    On Fiscal Multipliers: Estimates from a Medium Scale DSGE Model
                Staff Working Paper 2010-30

            This paper contributes to the debate on fiscal multipliers, in the context of a  structural model. I estimate a micro-founded dynamic stochastic general  equilibrium model, that features a rich fiscal policy block and a transmission  mechanism for government spending shocks, using Bayesian techniques for US data.

            From 1980 until 2007, U.S. average hours worked increased by thirteen percent,  due to a large increase in female hours. At the same time, the U.S. labor wedge,  measured as the discrepancy between a representative household's marginal rate  of substitution between consumption and leisure and the marginal product of  labor, declined substantially.
