A Constituição de 1988 e o pacto federativo fiscal

Apresenta de forma sucinta a evolução recente do pacto federativo fiscal brasileiro. A Constituição de 1988 promoveu significativa descentralização de recursos, sem a preocupação de redistribuir, simultaneamente, os encargos executivos. Em resposta ao desequilíbrio fiscal que a Constituição lhe outorgou, a União lançou mão da criação e majoração de alíquotas de tributos não partilhados, sobretudo de contribuições sociais. Mais recentemente, em vista das severas restrições fiscais sofridas pelos governos subnacionais, a União tem-se valido de medidas paliativas, tais como a entrega de recursos a título de auxílio financeiro a Estados e Municípios e o incremento marginal na participação destes entes na arrecadação federal. Por tudo isso, as restrições fiscais tem-se colocado como sério entrave ao avanço nas discussões sobre reforma tributária.

Fiscal Policy and Economic Stability: Does PIGS stand for Procyclicality In Government Spending?

The Financial Crisis has hit particularly hard countries like Ireland or Spain. Procyclical fiscal policy has contributed to a boom-bust cycle that undermined fiscal positions and deepened current account deficits during the boom. We set up an RBC model of a small open economy, following Mendoza (1991), and introduce the effect of fiscal policy decisions that change over the cycle. We calibrate the model on data for Ireland, and simulate the effect of different spending policies in response to supply shocks. Procyclical fiscal policy distorts intertemporal allocation decisions. Temporary spending boosts in booms spur investment, and hence the need for external finance, and so generates very volatile cycles in investment and the current account. This economic instability is also harmful for the steady state level of output. Our model is able to replicate the relation between the degree of cyclicality of fiscal policy, and the volatility of consumption, investment and the current account observed in OECD countries.

O ajuste fiscal efetivado no decorrer do Plano Real e suas repercussões na autonomia federativa

Analisa em que medida a prioridade concedida ao ajuste fiscal, após a implantação do Plano Real (1994), interferiu no modelo federativo brasileiro ou diminuiu a autonomia federativa para Estados e Municípios. Discute se a centralização de poder decorrente de tal ajuste permite uma convivência com uma pluralidade política, própria do modelo federativo e o quanto essa subtração da capacidade econômica neutraliza a capacidade política e a autonomia das unidades subnacionais.

The Comovement between Monetary and Fiscal Policy Instruments during the Post-War Period in the U.S.

This paper empirically studies the dynamic relationship between monetary and fiscal policies by analyzing the comovements between the Fed funds rate and the primary deficit/output ratio. Simple economic thinking establishes that a negative correlation between Fed rate and deficit arises whenever the two policy authorities share a common stabilization objective. However, when budget balancing concerns lead to a drastic deficit reduction the Fed may reduce the Fed rate in order to smooth the impact of fiscal policy, which results in a positive correlation between these two policy instruments. The empirical results show (i) a significant negative comovement between Fed rate and deficit and (ii) that deficit and output gap Granger-cause the Fed funds rate during the post-Volcker era, but the opposite is not true.

Optimal fiscal policy in a multisector model with minimum expenditure requirements

This paper investigates optimal fiscal policy in a static multisector model. A Ramsey type planner chooses tax rates on each good type as well as spending levels on each good type subject to an exogenous total expenditure constraint and requirements that some minimum amount of spending be undertaken in each sector. It is shown that optimal policy does not equally spend in each sector but instead results in one of the minimum expenditure constraints binding.

Union Formation and Bargaining Rules in the Labor Market

This paper analyzes union formation in a model of bargaining between a firm and several unions. We address two questions: first, the optimal configuration of unions (their number and size) and, second, the impact of the bargaining pattern (simultaneous or sequential). For workers, grouping into several unions works as a price discrimination device which, at the same time, decreases their market power. The analysis shows that optimal union configuration depends on the rules that regulate the bargaining process (monopoly union, Nash bargaining or right to manage).
