| Tiivistelmä: | The author considers the consequences for a central bank of a declining stock of government debt. The model has a treasury that taxes, spends, and issues debt; a central bank that conducts open market operations in treasury debt; and banks that intermediate private savings. It suggests that a sufficiently small stock of debt can put an economy on the Pareto inferior side of theseignioage Laffer curve, implying unnecessarily high inflation. Discount-window lending is a potentially desirable alternative to open market operations, especially if the loans are not subsidized. |
