Abstract
► We assess the response of fiscal policy to developments in asset markets in the US. ► We find evidence of a vigilant track of wealth developments by fiscal authorities. ► Fiscal policy adjusts in a nonlinear fashion to both wealth and price effects. ► Tax cuts offset the decline in wealth during periods of major financial distress.
