A Keynesian View of the U.S. Budget and Trade Deficits

Edward F Renshaw

Public Finance = Finances publiques, 1990, vol. 45, issue 3, 440-48

Abstract: A Modigliani-Keynesian type of consumption function involving lagged GNP and a measure of disposable income (that subtracts net exports and net taxes from current GNP) is used to derive economic multipliers for the 1952-86 period which are about the same as those obtained from large scale econometric models of the U.S. economy. The resulting reduced-form equation is useful in allowing one to focus on the adjustment problems associated with large U.S. budget and trade deficits.
