Fiscal Consequences of the US War on COVID
研究发现，2000年后美国税收和支出占GDP的比例偏离了历史模式；抗疫支出占GDP的激增部分持续存在，但税收未相应增加，这可能导致通胀和名义利率上升。
ABSTRACT After 2000, ratios of tax collections to GDP and government expenditures to GDP have departed from 19th and 20th century US patterns. Before 2000, wartime government expenditure/GDP surges were accompanied by permanent rises in expenditure/GDP and tax collection/GDP ratios. Part of the War on COVID expenditure/GDP surge has persisted, but so far tax collections have not risen relative to GDP. If that discrepancy persists, the consolidated federal government budget constraint portends permanently higher US inflation and higher nominal interest rates on US government interest‐bearing bonds.
