Fiscal Policy Interdependence and Efficiency

Willem Buiter and Kenneth Kletzer

No 3328, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: international transmission of fiscal policy among open interdependent economies under free international capital mobility. With only lump-sum taxes and transfers, international transmission involves only pecuniary externalities: barring dynamic inefficiency, only distributional issues (intergenerational and international) are involved. With age-specific taxes and transfers, the ability to run deficits and issue debt does not enhance the choice set of the governments. Source-based taxes on the rentals from capital and residence-based taxes on all property income are also studied.
