摘要:
Using an intertemporal equilibrium model with overlapping generations, this paper explores how intergenerational and international distributional effects, in addition to intertemporal efficiency impacts, affect the macroeconomic consequences of investment-promoting policies. Whereas the intergenerational distributional effects may weaken the initial expansionary effects of an investment tax credit, they strengthen the short-run positive effects on domestic demand exerted by a lower corporate tax rate. The paper also explores several policies aimed at neutralizing the intergenerational and international distributional consequences of investment-promoting policies.
