David A1 - Vallés, Javier T1 - Understanding the effects of government spending on consumption T2 - Center for Financial Studies (Frankfurt am Main): CFS working paper series ; No. 2004,23 N2 - Recent evidence on the effect of government spending shocks on consumption cannot be easily reconciled with existing optimizing business cycle models. We extend the standard New Keynesian model to allow for the presence of rule-of-thumb (non-Ricardian) consumers. We show how the interaction of the latter with sticky prices and deficit financing can account for the existing evidence on the effects of government spending. JEL Klassifikation: E32, E62.
