The euro-area government spending multiplier at the effective lower bound
Amendola, Adalgiso; Di Serio, Mario; Fragetta, Matteo; … - 2019
economy is at the effective lower bound (ELB) or in normal times does not seem to matter for the size of the multiplier … average multiplier is about 1 in normal times and between 1.6 and 2.8 at the ELB, depending on the specification. The … difference between the two multipliers is distributed largely away from zero. More generally, the multiplier is inversely …

A simple macrofiscal model for policy analysis : an application to Cambodia
Baksa, Dániel; Bulíř, Aleš; Heng, Dyna - 2020
The paper describes a semistructural macrofiscal approach to simulating and forecasting macroeconomic policies. Our canonical model is adapted to Cambodia and we demonstrate its application with an illustrative scenario of macroeconomic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Complemented with...

Would population aging change the output effects of fiscal policy?
Honda, Jiro; Miyamoto, Hiroaki - 2020
Would population aging affect the effectiveness of fiscal stimulus? Despite the renewed focus on population aging, there are few empirical studies on the output effects of fiscal policy in aging economies. Our study fills this gap by analyzing this issue in OECD countries. We find that, as...

Exploring the output effect of fiscal policy shocks in low income countries
Honda, Jiro; Miyamoto, Hiroaki; Taniguchi, Mina - 2020
What do we know about the output effects of fiscal policy in low income countries (LICs)? There are very few empirical studies on the subject. This paper fills this gap by estimating the output effects of government spending shocks in LICs. Our analysis-based on the local projection method-finds...

Alichi, Ali; Shibata, Ippei; Tanyeri, Kadir - 2019
Government debt in many small states has risen beyond sustainable levels and some governments are considering fiscal consolidation. This paper estimates fiscal policy multipliers for small states using two distinct models: an empirical forecast error model with data from 23 small states across...

What determines government spending multipliers?
Corsetti, Giancarlo; Meier, André; Müller, Gernot J. - 2012
This paper studies how the effects of government spending vary with the economic environment. Using a panel of OECD countries, we identify fiscal shocks as residuals from an estimated spending rule and trace their macroeconomic impact under different conditions regarding the exchange rate...

The fiscal multiplier of public investment : the role of corporate balance sheet
Espinoza, Raphael; Gamboa-Arbelaez, Juliana; Sy, Mouhamadou - 2020
This paper explores whether public investment crowds out or crowds in private investment. To this aim, we build a database of about half a million firms from 49 countries. We find that the effect of public investment on corporate investment depends both on leverage and financial constraints....
