Abstract

Many advanced countries face on the fiscal consolidation to set some fiscal rule. For example, countries which join the Euro currency followed the Maastricht Treaty. And Japan set some commitments of fiscal discipline; e.g. “Basic Policy 2006” mentioned about the primary balance would be positive until 2011.

Notes

  1. 1.

    GIIPS crisis actually ruined the Maastricht Treaty.

  2. 2.

    Bohn (1998, 2008) mention about the same concept of the sustainability of the government debt. Hiraga (2013) discusses about the condition of satisfying the “Globally” Ricardian.

  3. 3.

    We obtain the similar fiscal stabilization rule to Bohn (1998, 2008) combining with Eqs. (13.2) and (13.3).

  4. 4.

    As you can see, the eigenvalues are real solutions iff \(({1+r+\rho -\varphi -\psi )}^{2}>4\left( 1+r-\varphi \right) \rho \Rightarrow \psi <1+r+\rho -\varphi +2\sqrt{\left( 1+r-\varphi \right) \rho }\). Otherwise, they are imaginary solutions.

  5. 5.

    Because the eigenvalues are imaginary solutions.

  6. 6.

    It may cause the limit cycle.

  7. 7.

    Because the eigenvalues are imaginary solutions.
