Revisiting the growth effects of fiscal policy: A Bayesian model averaging approach

Abstract: Motivated by the mixed evidence in previous literature, we reexamine the effects of various types of government spending and taxes, as well as overall budget surplus/deficit, on economic growth. To address the model uncertainty issue that may have plagued earlier studies we employ a Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) approach. We use a panel data set for OECD countries for the 1990-2013 period, control for country and time specific effects, and allow for a wide range of other potential growth determinants. The res… Show more

“…The budget policy in this study is proven to affect economic growth. This result is in line with the research of Arin et al (2019) that several budget policy variables have a close relationship with economic growth in the short and medium term. If local governments support tourism development by increasing tourism budgets and building tourism supporting infrastructure, more optimal economic growth can be achieved.…”

“…If the local taxation policy implementation does not affect PAD, then its effect on economic growth also tends to be suboptimal. Research by Arin et al (2019) explained that it was necessary to adjust tax policy with income to produce optimal economic growth. By assuming local taxation policies can affect PAD, the sevents hypothesis built in this study is: H7: PAD plays a role in mediating the indirect effect of taxation policies on regional economic growth.…”

“…Throughout the last two decades a number of prominent papers have contributed to this strand of literature, simultaneously extending the application of the BMA from simple cross-sectional regression to static and dynamic, even potentially non-linear panel approaches, e.g., [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. BMA is also quite extensively used for macroeconomic analyses and forecasts [30][31][32][33]. In turn, the application of BMA is far less frequent in the financial literature.…”

“…Recent literature recognizes the importance of fiscal policy on economic growth (Arin et al 2019 ; Attinasi and Klemm 2016 ). In particular, there is evidence that high levels of public debt are associated with low growth.…”
