CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper examines the macroeconomic effects of different timing and composition of fiscal adjustment in the United Kingdom using the IMF?s Global Fiscal Model. Early consolidation dampens aggregate demand in the short term, but increases output in the long term as smaller primary surpluses are needed as a result of lower interest payments. Reducing government transfers or current government spending provides larger gains than increasing taxes, in particular compared to raising corporate or personal income taxes. We show that these conclusions are robust under alternative behavioral assumptions and parameterizations. A reduction in global saving would make early consolidation more urgent from both cyclical and long-term perspectives. Finally, we show that tax reform aimed at increasing incentives to save could provide support to fiscal consolidation measures. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/089 606 $aFiscal policy$zGreat Britain$xEconometric models 606 $aFinance, Public$zGreat Britain$xEconometric models 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFiscal consolidation$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aIncome tax$2imf 606 $aLabor taxes$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPersonal Finance -Taxation$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aPersonal income tax$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aWelfare & benefit systems$2imf 607 $aUnited Kingdom$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy$xEconometric models. 615 0$aFinance, Public$xEconometric models. 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFiscal consolidation 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aIncome tax 615 7$aLabor taxes 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPersonal Finance -Taxation 615 7$aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aPersonal income tax 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aWelfare & benefit systems 700 $aBotman$b Dennis$0901784 701 $aHonjo$b Keiko$01815884 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bEuropean Dept. 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bFiscal Affairs Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975146903321 996 $aOptions for Fiscal Consolidation in the United Kingdom$94371493 997 $aUNINA
