The role of fiscal policy in an incomplete markets framework

No 451, International Finance Discussion Papers from Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.)

Abstract: A general-equilibrium model is developed to highlight the link between neo-Keynesian models of unemployment and recent results on the constrained suboptimality of competitive economies with incomplete asset markets. Although the model deviates from the Arrow-Debreu paradigm only by the absence of some contingent claims, the competitive equilibrium exhibits underemployment and balanced-budget fiscal policies have Keynesian effects which are Pareto improving.
