tailieunhanh - Friends of the Chair on integrated economic statistics

This paper, by Broadbent and Daly, identifies 44 instances of large fiscal adjustments over the last 35 years in OECD countries. Of these 44 adjustments, it identifies 11 cases of fiscal adjustment that were accomplished primarily through cuts in spending. The study argues that these expansions were considerably more robust than the expansions following tax adjustments. The paper argues that the expenditure-driven fiscal adjustments led to sharply lower bond yields and strong surges in equity prices. The authors suggest this led to strong growth in investment, which helped fuel growth rates well in excess of the OECD average in. | United Nations E 2008 6 Economic and Social Council Distr.
