Optimality for Manufacturing FirmsThe paper analyzes Chile's structural balance fiscal rule in the face of copper price shocks originating in foreign copper demand. It uses a version of the IMF's Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF) that includes a copper sector. Two results are obtained. First, Chile's current fiscal rule performs well if the policymaker puts a small weight on output volatility (relative to inflation volatility) in his/her objective function. A more aggressive countercyclical fiscal rule can attain lower output volatility, but there is a trade-off with (somewhat) higher inflation volatility and IMF working paper ;WP/09/88.Fiscal policyChileFinance, PublicChileElectronic books.Fiscal policyFinance, PublicKumhof Michael866240Laxton Douglas860295MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464068503321Chile's structural fiscal surplus rule2060006UNINA
