Wars and real interest rates
-- Suppose government expenditures associated with wars are surprise, temporary events
-- Study the dynamic response of: capital, interest rates, and consumption to wars
-- Government expenditures associated with wars decrease output available for consumption and investment

Nothing, because:

and the right-hand side of this equation has not changed.
Government will have to compensate current tax cut by tax increase sometime in the future.

-- current tax cut does NOT affect this constraint at all as only the DISCOUNTERD PRESENT VALUE OF TAXES MATTERS
-- and present value of taxes remains constant if expenditures do not change

-- TAX CUT DOES NOT CHANGE HH CONSUMPTION
-- AS A RESULT IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE NATIONAL SAVINGS RATE:

-- HH SAVINGS INCREASES, BUT IS OFFSET BY AN INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT DEFICIT:

UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 40
Hence, government cuts taxes
Has to issue debt (government bonds)Government ensures that real interest rate on bond mimicsmarket interest rate (before issue of new bonds)Households buy these new bonds with their tax savings
Hence, Household use to buy government bonds what they “save” in current taxes

Optimality
• How to weight different generations unclear.
• Is the allocation at least Pareto efficient?
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 64
Dynamic Inefficiency
• A situation where the allocation is not even Pareto efficient
• I.e. we can increase consumption of at least one generation without decreasing consumption of all others
UPF Macroeconomics I, 2008-09 SLIDE SET 4 SLIDE 65
Consider case without technological progress a=0.
How much do we need to invest per person at time t to keep capital intensity constant?
