Abstract

A Note on Tax Multiplier

The conclusion of Holmes and Smyth (1972), which has received wide attention in the literature, indicates that a tax cut policy may depress domestic output if the money demand function is determined by disposable income rather than national income. This paper adopts the Cebula (1976) specification of the consumption and investment functions, and finds that the Holmes-Smyth assertion is not valid under this amended framework.
