Is the Debt War Over? : Dispatches from Canada's Fiscal Frontline

2004

The IRPP very kindly supplemented the Crabtree Foundation's grant and shepherded the project through the original conference all the way to the publication of this book. [...] Changes in the debt-to-GDP ratio caused by the effect that changes in the level of economic activity have on the govern- ment's spending and tax revenues The rate component. [...] Changes in the debt-to-GDP ratio caused by changes in the interest rate that must be paid to service the existing stock of government debt, relative to the rate of growth of GDP. [...] In contrast, an increase in the growth rate of GDP means that the denominator of the debt-to-GDP ratio is growing faster, and thus the ratio itself tends to fall. [...] As such, it does not attempt to model the interaction between cyclical and structural deficits, on the one hand, and the level of interest rates and the rate of growth of the econ- omy, on the other.
