项目摘要

This research focuses on the role of fiscal and monetary policies in the economies with multiple equilibria. We have first investigated the effects of policy changes in the presence of equilibrium indeterminacy. In particular, we examine whether or not counter intuitive policy effects emerge when there are multiple converging equilibria It is shown that the results depend heavily upon the specifications of production technology and preference structure. We have revealed this fact in alternative monetary growth models as well as in models with distortionary income taxation. In dealing with monetary growth models, we consider both the constant money growth rule and the interest rate control rule. In the models with fiscal policies, we have examined various effects of capital-income tax, wage-income tax as well as consumption tax.The second purpose of our research is to consider the relationship between policy impacts and indeterminacy of equilibrium in the models that are more general than the standard analytical frameworks used in the literature. In so doing, we have studied (1) a growth model with environmental (negative) externalities, (2) an overlapping generation model with endogenous occupational choice, (3) a model of endogenous technical change with knowledge diffusion, and (4) a growth model with R&D investment and taxation. By examining these specific models, we have found various policy implications in the presence of equilibrium indeterminacy.

这项研究的重点是财政和货币政策在具有多重均衡的经济体中的作用。我们首先研究了均衡不确定性的政策变化的影响。特别是，我们检查了当有多个融合平衡时，是否会出现反直觉政策效应，这表明结果在很大程度上取决于生产技术和偏好结构的规格。我们已经在替代货币增长模型以及具有失真所得税的模型中揭示了这一事实。在处理货币增长模型时，我们同时考虑了恒定的货币增长规则和利率控制规则。在具有财政政策的模型中，我们研究了资本收入税，工资收入税和消费税的各种影响。我们研究的第二个目的是考虑策略影响与均衡性之间的关系，而平衡的不确定性在比文献中使用的标准分析框架更为笼统的模型中。这样，我们研究了（1）具有环境（负）外部性的增长模型，（2）具有内源性职业选择的重叠生成模型，（3）一种随着知识扩散的内源性技术变革模型，以及（4）具有R＆D投资和税收的增长模型。通过检查这些特定的模型，我们发现了存在平衡不确定性的各种政策含义。
