Sustainability and Optimality of Public Debt PDF
by Michael Carlberg
Part of the Contributions to Economics series
Description
Public debt seems to be one of the great issues of the nineties.
The United States have turned from the largest creditor of the world to the largest debtor, due to dramatic budget deficits.
The European Union tries to build dams against the flood, see the treaty of Maastricht. And in Germany, public debt tends to explo- de, doubling within a few years.
The reason for this is the immense cost of Ger- man unification.
I had many helpful talks with my colleague Michael Schmid (now at Bam- berg).
In addition, Michael Brauninger and Philipp Lichtenauer carefully discus- sed with me all parts of the manuscript.
Last but not least, Doris Ehrich typed the manuscript as excellently as ever.
I would like to thank all of them. Contents INTRODUCTION 3 5 BRIEF SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE PART I.
