tailieunhanh - Debt and other determinants of fiscal policy use

Using a measure of variation in real government expenditure for the period 1998 through 2008, this paper employs cross country regression analysis to look at the effect of public debt, both singularly and when adjusting for control variables, on fiscal policy usage.

The purpose of this paper is to use cross section regression analysis to see whether there is empirical support for the contention that greater debt leads to reduced fiscal policy use. While there is a long history both theoretical and empirical of quantifying fiscal policy multipliers of investigating the results and consequences of fiscal policy of assessing whether monetary or fiscal policy is more effective this paper looks at something a little different. With a focus on public debt as a crucial determinant it explores the determinants of fiscal policy usage. The paper is divided into five sections. The first section provides a brief review of some .
