It is shown that the policy to maintain a 110% level of the ratio of outstanding government debts to GDP is not preferred by all generations when a wage tax is used to redeem outstanding government deficits, but this policy is in turn preferred by old generations to the policy to maintain a 90% level of the ratio when a consumption tax is used to redeem deficits. It is also shown that a lower level of outstanding government deficits in a steady state is more preferred by future generations, since a lower steady state level of outstanding government deficits is followed by an increase in tax rate at a relatively earlier stage, thus resulting in a relatively lower tax on future generations to finance the interest payment incurred from the smaller amount of future outstanding government debts., 滋賀大学経済学部Working Paper Series, No. 70, pp. 1-26}, title = {Government Deficits in an Aging Japan}, year = {2000} }
