9 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 9 -- consumption can JUMP at the time new information arrives -- but consumption must be smooth (follow the first-order condition) from than onward:  There CANNOT BE an ANTICIPATED jump in consumption

17 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 17 Wars and real interest rates -- Suppose government expenditures associated with wars are surprise, temporary events -- Study the dynamic response of: capital, interest rates, and consumption to wars -- Government expenditures associated with wars decrease output available for consumption and investment  INCREASE G  Same effect as temporary fall in output

34 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 34 3. Application of the Ramsey- Cass-Koopmans (RCK) model 3.1 Government spending, consumption, and interest rates 3.2 Bond versus tax financed government spending

35 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 35 Government expenditures and taxes Government intertemporal budget constraint

36 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 36 -- Suppose that households believe in government budget constraint -- The government cut taxes at time t -- But there is no indication that the government cuts expenditures -- WHAT HAPPENS TO DISCOUNTED FLOW OF TAXES?

37 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 37 Nothing, because: and the right-hand side of this equation has not changed.  Government will have to compensate current tax cut by tax increase sometime in the future.

38 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 38 Now let’s look at household intertemporal budget constraint: -- current tax cut does NOT affect this constraint at all as only the DISCOUNTERD PRESENT VALUE OF TAXES MATTERS -- and present value of taxes remains constant if expenditures do not change

39 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 39 -- TAX CUT DOES NOT CHANGE HH CONSUMPTION -- AS A RESULT IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE NATIONAL SAVINGS RATE: -- DOES NOT AFFECT: - INVESTMENT(!) - AND INTEREST RATES (!) -- HH SAVINGS INCREASES, BUT IS OFFSET BY AN INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT DEFICIT:

40 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 40 Hence, government cuts taxes  Has to issue debt (government bonds)  Government ensures that real interest rate on bond mimics market interest rate (before issue of new bonds)  Households buy these new bonds with their tax savings Hence,  Household use to buy government bonds what they “save” in current taxes

Dynamic equilibrium system 3.Equilibrium growth and optimality 4. Applications of the Diamond model 1. Government spending, consumption, and interest rates 2. Bond versus tax financed government spending

42 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 42 -- Discrete time model -- Households live for two periods, and only work in the first 1. Overlapping Generations models

43 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 43 Time 3Time 4Time 2Time 1 Generation 1 YOUNG: Work and Consume RETIRED: Consume THE LIFE CYCLE OF A SINGLE GENERATION

46 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 46 1.Technology Owned/Supplied by RETIRED Supplied by YOUNG Capital fully depreciates during production:

47 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 47 time t t+1 Born -Earn Wage -Consume -Save - Earn Interest - Consume 2. Household behavior GENERATION t Production uses generation t labor Production uses generation t capital

48 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 48 UTILITY of GENERATION t MAXIMIZATION WITH DISCOUNTING&INTEREST with respect to C subject to INTERTEMPORAL BUDGET CONSTRAINT

51 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 51 Consumption profile into Budget constraint

63 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 63 Optimality How to weight different generations unclear. Is the allocation at least Pareto efficient?

64 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 64 Dynamic Inefficiency A situation where the allocation is not even Pareto efficient I.e. we can increase consumption of at least one generation without decreasing consumption of all others

65 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 65 Consider case without technological progress a=0. How much do we need to invest per person at time t to keep capital intensity constant? 

66 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 66 0 Consumption per capita

67 UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 67 0 Consumption per capita
