Abstract
Within the one‐sector optimal growth framework with public services and labour‐leisure choice, we find that the effects of temporary productive government spending on the real interest rate depend on the discrepancy between actual and optimal government sizes as well as on the length of the action lag. This paper thus sheds light on the controversy between the empirical findings and the theoretical predictions regarding the behaviour of the real interest rate within the neoclassical framework.
