Abstract

The present paper examines the impact that budget deficits exercise on economic growth in the United States. Using a simple growth model that includes a variety of public policy variables, we provide Instrumental Variables (IV) estimates that indicate growth in the United States over time. The findings imply that higher levels of government spending have a minimal effect on economic growth, whereas higher budget deficits and tax rates reduce economic growth.
