Globally-Stabilizing Fiscal Policy Rules

Jang-Ting Guo and Kevin Lansing

Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics, 2003, vol. 7, issue 2, 15

Abstract: This paper demonstrates how fiscal policy rules can be designed to eliminate all forms of endogenous fluctuations in a one-sector growth model with increasing returns-to-scale. When the policy rules are implemented, agents' optimal decisions depend only on the current state of the economy and not on any expected future states. This property shuts down the mechanism for expectations-driven fluctuations. The proposed policy rules ensure a globally unique and stable equilibrium, regardless of the degree of increasing returns.
