Abstract

This paper examines the impact on long-growth of changes in flan-rate income taxes when a fraction of total government expenditures is used to provide public services that affect the productivity of privately held inputs. In addition, this paper studies the impact of government expenditure composition on the rate of economic growth. Since demographics follow an overlapping generation structure and fiscal policy effects the economy’s productivity, the paper features the role of productivity as a mean of redistributing income across generations. // Este articulo examina el efecto de los impuestos de tasa fija en el crecimiento económico a largo plazo en casos en la que una fracción del gasto público se destina a la provisión de servicios públicos, servicios que afectan la productividad de los insumos utilizados en la producción por el sector privado. El articulo analiza también el efecto de la composición del gasto público en la tasa de crecimiento económico. Debido a la estructura demográfica impuesta a los modelos de generaciones sobrepuestas, como el utilizado aquí, además de que el hecho de que la política fiscal afecta la productividad de la economía, los resultados pueden interpretarse como si el papel de cambios en productividad consistiera en redistribuir el ingreso entre generaciones.
