Government public infrastructure investment and economic performance in Spain (1980–2016)

Abstract: Purpose The authors estimate the multiplier effect of government public infrastructure investment in Spain. This paper aims to use annual data of the 17 Spanish autonomous communities for the 1980–2016 period. Design/methodology/approach The authors use dynamic acyclic graphs and the heterogeneous panel structural vector autoregressive (P-SVAR) method of Pedroni (2013). This method is robust to cross-sectional heterogeneity and dependence, which are present in the data. Findings The findings suggest that a… Show more

“…So, for example, the multipliers of government spending, including military spending, in different periods of society development (periods of recession and expansion) were studied in order to choose directions in fiscal policy for economic recovery [10]. Or in another work: according to panel data from Spain, which has long been distinguished by "regional inequality in terms of economic indicators and development" [11], the nature of the correlation between the implementation of a policy of fiscal expansion or austerity from the value of the multiplier of public spending is also determined. The research results of the World Bank specialists show the multipliers of public investment with the highest value, "about 1.5 (on average for all states of the economy), which means that a dollar of public investment leads to 1.5 dollars of economic activity" [11].…”

The evaluation of the multiplier of public spending in the euro area countries using the econometric method was carried out by Vicente Ferreira and others.…”

“…The creation of hubs is driven by the need to ensure economic growth (Crescenzi & Rodríguez-Pose, 2008;Rodríguez-Pose, Crescenzi & Di Cataldo, 2015;Perez-Montiel & Manera, 2021), productivity and the formation of infrastructure networks (Zhang, Janic & Tavasszy, 2015;Romero & Van Waeyenberge, 2020). Infrastructure and logistics hubs are crucial in the location of companies, especially when making decisions concerning foreign investment.…”

“…According to Keynesian theory, increased government spending would lead to increased private sector spending on both domestic and foreign goods, with the former lowering exports and the latter increasing imports. Furthermore, the government's spending exceeds its revenue, resulting in fiscal deficits (Keynes, 1936; Perez-Montiel & Manera, 2021). Contrary to the Keynesian view, the Barro (1974) research explains the necessary criteria for maintaining the Ricardian equivalence hypothesis (also known as ‘Barro-Ricardian Equivalence’ by (Buchanan, 1976) in his paper ‘Barro on the Ricardian Equivalence Theorem’) which explains that the two deficits are not connected because individuals are indifferent about the changes in the fiscal imbalance and how it is funded (tax versus debt) (Abel, 1991; Leachman & Francis, 2002; Miller & Russek, 1989; Normandin, 1999).…”
