model for six euro area countries suggests domestic demand and capacity constraints as additional variables for export … developments are relevant for short-run export dynamics particularly during more extreme stages of the business cycle. A …

export market and vice versa takes place in a smooth manner. Areas of weak reaction of exports to changes in domestic demand … constraints as additional variables for export equations. We apply the exponential and logistic variant of a smooth transition … regression model and find that domestic demand developments and uncertainty are relevant for short-run export dynamics …

We assess the consequences of fiscal consolidation episodes on public sector efficiency (scores) for 35 OECD countries … for the 2007-2020 period. We find that fiscal consolidations improve public sector efficiency and results are robust … across efficiency models. Moreover, peripheral euro-area economies and economies with debt-to-GDP ratios between 60% and 90 …

We evaluate the impact of government spending efficiency on fiscal sustainability for a panel of 35 OECD countries … revenues to changes in government spending. Next, we make use of so-called government spending efficiency scores, which … the input efficiency scores obtained, countries' fiscal balance and fiscal sustainability is directly improved by the use …

We assess the public spending efficiency of 20 Latin American countries over the period of 2000-2019, computing Data … Envelopment Analysis efficiency scores. For the Public Sector Performance composite indicator, we use the annual data of socio …

This paper empirically links the efficiency and performance assessment of the general government, proxied by efficiency … scores, to the trust in government. Government spending efficiency scores are first computed via data envelopment analysis … (DEA). Then, relying on panel data and instrumental variable approaches, we estimate the effect of public sector efficiency …

We assess notably how do extreme events affect the public sector efficiency of decentralized governance. Hence, we … empirically link the public sector efficiency scores, to tax revenue and spending decentralization. First, we compute government … spending efficiency scores via data envelopment analysis. Second, relying on panel data and impulse response approaches, we …
