【点评】薛涧坡 中国人民大学财政金融学院副教授
【摘要】We measure the size of the fiscal multiplier using a model with incomplete markets and rigid prices and wages. Allowing for incomplete markets instead of complete markets-the prevalent assumption in the literature-comes with two advantages. First, the incomplete markets model delivers a realistic distribution of the marginal propensity to consume across the population, whereas all households counterfactually behave according to the permanent income hypothesis if markets are complete. Second, in our model the equilibrium response of prices, output, consumption and employment to fiscal stimulus is uniquely determined for any monetary policy including the zero-lower bound. We find that market incompleteness plays the key role in determining the size of the fiscal multiplier, which is slightly above or below 1 depending on whether spending is tax or deficit financed. The size of fiscal multiplier remains similar in a liquidity trap.
