Summary/Abstract: We are building a general equilibrium model in which the private sector can invest abroad or borrow there with a fixed interest rate. The public sector levies five types of taxes that are used to finance public consumption. The central bank determines the rate of inflation, which affects the real tax burden. Using optimal control theory we solve the model and analyze the relationship between inflation and welfare achieved by consumers. We demonstrate that there may exist a unique optimal rate of inflation.
