  • This article revisits the aggregate stability property of fiscal policies with balanced budget
    rules using a standard one-sector growth model. As in Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe (1997)
    aggregate instability is driven by self-filling beliefs in the presence of multiple equilibrium
    paths. However, I find the existence of an indeterminate balanced growth path with a
    continuum of competitive equilibrium paths when productive public spending on aggregate
    production is endogenously financed by a predetermined rate of income taxes under
    balanced budget rules. In this economy, local and global indeterminacy emerges when labor
    supply is highly elastic and a slope of aggregate (not necessarily individual) labor demand is
    positive by the productivity of public spending, independent of the usual indeterminacy
    conditions under fiscal policies such as types of distortionary taxes, sources of government
    revenue, composition of government expenditure, countercyclical taxation, and
    predetermined public spending.
