Abstract
This article theoretically investigates the effect of expansionary fiscal shocks when the government faces a high debt-to-GDP ratio, under the regime of an active fiscal policy with a passive monetary policy in the terminology of Leeper (1991). We find that expansionary fiscal shocks become less effective when the government faces a high level of debt because the wealth effect on households decreases.
