Non-linear effects of fiscal policy in Germany : a Markov-switching approach
Höppner, Florian; Wesche, Katrin - 2000 - This version: July 2000
Keynesian theory suggests that a reduction in government expenditure has a negative effect on private demand and therefore on output. Contrary, neoclassical theory argues that reduced public expenditure makes room for an expansion of the private sector and thus has a stimulating effect on the...

The (in)validity of the Ricardian equivalence theorem : findings from a representative German population survey
Hayo, Bernd; Neumeier, Florian - 2016 - This version: 29 February 2016
In this paper, we utilise data from a German population survey to test the validity of the Ricardian equivalence theorem (RET). In 2013, 2,000 representatively chosen people were asked whether they have altered their consumption and saving behaviour in response to the significant increase in...

Carroll, Chris (contributor); Slacalek, Jirka (contributor);  … - 2008
We estimate the degree of "stickiness" in aggregate consumption growth (sometimes interpreted as reflecting consumption habits) for thirteen advanced economies. We find that, after controlling for measurement error, consumption growth has a high degree of autocorrelation, with a stickiness...
