Ricardian Equivalence
Model

The proposition that a debt-financed tax cut has no effect on consumption because rational, forward-looking agents save the windfall to pay future tax liabilities.

Compare

This model uses static comparative statics -- no genuine time axis exists.

Shock presets

Large tax cut

The government enacts a sizable debt-financed tax reduction.

Partial Ricardian offset

Only half of households are Ricardian; the rest follow Keynesian consumption rules.

Credit-constrained households

Higher MPC due to liquidity constraints, amplifying the Keynesian effect of a tax cut.

Controls
