In this article we analyse the problem of public debt-to-GDP stability in the Eurozone within the framework provided by Domar (1944) and Pasinetti (1997) We suggest that a feasible solution might be the realization of a market-financed, growth-enhancing investment programme, which would be particularly welcome because of the positive short- and long-term repercussions it would have on GDP growth and the stabilising effects on interest rates. Some simulations allow us to quantify these effects. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic further reinforce our policy implications in terms of public debt sustainability.

Abstract
In this article we analyse the problem of public debt-to-GDP stability in the Eurozone within the framework provided by Domar (1944) and Pasinetti (1997) We suggest that a feasible solution might be the realization of a market-financed, growth-enhancing investment programme, which would be particularly welcome because of the positive short- and long-term repercussions it would have on GDP growth and the stabilising effects on interest rates. Some simulations allow us to quantify these effects. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic further reinforce our policy implications in terms of public debt sustainability.File in questo prodotto:
