Public Finance , Optimal Taxation , Fiscal Multipliers
Abstract:
This dissertation analyzes the interaction between governments and markets when
governments have the intention to either spend or raise public funds. It is an elaboration
on the role of the State albeit not in a political but economic dimension using analytical
tools of economic theory. The dissertation covers two aspects of public finance: the
effect of government spending and the design of revenue generation mechanisms. First,
in a joint study with Antonio Afonso and Hans Peter Gruener we inquire whether the
impact of government spending on GDP differs during financial crises and normal times.
Second, we ask what is the optimal way for governments to raise revenue from returns
to capital: controlling investments or providing incentives. And third, we consider how
revenue generation is affected by skill heterogeneity across entrepreneurs.
