National Saving and Budget Deficits
It has been widely argued that government budget deficits reduce national saving. Estimated relations indicate otherwise, both for the traditional or conventional, 'official' measure of national saving and a broader, more relevant measure, encompassing government and household as well as private business investment in tangible capital. Greater price-adjusted, high-employment deficits, increases in the real monetary base, and declines in real exch…

Real Foreign Investment in Perspective
Much concern regarding recent negative net foreign investment of the United States is misguided. It has frequently reflected misunderstanding of the nature of foreign investment and of misleading official measures. The extent of negative net foreign investment and, all the more so, its sum over the years, which is the presumed debt of the United States to the rest of the world, have been exaggerated. Correctly measured, which means taking into ac…

Budget Deficits: Rhetoric and Reality
Whatever the real or imagined ills of the economy, the news media, most politicians and a fair proportion of the economics profession are quick to point to the culprit: "the budget deficit." No matter that few appear to know or care precisely what deficit they are talking about or how it is measured. No matter that few bother to explain in terms of a relevant model just how government deficits may be expected to impact the economy. No matter that…

Components of Capital Expenditures: Replacement and Modernization Versus Expansion
PROBABLY more than half of capital expenditures involve in one sense or another the replacement of existing stock. Among competing hypotheses as to the timing and determinants of replacement expenditures are: (1) they are a fairly constant proportion of capital; (2) they substitute for expansion expenditures, thus stabilizing the annual rate of investment, falling when expansion rises and rising when expansion decreases; (3) they are tied closely…
What Went Wrong
Failure to stop war-induced inflation is traced to: (1) higher tax rates inducing higher government expenditures; (2) limitations of countercyclical tax changes predictable from the permanent-income hypothesis; (3) perverse effects of certain tax changes on investment demand; (4) tax increases, especially but not exclusively of the excise variety, which raise prices by reducing supply; (5) a liquidity leak, analogous to the liquidity trap, which …
