RT Journal Article SR 00 A1 Dupaigne, Martial A1 Fève, Patrick T1 Persistent Government Spending and Fiscal Multipliers: the Investment-Channel JF European Economic Review YR 2016 FD 2016-10 VO vol. 89 SP 425 OP 453 K1 Government Spending Multipliers K1 DSGE models K1 Capital Accumulation K1 Labor Supply K1 Market Imperfections AB This paper inspects the mechanism shaping government spending multipliers in various smallscale DSGE setups with endogenous labor supply and capital accumulation. We analytically characterize the short-run investment multiplier, which in equilibrium can be either positive or negative. The investment multiplier increases with the persistence of the exogenous government spending process. The response of investment to government spending shocks strongly affects short-run multipliers on output and consumption.
