The extent of departures from debt neutrality when future income is uncertain

Article Abstract:

Income uncertainty can affect attitudes to debt and whether tax cuts are saved or consumed when taxes are later expected to rise. Some consumers will save the whole of a cut, while others are less foresighted and will consume the whole of a cut. Theorists vary in the extent to which they see consumers as conforming to one of these two extremes. Responses tend to be foresighted rather than myopic, but they also tend to be less extreme than some theorists have argued.
