註釋

In the body of literature concerning fiscal policy, a central result is that government spending might stimulate private consumption because only some households save, while others spend their entire income each period. Although such heterogeneity naturally causes inequality, this complication is commonly avoided by assuming that transfers redistribute steady-state wealth. I show that this steady-state assumption drives short-run results. Without redistribution, the equilibrium is indeterminate, and the labor-market structure that is imposed to support the expansive result is theoretically inconsistent. On a more positive note, I propose a labor-market formulation under which the expansive effects of government spending might arise.
