What are the spill-overs from fiscal shocks in Europe?
Giuliodori, Massimo; Beetsma, Roel - 2004
We use a Vector Auto Regression (VAR) analysis to explore the (spill-over) effects of fiscal policy shocks in Europe. To enhance comparability with the existing literature, we first analyse the effects of these shocks at the national level. Here, we employ identification based on Choleski...
