摘要:In this paper, we compare growth and welfare e¤ects of various budget rules within
an endogenous growth model with productive public capital, utility enhancing public
consumption and public debt. We .nd that a .xed de.cit regime does not a¤ect
the long run growth rate compared to a balanced budget while the growth rate is
increased by a golden rule. Welfare e¤ects are ambiguous. Simulations indicate
that economies populated by households who have a strong tendency to smooth
consumption should adhere to a balanced budget rather than a golden rule or a
.xed de.cit rule from a welfare point of view.
