Abstract: This paper studies the losses to the citizenry when the private agents discount the future at different rates than their government. In the presence of such a disagreement, the private sector may prefer an environment in which the government is in financial autarky. Using a sequence of sovereign debt models, the paper quantities the potential welfare losses that citizens suffer from the government's access to international bond markets.
