| Details | This paper extends the Ireland (1994) model to incorporate population growth and examines a dynamic effect of a tax reduction on a long-run government budget We find evidence suggesting that the dynamic effect of a tax cut improves the government budget situation in the longrun. Our numerical analysis suggests that a population growth rate consistent with the U.S. economy has positive effects on a long-run government budget It is likely that low population growth leads to the deterioration of a long-run government budget. However, dynamic Laffer curves fail to arise incorporating a moderate initial debt level into the model. Furthermore, a public debt overhangs experiment casts doubt on the dynamic Laffer curves.
