Income stability and economic efficiency under alternative tax schemes
In: Research Department staff report
In: Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis 86
"The relative efficiency of alternative income tax systems is analyzed in a dynamic, general equilibrium model having an endogenous labor supply and imperfect risk sharing. This theoretical model allows different tax systems to be compared with respect to their labor distortion effects, their automatic income stability properties, and the welfare they provide on average to a representative consumer-laborer. The comparisons are done for the optimal tax parameters under each given tax system. Despite a role for income stabilization, the optimal income tax schedule turns out to be regressive"--Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis web site
Fiscal policy in a monetarist model
In: Research Department staff report
In: Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis 67
"In a model which exhibits many monetarist properties it is shown that monetary and fiscal policies must be coordinated. The model is populated by overlapping generations of three-period lived agents who can hold fiat money, fiat bonds, and physical capital. A government produces a public good and issues both money and fiat bonds to finance permanent budget deficits. In this model both fiat money and fiat bonds can have value in equilibrium, and their co-existence can allow a more efficient financing of deficits than can a single debt instrument"--Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis web site

The CBO's policy analysis: an unquestionable misuse of a questionable theory
In: Research Department staff report
In: Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis 49
In: Staff report / Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Research Department 27
In: Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
"The analyses of fiscal and monetary policies that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) provides Congress tend to be biased, encouraging the use of activist stabilization policies. The CBO's virtual neglect of economic uncertainties and its emphasis on very short time horizons make active policies appear much more attractive than its own model implies. Moreover, the CBO's adoption of the macroeconometric approach fundamentally biases its analyses. Macroeconometric models do not remain invariant to changes in policy rules and are mute on the implications of alternative policies for efficiency and income distribution. The rational expectations equilibrium approach overcomes these difficulties and implies that less activist and less inflationary policies are desirable"--Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis web site

Self-ownership and non-culpable proviso violations
In: Politics, philosophy & economics: ppe, Band 14, Heft 1, S. 67-83
ISSN: 1741-3060
Left and right libertarians alike are attracted to the thesis of self-ownership (SO) because, as Eric Mack says, they 'believe that it best captures our common perception of the moral inviolability of persons'. Further, most libertarians, left and right, accept that some version of the Lockean Proviso (LP) restricts agents' ability to acquire worldly resources. The inviolability of SO purports to make libertarianism more appealing than its (non-libertarian) egalitarian counterparts, since traditional egalitarian theories cannot straightforwardly explain why, e.g. forced organ donation and forced labor are serious wrongs even when they generate more equitable outcomes or benefit the greater good. I argue that, when SO is coupled with LP, this appeal is unfounded. SO, as usually construed, allows for the possibility of justified incursions of non-culpable agents up to and including forced organ donation. I conclude by considering a few possible responses on behalf of the libertarian, assessing each one's plausibility.

The strange death of UK civil defence education in the 1980s
In the cold war, the United Kingdom government devised a number of public education campaigns to inform citizens about the precautions that they should undertake in the event of a nuclear attack. One such campaign, Protect and Survive, was released to the general public and media in May 1980. The negative publicity this publication received is considered to be a reason why a successor publication was never released despite the increased risk of nuclear attack. Using recently released records from the UK National Archives the paper considers that, aside from this explanation, interlocking institutional objectives, rather than simply inertia, provide an explanation for this hiatus.
