This thesis is about the aggregate and distributional implications of fiscal consolidation in New Keynesian D(S)GE models. The thesis studies how these implications depend on the specific fiscal policy instrument used for debt consolidation. Chapter 2 presents a closed-economy New Keynesian D(S)GE model. Chapter 3 extends the model of Chapter 2 to set up a New Keynesian model of a small open economy within a monetary union facing sovereign interest rate premia. Finally, Chapter 4 builds a New Keynesian D(S)GE model consisting of two heterogeneous countries participating in a monetary union.
