QUESTION ONE
The Public debt burden may fall on current generation or future generation depending on the operational definition of the term “generation”. With appropriate models/illustrations and operational definitions, show which generation bears the burden of public debt in a given economy. [20 Marks]
This case public debt burden befall on current generation for
future generation depending on the operational definition of the
term generation is is a complicated one to represent generation
scenario and the sustainability of the resources according to its
uses basically government taking Dept for the fulfilment of its
revenue deficit and for the development and in another way to
create different employment opportunities to the upcoming
generation but the question is new opportunities are on the basis
of the present generation for the future generation for it is a
development of present generation and on the basis of this social
changes and innovation the future generation will enjoy various
benefits and opportunities based on the present projects and
work.
This concept is supported by the Keynesian model and the Pareto
inferior equilibrium the situation is suggested on the basis of
full employment equilibrium and underemployment equilibrium where
the existence of voluntary unemployment and involuntary
unemployment so in the case of involuntary unemployment the work
done is bare by the future generation on the cost of the present
generation.
