Abstract:By Falilou Fall and Jean-Marc FournierOECD Working Papers should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries. The opinions expressed and arguments employed are those of the author(s).
“…The number of years is set so that the debt level in 2040 is the same in the no-policy change scenario and in the investment shift scenario. Public investment has decreasing marginal returns as estimated in Fournier (2016), and the other structural parameters estimated in Fall and Fournier (2015) are homogenous across countries. The most important country-specific parameters that can influence the computation are the initial public investment level, the initial capital stock level, the initial public debt level and the interest rate to growth rate gap.…”

“…The public investment-to-GDP ratio, PINV it , is added as an exogenous variable. This is the framework of Fall and Fournier (2015), in which the effect of public investment on potential growth with decreasing marginal returns as reported in Fournier (2016), is added. 2 An adverse effect of negative output gap on potential GDP is also added to reflect the hysteresis effect of long-term unemployment, as in the FM model.…”

“…2 An adverse effect of negative output gap on potential GDP is also added to reflect the hysteresis effect of long-term unemployment, as in the FM model. The framework of Fall and Fournier (2015) includes three deterministic equations and four estimated stochastic equations, which provide the main coefficients for the simulations. The first deterministic equation is the fiscal reaction function.…”

“…The impacts on GDP growth and government debt ratios of an investment-led stimulus are assessed through a range of scenarios using three macro-structural models which cast different lights on the issues: the Fall and Fournier (2015) model (the F&F model); the Fiscal Maquette, developed in Botev and Mourougane (forthcoming) (the FM model); and the NiGEM macroeconomic model developed and maintained by NIESR (see Box 1). The use of several models allows the main mechanisms at play to be highlighted, as well as the uncertainties surrounding the results.…”

“…High levels of debt can hamper the ability to stabilise the economy (Fall and Fournier, 2015). In turn, deep recessions can harm long-term growth and thus compound sustainability challenges through hysteresis effects.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
