will give a virtual seminar “in Insubria & Bicocca”, to which you are all
invited. You can find the title and abstract below.
Title: *Optimal Public Debt Management*
Abstract:
Public debt management is one of the most relevant topics in Economics,
especially after economic crises due to wars, pandemics or economic
recession. We discuss a class of debt management problems in a stochastic
environment model. We propose a model for the Debt-to-GDP ratio where the
government interventions (via fiscal policies) affect the public debt and
the GDP growth rate at the same time. We allow for a stochastic interest
rate on debt and possible correlation with the GDP growth rate. Indeed,
both the interest rate and the GDP growth depend on a stochastic factor,
which may represent any relevant macroeconomic variable, such as economic
conditions. Moreover, shocks on debt and GDP can be correlated. We tackle
the problem of a government whose goal is to determine the fiscal policy
(quantity of surplus or deficit) in order to minimize a general functional
cost. We prove that the value function is a viscosity solution to the
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and provide a Verification Theorem based
on classical solutions. Then we discuss two applications, namely debt
reduction and debt smoothing, providing explicit results.
The seminar will be on *Zoom*. You can find the information to join below.
