We use an … analytically tractable general equilibrium model to reveal how interactions with pre-existing taxes in other markets critically … affect the excess burden of new taxes on intermediate inputs or consumer goods. The usual excess-burden formula ignores these …

We show that even when the exchange rate cannot be devalued, a small set of conventional fiscal instruments can robustly replicate the real allocations attained under a nominal exchange rate devaluation in a dynamic New Keynesian open economy environment. We perform the analysis under...
