We study optimal monetary and fiscal policy in a model with heterogeneous agents, incomplete markets, and nominal rigidities. We develop numerical techniques to approximate Ramsey plans and apply them to a calibrated economy to compute optimal responses of nominal interest rates and labor tax...

The fiscal theory says that the price level is determined by the ratio of nominal debt to the present value of real … primary surpluses. I analyze long-term debt and optimal policy in the fiscal theory. I find that the maturity structure of the …

A new theory of price determination suggests that if primary surpluses are independent of the level of debt, the price …

We show that policy uncertainty about how the rising public debt will be stabilized accounts for the lack of deflation in the US economy at the zero lower bound. We first estimate a Markov-switching VAR to highlight that a zero-lower-bound regime captures most of the comovements during the Great...

This paper presents a prototype model for development of the fiscal theory of the price level.' In this simple setting …, the fiscal theory's distinctiveness relies upon adoption of a bubble solution, rather than the rational …

The paper presents the fiscal theory of the price level in a variety of models, including endowment economies with lump …-sum taxes and production economies with proportional income taxes. We offer a microeconomic perspective on the fiscal theory by … level. Under certain assumptions on monetary and fiscal behavior, the revaluation effect reflects the fiscal theory …
