What happens if the government's willingness to stabilize a large stock of debt is waning, while the central bank is adamant about preventing a rise in inflation? The large fiscal imbalance brings about inflationary pressures, triggering a monetary tightening, further debt accumulation, and...

We develop a theoretical framework to account for the observed instability of the link between inflation and fiscal imbalances across time and countries. Current policy makers’ behavior influences agents’ beliefs about the way debt will be stabilized. The standard policy mix consists of a...

Low and stable inflation requires an appropriate fiscal framework aimed at stabilizing government debt. Historically, trend inflation is critically influenced by actual or perceived changes to this framework, while cost-push shocks only account for short-lasting movements in inflation. Before...

We employ a new class of general equilibrium models with partially unfunded debt, as proposed in Bianchi et al. (2023), to study the relation between real interest rates and fiscal policy. Unfunded fiscal shocks generate a decline in real interest rates, while funded fiscal shocks cause an...
