    Politiche macroeconomiche e concorrenzialità dei mercati

    No full text
    Lo sviluppo dell’analisi macroeconomica sotto l’ipotesi di concorrenza imperfetta sul mercato dei beni e del lavoro ha consentito di mettere in luce caratteristiche fondamentali del funzionamento del sistema economico completamente assenti in altri approcci macroeconomici. Questo lavoro prende in esame alcuni di questi elementi e ne valuta le implicazioni in termini di politica macroeconomica, nel duplice senso di intravedere nuove tipologie di intervento di stabilizzazione e di sostegno al livello di attività economica e di fornire più solido supporto teorico a politiche macroeconomiche, che fanno già tradizionalmente parte dell’insieme degli strumenti considerati dal macroeconomista applicato

    Public Consumption Composition in a Growing Economy

    This paper explores the role of the composition of public consumption within a three sector R&D growth model. A competitive industry supplies a homogeneous good and a monopolistic sector manufactures a composite commodity differentiated in many varieties, whose size can be increased through investment in R&D. We investigate the effects of changes in the level and in the composition of public consumption on the steady state and on the economy's transitional dynamics. By varying the aggregate composition of demand, the government can effectively move resources away from traditional industry to foster innovation. Welfare effects are also evaluated. We show that the composition of government consumption affects the entire time path of utility

    Composition of Public Expenditure and Short Run Fiscal Multiplier

    No full text
    Existing studies on the fiscal multiplier under imperfect competition assume a symmetric market structure with identical firms. This paper examines the fiscal policy implications of introducing a multisectoral economy where a composite commodity is o¤ered in many varieties within a market of monopolistic competition while a homogeneous good is produced in a perfectly competitive enviroment. Within the context of this mixed industrial structure we show that the sign and the size of the short run multiplier crucially depends on the composition of public expenditure chosen by the government
