【报告摘要】We provide a new Keynesian model with overlapping generations to study the impact of temporary and permanent increases in fiscal deficits financed by debt rollover policy when interest rates are lower than economic growth rates. We show that the debt rollover policy is feasible in the monetary regime, but leads to very slow-moving debt. This policy generates persistent inflation for a temporary increase in fiscal deficits, but persistent disinflation for a permanent increase. In terms of social welfare, the debt rollover policy dominates the conventional fiscal ruleto finance a temporary increase in fiscal deficits, but is dominated if the increase is permanent。
