Abstract

The new concept of "public deficit adjusted for inflation emerged in the seventies; later on it was employed in several works cited below, and the original label of "real deficit" was replaced by the one now commonplace. The related thesis that the adjusted deficit is the appropriate indicator for fiscal policy arose in the late seventies.
