Abstract : | This thesis is about fiscal policy and public finance in dynamic general equilibrium models.The aim is to study how reforms in the fiscal policy mix chosen (spending-tax), affectmacroeconomic outcomes (like per capita output, savings etc) and distribution among variouseconomic groups. Given that taxes are always distorting and/or that public spendingis not always beneficial for every income group, the key issue of this thesis is to look forthe least distorting tax mix and/or Pareto improving spending reforms. In this context, thethesis deals with three debated topics of the policy and academic agenda.
