Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 金融研究所 === 83 === This study investigates the effects of government spending changes on a small open economy in an intertem- poral substitution framework. According Equilibrium Approach, temporary and permanent spending have different effects on output and the balance of trade. Estimation of these effects isolates the different channels through which government spending can influence economic activity, so using the decomposition methods developed by Beveridge and Nelson(1981)、 Cuddington and Winters(1987) and Miller (1988) to decompose the time series of government spending into temporary part and permanent part. The primary purposes of this study are using the model developed by Ahmed(1986) and incorporating newly developed cointegration and error correction model by Johansen(1990), to test as follows: first, is the cointegration relations existing under four variables? Second, the feasibility of the Ricardian Equivalence theorem in Taiwan.
