Pode o Crédito Direcionado ao Investimento Agravar a Dominância Fiscal?

Abstract

This paper analyzes whether the use of directed (subsidized) investment credit can aggravate fiscal dominance. For this, we use a new-Keynesian model with subsidy in the acquisition of capital goods to firm producing capital goods. The results show that the increase in subsidy forces the government to use inflationary tax to adjust its budget (fiscal dominance), but this effect is very short term, following a sharp cut in current government spending, adjusting the primary surplus leading to the economy recession.
