Abstract

In this paper, we propose two alternative formulations of representative consumer¡¯s endogenous time preference that depends on consumption as well as wealth and/or revenue. We solve one of these formulations and apply it to study the effectiveness of fiscal policies in a small open economy facing a perfect international financial market
