They also significantly impact the composition and performance outcomes of self-emp…
Public Debt and Aggregate Risk
In this paper, we investigate the importance of aggregate fluctuations for the assessment of the optimal level of public debt in an incomplete-markets economy. We start by building a steady state model in which households are only subject to un-insurable idiosyncratic risk and evaluate the optimal level of public debt. We then augment the model to allow for aggregate risk and measure the impact on the optimal level. We show that the cyclical beha…
Fluctuations macroéconomiques et dette publique
Les résultats traditionnels de neutralité ou d’impact négatif de la dette publique sont remis en cause dès que l’on quitte le cadre de marchés complets.

Dans cet article, nous évaluons l’impact des fluctuations macroéconomiques sur le niveau de d…
