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