Macroeconomic Features of the French Revolution
从货币与政府预算约束理论出发，分析法国大革命中旧制度的财政困境、三级会议的财政重组以及货币实验最终导致恶性通胀的过程。
This paper describes aspects of the French Revolution from the perspective of theories about money and government budget constraints. The authors describe how unpleasant fiscal arithmetic gripped the Old Regime, how the Estates General responded to reorganize France's fiscal affairs, and how fiscal exigencies impelled the Revolution into a procession of monetary experiments ending in hyperinflation.
