  2. 3. Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans (RCK) Model: Applications 3.1Government expenditures, consumption and interest rate 3.2 Financing government expenditures: bonds vs taxes Macroeconomics SET 4

  3. 3.1 Government expenditures, consumption and interest rate • Comparative dynamics in RCK Model - Permanent unexpected fall in output - Temporary unexpected fall in output • Wars, expenditures and interest rate • The role of expectations • Permanent anticipated fall in output • Temporaryanticipatedfall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  4. RCK Model c c-ISOCLINE: CONSUMSUMPTION CONSTANT k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  5. c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  6. Permanent unexpected fall in output for a given k c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  7. Consumption evolution time Permanent unexpectd fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  8. Capital intesity evolution time Permanent unexpected fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  9. --Consumption can JUMP when new information appears -- But the evolution of consumption must be smooth from now (following first-order conditions) • There CAN’T be ANTICIPATED jumps in consumption Macroeconomics SET 4

  10. Temporary unexpected fall in output for a given k: PART I c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  11. Temporary unexpected fall in output for a given k: PART II c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  12. Temporay unexpected fall in output: Equilibrium response c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  13. Temporary unexpected fall in output: Equilibrium response c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  14. Capital intensity evolution Time Beginning of temporary fall End of temporary fall Macroeconomics SET 4

  15. Real interest rate evolution Time Beginning of temporary fall End of temporary fall Macroeconomics SET 4

  16. Consumption evolution Time Beginning of temporary fall End of temporary fall Macroeconomics SET 4

  17. Wars and real interest rate -- Supose that the Government expenditures caused by a war are an unexpected and temporary event. We’ll study capital stock, interest rate and consumption dynamic responses to the war. -- Public expenditures associated with wars reduce the amount of output avalaible for consumption and investment.  INCREASE IN G Same effect as an output fall Macroeconomics SET 4

  18. Real interest rate evolution time Beginning of war End of war Macroeconomics SET 4

  19. Militar expenditures and long run interest rate at The United Kingdom (Barro, 1987) Macroeconomics SET 4

  20. The role of expectations - Permanent anticipated fall in output - Temporary anticipated fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  21. Permanent anticipad fall in output: PART I c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  22. Permanent anticipated fall in output:PART II c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  23. Permanent anticipated fall in output: Equilibrium response c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  24. Capital intensity evolution Permanent fall takes place here time INFO about the FUTURE permanent fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  25. Consumption evolution Permanent fall takes place here time INFO about the FUTURE permanent fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  26. The role of expectations - Permanent anticipated fall in output - Temporary anticipated fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  27. Temporary anticipated fall in output for a given k: PART I c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  28. Temporary anticipated fall in output for a given k: PART II c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION NEW k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  29. Temporary anticipated fall in output for a given k: PART III c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  30. Temporary anticipated fall in output: Equilibrium response c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  31. Temporary anticipated fall in output: Equilibrium response c c-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CONSUMPTION k-ISOCLINE: CONSTANT CAPITAL 0 k k* Macroeconomics SET 4

  32. Capital intensity evolution time INFO about the FUTURE temporary fall in output END of temporary fall in output START of temporary fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  33. Consumption evolution time INFO about the FUTURE temporary fall in output END of temporary fall in output START of temporary fall in output Macroeconomics SET 4

  34. 3. Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans (RCK) Model: Applications 3.1 Government expenditures, consumption and interest rate 3.2 Financing Government expenditures: bonds vs taxes Macroeconomics SET 4

  35. Government expenditures and taxes Government intertemporal budget constraint Macroeconomics SET 4

  36. --Suppose that families believe in Governments intertemporal budget constraint -- Government reduces taxes at moment t -- But there are no evidence that government will reduce also its expenditures -- What happens to DISCOUNTED TAXES FLOW? Macroeconomics SET 4

  37. NOTHING, because: • And nothing has changed in right-side of the equation • GOVERNMENT WILL COMPENSATE THE REDUCTION IN CURRENT TAXES WITH AN INCREASE IN FUTURE TAXES Macroeconomics SET 4

  38. Lets look at families constraint: -- The reduction in current taxes DOESN’T affect this constraint at all. Only matters the PRESENT DISCOUNTED VALUE OF TAXES -- and the present value of taxes holds constant if government expenditures don’t change Macroeconomics SET 4

  39. -- TAX REDUCTIONS DOESN’T CHANGE FAMILIES CONSUMPTION -- AS A RESULT, NATIONAL SAVING RATE DOESN’T CHANGE -- LLAVORS, NO AFECTA: -- SO, IT DOESN’T AFFECT: - INVESTMENT (!) - INTERES RATE (!) -- FAMILIES INCREASE THEIR SAVINGS, BUT IT IS CANCELED WITH THE INCREASE IN GONVERNMENT DEBT: Macroeconomics SET 4

  40. Hence, if government reduces taxes • It has to issue debt (Bonds) • El govern ha d’assegurar-se que el tipus d’interès real dels títols replica el tipus d’interès de mercat (abans d’emetre nous títols) • The Government has to make sure that bond’s real interest rate replies market interest rate (before issuing new bonds) • Families buy those bonds with their savings. So: • Families buy Government bonds using what they “saved” by the reduction in taxes Macroeconomics SET 4

Diamond model applications 1. Government expenditures and interest rate 2. Financing government expenditures: bonds vs taxes Macroeconomics SET 4

  42. 1. Overlapping generations model • Model in discret time. • - Families live for two periods, and only work in the first one. Macroeconomics SET 4

  43. GENERATION’S LYFE CICLE Time 1 Time 2 Time 3 Time 4 Generation 1 ACTIVE (or YOUNG): Work and consume RETIRED (or OLD): Only consume Macroeconomics SET 4

  44. TEMPORAL ORGANIZATION Time 1 Time 2 Time 3 Time 4 Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3 Macroeconomics SET 4

  45. 2. Diamond model specification 1. Technology 2. Families behavior 3. Dynamic equilibrium system Macroeconomics SET 4

  46. 1. Technology Given by retired Given by actives Capital completly depreciates with production: =1 Macroeconomics SET 4

  47. 2. Families behavior Generation t Productions uses Generation’s t work Production uses Generation’s t capital t+1 t time Born • Earns interest • Consumes • Earns salary • Consumes Macroeconomics SET 4

  48. GENERATION t UTILITY MAXIMIZATION WITH DISCOUNT TAXES AND INTEREST Respect C Subject to: INTERTEMPORAL BUDGET CONSTRAINT Macroeconomics SET 4

  49. First-order conditions for generation t “EFFECTIVE TEMPORAL DISCOUNT” Macroeconomics SET 4
