Title: Varieties of Fiscal Stimulus: A Conflicting Claims Analysis
Authors: Isaac, Alan G.
Issue Date: Feb-2004
Publisher: Department of Economics, American University
Abstract: This paper explores the effects of fiscal policy in a conflicting claims economy where monetary policy follows a Taylor rule. Fiscal stimulus is decomposed into distinct vari- eties, depending on whether the initial effect is primarily on consumption or investment. Policy type proves important for the understanding of growth, unemployment, and the distribution of income.
