Optimal fiscal policy in an economy facing socio-political instability

Ghate, Chetan; Le, Quan Vu; Zak, Paul J. - 2002

We present a model of optimal government policy when policy choices may exacerbate socio-political instability (SPI). We show that optimal policy that takes into account SPI transforms a standard concave growth model into a model with both a poverty trap and endogenous growth. The resulting...

Investment tax incentives and their big time-to-build fiscal multiplier

Bermperoglou, Dimitrios; Deli, Yota; Kalyvitēs, Sarantēs - 2022

This paper studies how investment tax incentives stimulate output in an estimated medium-scale dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. We find that the horizon following a positive shock to investment tax incentives is crucial. The shock is highly expansionary in the long run, with the...

Investment tax incentives and their big time-to-build fiscal multiplier

Bermperoglou, Dimitrios; Deli, Yota; Kalyvitēs, Sarantēs - 2019

This paper studies how investment tax incentives stimulate output in a medium-scale DSGE model, which allows for a variety of fiscal financing mechanisms. We find that the horizon following a positive shock in investment tax incentives is crucial. The shock is highly expansionary in the long...
