Research Abstract |
This study investigates the theoretical relationship between population movement or foreign inflation and a government's long-term fiscal health. It uses an equilibrium model with dynamic optimization to investigate a situation in which a government repays its fiscal liabilities using tax revenues or seigniorage. The focus is on an upper bound of fiscal liability, which is compatible with a No-Ponzi-game condition. The investigation deals, in particular, with how the upper bound depends on population size, population growth rate, primary fiscal balance and foreign inflation rate.
