Abstract

This chapter applies Bayesian estimation to an open-economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model of Japan to assess the effects of expanding government debt on interest rates, real exchange-rate dynamics, and real sector performance. We find that the emergence of even a small risk premium on will trigger considerable instability in the real and nominal variables. We show that a switch to an exchange-rate rule for monetary policy would considerably moderate the instability induced by a rising risk premium.
