The paper studies the macroeconomic effects of government spending shocks in an economy characterized by positive trend growth. It shows that the lower is the trend growth rate the less inflationary are government spending shocks and vice versa. Moreover, on impact output is higher but exhibits...

We determine the optimal degree of price inflation volatility when nominal wages are sticky and the government uses … state-contingent inflation to finance government spending. We address this question in a well-understood Ramsey model of … shocks, to a degree quantitatively similar as sticky prices alone. With productivity shocks also present, optimal inflation …
