Financial Sustainability And The Debt-stabilizing Rule In The New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (dsge) Model

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of financial sustainability in an open economy exposed to oil price shocks, using a baseline New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model based on the three core equations. The model is extended to include a public sector characterized by an intertemporal budget constraint and a simplified fiscal block that links the primary balance to public debt. Two scenarios are compared: (a) the absence of a fiscal rule, where the government does not respond to debt gaps, and (b) the presence of a debt-stabilizing rule, where the primary balance adjusts proportionally to the debt level.
