Abstract: This article is devoted to examining the appropriate use of fiscal policy in the presence of private savings and interest rate offsets. The authors measure these effects in the Australian context and consider the implications of their empirical findings for the conduct of macroeconomic policy for a small open economy. This is an abridged version of a paper presented to the Bank of Italy Fiscal Policy Workshop in Perugia, Italy on 21 March 2002.
