Fiscal policies, the current account and Ricardian equivalence
Nickel, Christiane (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper analyses the empirical relationship between fiscal policy and the current account of the balance of payments and considers how Ricardian equivalence changes this relationship. To do so, we estimate a dynamic panel threshold model for 22 industrialised countries in which the...

Tracking growth in the euro area subject to a dimensionality problem
Comunale, Mariarosaria; Mongelli, Francesco Paolo - 2021
We investigate which variables have supported growth in the euro area over the last 30 years. This is a challenging task due to dimensionality problems: a large set of potential determinants, limited data, and the prospect that some variables could be non-stationary. We assemble a set of 35...

Cyclical drivers of euro area consumption : what can we learn from durable goods?

We study the cyclical dynamics of consumption in the euro area (EA) and the large EA countries by distinguishing … cross-country heterogeneity in how different factors (including durable-specific ones) explain consumption; (iii) the … strength of spillovers from durable to nondurable consumption, as predicted by theory, is empirically correlated with how much …

Albacete, Nicolas; Fessler, Pirmin; Pekanov, Atanas - 2024
Closely following the seminal contribution of Jappelli and Pistaferri (2014) - based on Italian household survey data - we employ data of 22 European countries to assess the role of heterogeneity of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for fiscal policy in the Euro area. We document an...

Monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and non-Ricardian consumers
Leith, Campbell B. (contributor);  … - 2006
This paper develops a small New Keynesian model with capital accumulation and government debt dynamics. The paper discusses the design of simple monetary and fiscal policy rules consistent with determinate equilibrium dynamics in the absence of Ricardian equivalence. Under this assumption,...

The asymmetric adjustment of global imbalances : myth or fact?
Dausà, Neus; Stracca, Livio - 2023
We revisit the so-called "secular international problem", whereby the adjustment of current account imbalances purportedly falls entirely on the shoulders of deficit countries. We introduce a stylised model to rationalise an asymmetric counter-cyclical policy reaction that is stronger for...

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...

The cyclicality of international public sector borrowing in developing countries : does the lender matter?
Galindo Andrade, Arturo José; Panizza, Ugo - 2017
The paper shows that international government borrowing from multilateral development banks is countercyclical while international government borrowing form private sector lenders is procyclical. The countercyclicality of official lending is mostly driven by the behavior of the World Bank...
