摘要:This article provides an analysis of government finance and fiscal policy – taxing and spending – from the perspective of what is termed the new macroeconomics, a part of NIE or new institutional economics. It presents a view that is quite different from that of traditional budget-oriented thinking with respect to how we ought to analyze and measure the consequences of federal government fiscal policy and debt. The author suggests that a macroeconomic approach is more appropriate and makes more sense than traditional conceptions in terms of how we should assess the overall impact and consequences of government finance decisions.
