Règles Budgétaires Strictes et Stabilité Macro-économique: le cas de la TVA Sociale

Patrick Fève, Julien Matheron, and Jean-Guillaume Sahuc

Abstract

This paper studies the local dynamic properties of a simple general equilibrium model with Social vat. Strict balanced budget rules often lead to real indeterminacy of aggregate equilibrium, leaving room for « sunspots » fluctuations. In a closed-economy setup, social vat escapes this property and only reduces the aggregate labor supply elasticity. However, the quantitative effects are weak.
