Effects on Employment and Unemployment

James Perkins

Chapter 4 in Budget Deficits and Macroeconomic Policy, 1997, pp 43-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is insufficient for governments to consider only the effects of alternative fiscal measures upon total output (as indicated by real GDP or GNP). Quite apart from the difficulties of measuring real GDP or GNP accurately (perhaps especially that part of it produced by governments), there are more fundamental reasons why a government should be concerned with the effects on employment and unemployment of alternative combinations of fiscal measures, and not only with their effect on real GNP.
