The Role of Consumption-Labor Complementarity as a Source of Macroeconomic Instability

Baruch Gliksberg

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The equilibrium ramification of a balanced budget rule are scrutinized in a one sector growth model augmented with investment frictions and a non-separable utility function in consumption and leisure. Edgeworth-complementarity between consumption and labor is formulated so as to generate a positive co-movement of consumption, output, and hours worked, as found in the data. Calibration of the model to the U.S. economy provides evidence that a balanced budget rule with a Taylor type monetary policy induce determinate equilibria.
