Level, slope, curvature of the sovereign yield curve, and fiscal behaviour
Afonso, António; Martins, Manuel M.F. - 2010
We study fiscal behaviour and the sovereign yield curve in the U.S. and Germany in the period 1981:I-2009:IV. The latent factors, level, slope and curvature, obtained with the Kalman filter, are used in a VAR with macro and fiscal variables, controlling for financial stress conditions. In the...

Monetary and fiscal policy aspects of indirect tax changes in a monetary union
Lipińska, Anna; von Thadden, Leopold - 2009
In recent years a number of European countries have shifted their tax structure more strongly towards indirect taxes, motivated, inter alia, by the intention to foster competitiveness. Against this background, this paper develops a tractable two-country model of a monetary union, characterised...

Designing QE in a fiscally sound monetary union
Bletzinger, Tilman; von Thadden, Leopold - 2018
This paper develops a tractable model of a monetary union with a sound fiscal governance structure and shows how in such environment the design of monetary policy above and at the lower bound constraint on short-term interest rates can be linked to well-known findings from the literature dealing...

Fiscal policy and growth: do financial crises make a difference?
Afonso, António; Grüner, Hans Peter; Kolerus, Christina - 2010
In this paper we assess to what extent in the existence of a financial crisis, government spending can contribute to mitigate economic downturns in the short run and whether such impact differs in crisis and non crisis times. We use panel analysis for a set of OECD and non-OECD countries for the...
