Interaction entre politiques monétaire et fiscale dans une économie non-ricardienne
No full textL’objectif de cette thèse est double. Premièrement, nous analysons l’interaction entre politique monétaire et fiscale dans un cadre non-Ricardien où la politique monétaire est contrainte par la positivité des taux d’intérêt nominaux. Deuxièmement, nous étudions les implications de la dette publique sur les agrégats macroéconomiques.The focus of this doctoral thesis is two fold. First, we analyze the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy in a non-Ricardian framework where monetary policy is constrained by the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates. Second, we investigate the implications of government debt on macroeconomic aggregates
Deep habits and the macroeconomic effects of government debt
No full textIn this paper, we study the effects of government debt on macroeconomic aggregates in a non-Ricardian framework. We develop a micro-founded framework which combines time-varying markups, endogenous labor supply and overlapping generations based on infinitely-lived families. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a new transmission mechanism of public debt through the countercyclical markup movements induced by external deep habits. We analyze the effects of debt-financed tax cuts. We show that the interest rate rises, entailing higher markups, which imply a fall in employment and consumption. It is particularily noteworthy that, even without capital, a crowding out effect of government debt is obtained in the long run. However, the short-run expansionary effect of debt-financed tax cuts, which would eventually be expected in a non-Ricardian framework, fails to occur. This is due to our flexible-price framework. On the other hand, we show that incorporating sticky prices in our model causes debt-financed tax cuts to have a short-run expansionary effect while preserving the long-run contractionary effect

Monetary/Fiscal Policy Mix And The Size Of Government Spending Multiplier
No full textThis paper analyzes the size of government spending multiplier in two policy mix cases: Active Monetary/Passive Fiscal policy (regime M) in the first instance and Passive Monetary/Active Fiscal policy (regime F), in the sense of Leeper (1991), in the second. I develop a New-Keynesian model where preferences are subject to external deep habits and where some households do not have access to financial markets. I show that these two specifications allow for the crowding in of private consumption in both regimes. However, the private investment falls in regime M while it rises in regime F as a response to a government spending shock. In addition, I show that the impact multiplier increases with the degree of deep habits in regime M, while it decreases in regime F. In this framework, in a low nominal interest rate environment, the government spending multiplier is not too large as vast studies show. However, I find that the global effectiveness of government spending is larger in regime F than in regime M, even though the impact multiplier is greater than unity in both regimes
