The document discusses government debt and budget deficits. It defines government debt as the accumulation of all past annual budget deficits, where the budget deficit equals government spending minus revenue. It also discusses different ways of measuring the deficit and debt, including adjusting for inflation, subtracting assets, and including hidden liabilities. Finally, it discusses debates around the traditional and Ricardian views of how budget deficits and debt affect the economy.

Simply put, a budget deficit occurs when an entity (often a government) spends more money than it takes in. The opposite of a budget deficit, on the other hand, is a budget surplus.

Government Debt
2. Chapter Fifteen 2
What is the government debt
and the annual budget deficit?
Annual Deficit (2002)
Annual Deficit (2001)
Annual Deficit (2000)
Annual Deficit (1999)
Annual Deficit (1998)
Annual Deficit (1997)
The government debt
is an accumulation
of all past annual
deficits. In 2001, the
debt of the U.S. federal
government was $3.2
trillion.
When a government spends more than it collects in taxes, it borrows
from the private sector to finance the budget deficit.
3. Chapter Fifteen 3
• Modifies the real value of outstanding public debt to reflect current
inflation.
• Subtracts government assets from government debt.
• Includes hidden liabilities that currently escape detection in the
accounting system.
• Calculates a cyclically-adjusted budget deficit (based on estimates
of what government spending and tax revenue would be if the
economy were operating at its natural rate of output and
employment).
The government budget deficit equals government
spending minus government revenue, which in
turn equals the amount of new debt the government
needs to issue to finance its operations.
A meaningful deficit…
Problems in Measurement
4. Chapter Fifteen 4
How would a tax cut and budget deficit affect the economy and the
economic well-being of the country?
From Chapter 3, a tax cut stimulates consumer spending and reduces
national saving. The reduction in saving raises the interest rate, which
crowds out investment. From Chapter 7, the Solow growth model shows
that lower investment leads to a lower steady-state capital stock and
lower output. From Chapter 8, we know that the economy will then have
less capital than the Golden Rule steady-state which will mean lower
consumption and lower economic well-being. Using Chapter 10-11,we
can analyze the short-run impact of the policy change via the IS-LM
model. Using Chapters 5 and 12, we can see how international trade
affects this policy change. When national saving falls, people borrow
from abroad, causing a trade deficit. It also causes the dollar to
appreciate. The Mundell-Fleming model shows that the appreciation and
the resulting fall in net exports reduce the short-run expansionary effect
of the fiscal change.
The Traditional View of Government Debt
5. Chapter Fifteen 5
The Ricardian View of Government Debt
Forward-looking consumers perceive that lower taxes now mean higher
taxes later, leaving consumption unchanged. “Tax cuts are simply tax
postponements.”
When the government borrows to pay for its current spending
(higher G), rational consumers look ahead to the future taxes required
to support this debt.

6. Chapter Fifteen 6
Consumers and Future Taxes
The essence of the Ricardian view is that when people choose their
consumption, they rationally look ahead to the future taxes implied by
government debt. But, how forward-looking are consumers?
Defenders of the traditional view of government debt believe that the
prospect of future taxes does not have as large an influence on current
consumption as the Ricardian view assumes.
Here are some of their arguments.
7. Chapter Fifteen 7
Myopic (short-sighted) Consumers
• Proponents of the Ricardian view assume that people are rational
when making decisions such as choosing how much of their income to
consume and how much to save. When the government borrows to
pay for current spending, rational consumers look ahead to anticipate
the future taxes required to support this debt.
• One argument for the traditional view is that people are myopic,
meaning that they see a decrease in taxes in such a way that their
current consumption increases because of this new “wealth.” They
don’t see that when expansionary fiscal policy is financed through
bonds, they will just have to pay more taxes in the future since bonds
are just a tax-postponements.
8. Chapter Fifteen 8
Borrowing Constraints
The Ricardian view of government debt assumes that consumers base
their spending not only on current but on their lifetime income, which
includes both current and expected future income. Advocates of the
traditional view of government debt argue that current consumption is
more important than lifetime income for those consumers who face
borrowing constraints, which are limits on how much an individual
can borrow from financial institutions.
A person who wants to consume more than his current income must
borrow. If he can’t borrow to finance his current consumption, his
current income determines what he can consume, regardless of his
future income. In this case, a debt-financed tax cut raises current income
and thus consumption, even though future income is lower. In essence,
when a government cuts current taxes and raises future taxes, it is
giving tax payers a loan.
9. Chapter Fifteen 9
Balanced Budgets Versus Optimal Fiscal Policy
Most economists oppose a strict rule requiring the government to
balance
the budget. There are three reasons why optimal fiscal policy may at
times call for a budget deficit or surplus:
1) Stabilization
2) Tax Smoothing
3) Intergenerational redistribution
10. Chapter Fifteen 10
Stabilization
A budget deficit or surplus can help stabilize the economy. A balanced
budget rule would revoke the automatic stabilizing powers of the
system of taxes and transfers. When the economy goes into a recession,
tax receipts fall, and transfers automatically rise. Although these
automatic responses help stabilize the economy, they push the budget
into deficit. A strict balanced budget rule would require that the
government raise taxes or reduce spending in a recession, but these
actions would further depress aggregate demand.
11. Chapter Fifteen 11
Tax Smoothing
A budget deficit or surplus can be used to reduce the distortion of
incentives caused by the tax system. High tax rates impose a cost on
society by discouraging economic activity. Because this disincentive
is so costly at particularly high tax rates, the total social cost of taxes
is minimized by keeping tax rates relatively stable rather than making
them high in some years and low in others. This policy is called
tax smoothing. To keep tax rates smooth, a deficit is necessary in years
of unusually low income or unusually high expenditure.
12. Chapter Fifteen 12
Intergenerational Redistribution
A budget deficit can be used to shift a tax burden from current to
future generations. For example, some economists argue that if the
current generation fights a war to maintain freedom, future generations
benefit as well, and should therefore bear some of the burden. To pass
on the war’s costs, the current generation can finance the war with a
budget deficit. The government can later retire that debt by raising taxes
on the next generation.
13. Chapter Fifteen 13
Fiscal Effects on Monetary Policy
One way for a government to finance a budget deficit is to print
money-- a policy that leads to higher inflation. When countries
experience hyperinflation, the typical reason is that fiscal policymakers
are relying on the inflation tax to pay for some of their spending. The
ends of hyperinflation almost always coincide with fiscal reforms that
include large cuts in government spending and therefore a reduced need
for seigniorage.
