U.S. fiscal policy
its effects at home and abroad
by John H. Makin
Would reducing the federal budget deficit improve the trade balance? Does a move toward fixed exchange rates make sense when efforts to control budget deficits are under way? Can the United States conduct tax and budget policy without paying attention to its implications for the rest of the world? In two essays, John Makin traces the unusual path of U.S. fiscal policy in the first half of the 1980s. He finds lessons helpful to businesses and policymakers as the world economy becomes more interdependent and the international competition more intense. His major conclusion is that fiscal policy is a more potent countercyclival tool than monetary policy under flexible exchange rates. Stabilizing exchange rates would therefore require active coordination of fiscal policies as well as monetary coordination.
