Download or read book Fiscal Discipline and the Cost of Public Debt Service written by Mr.Francesco Caselli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there any systematic explanation of variations in the cost of debt servicing over time and across countries? This paper examines the influence of fiscal variables on borrowing costs in a panel of OECD countries, showing that these variables have a significant role. In particular, an improvement of the primary fiscal balance is associated with a significant reduction in debt-servicing costs, amplifying the effects of primary adjustment on the fiscal position. A significant country-specific component remains, however; several explanations for this component are discussed, including debt management and market infrastructure.
Download or read book Fiscal Positions and Government Bond Yields in OECD Countries written by Joseph W. Gruber and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the impact of fiscal positions, both the level of debt and the fiscal balance, on long-term gov't. bond yields in the Org. for Econ. Cooperation and Development (OECD). In order to control for the endogenity of fiscal positions to the business cycle. the authors utilize forward projections of fiscal positions from the OECD's Economic Outlook. In a panel regression over the period from 1988 to 2007, they find a robust and significant effect of fiscal performance on long-term bond yields. The marginal effect of the projected deterioration of fiscal positions associated with the recent financial crisis is to add about 60 basis points to U.S. bond yields by 2015, with effects on other G7 bond yields generally being smaller.

Download or read book Fiscal Adjustments in OECD Countries written by Mr.Alberto Alesina and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies how the composition of fiscal adjustments influences their likelihood of “success”, defined as a long lasting deficit reduction, and their macroeconomic consequences. We find that fiscal adjustments which rely primarily on spending cuts on transfers and the government wage bill have a better chance of being successful and are expansionary. On the contrary fiscal adjustments which rely primarily on tax increases and cuts in public investment tend not to last and are contractionary. We discuss alterative explanations for these findings by studying both a full sample of OECD countries and by focusing on three case studies: Denmark, Ireland and Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions of macroeconomic policy often focus on changes in the budget deficit. A low budget deficit is one of the criteria for admission to the EMU. But some combinations of fiscal measures having a given effect on the budget deficit can have damaging effects on the principal macroeconomic objectives such as inflation and full employment, whereas other combinations will not. This is illustrated by using results from simulations for various OECD countries.
