Book Synopsis Fiscal Policy and the Current Account by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Fiscal Policy and the Current Account written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between fiscal policy and the current account, drawing on a larger country sample than in previous studies and using panel regressions, vector autoregressions, and an analysis of large fiscal and external adjustments. On average, a strengthening in the fiscal balance by 1 percentage point of GDP is associated with a current account improvement of 0.2–0.3 percentage point of GDP. This association is as strong in emerging and low-income countries as it is in advanced economies; and significantly higher when output is above potential.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Expansion and External Current Account Balance by : International Monetary Fund
Download or read book Fiscal Expansion and External Current Account Balance written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1988-11-16 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes, in a general equilibrium framework, how fiscal policy transmits its effects to the current account of the balance of payments. In discussing the role of fiscal policies in the Fund’s stabilization programs, the paper compares different approaches to explain the determination of the external balance. The model presented here is based on intertemporal optimization and focuses on the behavior of private and public agents. Some empirical evidence is also presented, based on data from ten Latin American countries. Finally, an appendix presents an integrated system of financial, external, and government accounts.
Book Synopsis Macroeconomic Policy by : Farrokh K. Langdana
Download or read book Macroeconomic Policy written by Farrokh K. Langdana and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an applications-oriented text that demystifies the linkages between monetary and fiscal policies and key macroeconomic variables such as income, unemployment, inflation and interest rates. Specially written "newspaper" articles simulate current macroeconomic news on asset-price bubbles, exchange rates, hyperinflation and more. Exercises and diagrams, and a global perspective – incorporating both developed and emerging economies - make this a broadly useful, real-world oriented text on a complex and shifting subject.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Policy and the Current Account by : Mr.Yehenew Endegnanew
Download or read book Fiscal Policy and the Current Account written by Mr.Yehenew Endegnanew and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the empirical link between fiscal policy and the current account focusing on microstates defined as countries with a population of less than 2 million between 1970 and 2009. The paper employs panel regression and panel vector autoregression (VAR) on 155 countries of which 42 are microstates. Panel regression results show that a percentage point improvement in the fiscal balance improves the current account balance by 0.4 percentage points of GDP. The real effective exchange rate has no significant impact on the current account in microstates but the coefficient is significant in the global sample. Panel VAR results show that an increase in government consumption results in real exchange appreciation but the effect on the current account after an initial deterioration dies out quicker in microstates than in the global sample. The result implies that fiscal policy has little effect on the current account in microstates beyond its direct impact on imports. Overall, the results suggest that the weak relative price effects make the effect of fiscal adjustment on the current account much more difficult in microstates.

Book Synopsis Fiscal Deficits and Current Account Deficits by : Mr.Michael Kumhof
Download or read book Fiscal Deficits and Current Account Deficits written by Mr.Michael Kumhof and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of recent fiscal stimulus packages significantly depends on the assumption of non-Ricardian savings behavior. We show that, under the same assumption, fiscal deficits can have worrisome implications if they turn out to be permanent. First, if they occur in large countries they significantly raise the world real interest rate. Second, they cause a short run current account deterioration equal to around 50 percent of the fiscal deficit deterioration. Third, the longer run current account deterioration equals almost 75 percent for a large economy such as the United States, and almost 100 percent for a small open economy.

Book Synopsis The Effectiveness of Fiscal Policy in Stimulating Economic Activity by : Richard Hemming
Download or read book The Effectiveness of Fiscal Policy in Stimulating Economic Activity written by Richard Hemming and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the effectiveness of fiscal policy. The focus is on the size of fiscal multipliers, and on the possibility that multipliers can turn negative (i.e., that fiscal contractions can be expansionary). The paper concludes that fiscal multipliers are overwhelmingly positive but small. However, there is some evidence of negative fiscal multipliers.
Book Synopsis Preventing Currency Crises in Emerging Markets by : Sebastian Edwards
Download or read book Preventing Currency Crises in Emerging Markets written by Sebastian Edwards and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-11-15 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists and policymakers are still trying to understand the lessons recent financial crises in Asia and other emerging market countries hold for the future of the global financial system. In this timely and important volume, distinguished academics, officials in multilateral organizations, and public and private sector economists explore the causes of and effective policy responses to international currency crises. Topics covered include exchange rate regimes, contagion (transmission of currency crises across countries), the current account of the balance of payments, the role of private sector investors and of speculators, the reaction of the official sector (including the multilaterals), capital controls, bank supervision and weaknesses, and the roles of cronyism, corruption, and large players (including hedge funds). Ably balancing detailed case studies, cross-country comparisons, and theoretical concerns, this book will make a major contribution to ongoing efforts to understand and prevent international currency crises.

Book Synopsis What Determines the Current Account? a Cross-Sectional and Panel Approach by : Mr.Hamid Faruqee
Download or read book What Determines the Current Account? a Cross-Sectional and Panel Approach written by Mr.Hamid Faruqee and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses cross-section and panel data to examine the determinants of the current account. The empirics find a significant impact of the stage of development and demographic factors in the cross section. Estimating partial-adjustment and error-correction models using panel data, the paper finds a short- and long-run impact of fiscal policy on the current account in the time series. The real exchange rate, the business cycle and the terms of trade are also shown to have short-run effects on the current account, while the stage of development and demographics have longer-run effects.
Book Synopsis Current Account Deficits, External Liabilities and Economic Policy by : Mr.J. D. Pitchford
Download or read book Current Account Deficits, External Liabilities and Economic Policy written by Mr.J. D. Pitchford and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1992-07-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the policy significance of foreign liabilities and the current account deficits that give rise to them. Current account imbalances are shown to have some capacity to indicate difficulties elsewhere in the economy, but are imperfect indicators and subject to potential misinterpretation. The paper concludes that successful pursuit of internal balance could be an important factor in stabilizing current account balances, but, beyond that, there seems no good reason for using macroeconomic policy to target the current account as such. However, there may be grounds for microeconomic action to remedy specifically identified problems.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Policy and the Exchange Rate-Current Account Nexus by : Jun Il Kim
Download or read book Fiscal Policy and the Exchange Rate-Current Account Nexus written by Jun Il Kim and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By using a simple intertemporal model of the current account, I show that the exchange rate elasticity of the trade balance would ceteris paribus be smaller for countries with higher government spending ratios (relative to GDP) and with more limited scope for private consumption smoothing. This finding may have important implications for the design of adjustment programs and for resolving current global imbalances. It could also help explain and reconcile mixed empirical findings on trade elasticities.

Book Synopsis The Potential Contribution of Fiscal Policy to Rebalancing and Growth in New Zealand by : Mr.Werner Schule
Download or read book The Potential Contribution of Fiscal Policy to Rebalancing and Growth in New Zealand written by Mr.Werner Schule and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulations with the Fund’s GIMF model show that raising government savings in New Zealand permanently by 1 percent of GDP is likely to improve the current account balance by about 1⁄2 percent of GDP. The way government savings are achieved matters for GDP but little for the current account. However, results are sensitive to changes in the risk premium. Fiscally neutral changes in taxes and expenditures can raise output in the long run.
