Question:
In the mid-1990s, the Japanese government implemented a set of very large, temporary tax cuts. These cuts had very little impact on personal consumption (Watanabe et al., 2001). Is this finding consistent with the life-cycle model of consumer behaviour? If the life-cycle model is correct, and the Japanese government wishes to use tax policy to stimulate consumption, what advice would you give?
