This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the short-term effects of fiscal consolidation on economic activity in OECD economies. We examine the historical record, including Budget Speeches and IMFdocuments, to identify changes in fiscal policy motivated by a desire to reduce the budget deficit and not by responding to prospective economic conditions. Using this new dataset, our estimates suggest fiscal consolidation has contractionary effects on private domestic demand and GDP. By contrast, estimates based on conventional measures of the fiscal policy stance used in the literature support the expansionary fiscal contractions hypothesis but appear to be biased toward overstating expansionary effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: "The key question in this area...over the next few decades is...the question of how large we are wise to permit governments to become." If Canadians are to answer intelligently this question, it is essential that there be a greater degree of understanding concerning the issues...The modest hope of this monograph is to make a contribution towards improving the degree of understanding of the nature of government spending and taxation at the broad or macro-economic level...This study is not an exhaustive analysis of how government affects the lives of Canadians. Not dealt with are the complex issues of how governments regulate many aspects of the private sector and of crown corporations and their role in the economy. The objective is a provide a macro or highly aggregated picture of government spending in the Canadian economy, and to examine some of the more important reasons for its growth.

Book excerpt: Federal expenditures in Canada currently amount to approximately one-sixth of the Gross National Product, Because of the magnitude of the expenditures, changes in their level and composition are likely to have significant effects on production, income, and employment in the economy. This thesis is concerned with the possibility of establishing a framework for the analysis of the impact of government expenditures on the economy. The interrelations between public and private transactions warrant closer attention than they have received in the past, particularly for purposes of facilitating the application of fiscal policy. The Government of Canada has recognized an obligation to promote high levels of employment, price stability, and economic growth in the economy. Fiscal policy is one approach which may be adopted for this purpose and on which the government has placed considerable emphasis in the past. There is appreciable scope for fiscal policy in the sphere of government expenditure. The present government accounts, however, do not permit an analysis to be made of the effects of expenditures on the economy. This factor, together with various financial administrative procedures, tend to impede the effective application of fiscal policy. A scheme or framework is proposed which would provide information or data relevant to an analysis of the effects of government expenditures on the economy. The scheme basically consists of a program economic classification of government expenditure transactions. Expenditures are organized within the framework of the program budget which features the identification of the objectives of government operations and their presentation on the basis of programs and activities. Integrated with this budgetary scheme is an economic character classification of expenditures, which is interrelated with the national accounts of Canada by the use of common concepts and definitions. This framework places government expenditures in the broad perspective of the whole economy and serves to indicate the interaction between government and individual sectors and regions of the economy.

Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

This book was released on 1989-05-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the empirical evidence on the contribution that government and, in particular, capital expenditure make to the growth performance of a sample of developing countries. Using the Denison growth accounting approach, this study finds that social expenditures may have a significant impact on growth in the short run, but infrastructure expenditures may have little influence. While current expenditures for directly productive purposes may exert a positive influence, capital expenditure in these sectors appears to exert a negative influence. Experiments with other explanatory variables confirm the importance of the growth of exports to the overall growth rate.
Download or read book Austerity written by Alberto Alesina and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing look at austerity measures that succeed—and those that don't Fiscal austerity is hugely controversial. Opponents argue that it can trigger downward growth spirals and become self-defeating. Supporters argue that budget deficits have to be tackled aggressively at all times and at all costs. Bringing needed clarity to one of today's most challenging economic issues, three leading policy experts cut through the political noise to demonstrate that there is not one type of austerity but many. Austerity assesses the relative effectiveness of tax increases and spending cuts at reducing debt, shows that austerity is not necessarily the kiss of death for political careers as is often believed, and charts a sensible approach based on data analysis rather than ideology.
