I. The closed economy -- pt. II. The small open economy -- pt. III. Two countries. 330 $aThis book studies the sustainability and optimality of public debt under different scenarios: the closed economy, the small open economy, and a two-country setting. Sustainability refers to the existence and the stability of the long-run equilibrium. Optimality relates to the path of public debt that maximizes discounted utility. The analysis is conducted within the framework of the Solow model, the overlapping generations model and the infinite horizon model. The government can follow different strategies, it either fixes the deficit ratio or the tax rate. As a result, a fixed deficit ratio generally can be sustained. By contrast, a fixed tax rate generally cannot be sustained. Depending on the chosen fiscal strategy, there exists either an optimal deficit ratio or an optimal tax rate that maximizes the sum of consumption and government purchases per capita. 606 $aDebts, Public$xMathematical models 615 0$aDebts, Public$xMathematical models. 676 $a336.3435 700 $aCarlberg$b Michael$0254322 701 $aHansen$b Arne$01762288 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438065503321 996 $aSustainability and optimality of public debt$94202110 997 $aUNINA
