN INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT DEFICIT:
40
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 40 Hence, government cuts taxes Has to issue debt (government bonds) Government ensures that real interest rate on bond mimics market interest rate (before issue of new bonds) Households buy these new bonds with their tax savings Hence, Household use to buy government bonds what they “save” in current taxes

UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 63 Optimality How to weight different generations unclear. Is the allocation at least Pareto efficient?
64
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 64 Dynamic Inefficiency A situation where the allocation is not even Pareto efficient I.e. we can increase consumption of at least one generation without decreasing consumption of all others
65
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 65 Consider case without technological progress a=0. How much do we need to invest per person at time t to keep capital intensity constant?
