“…These jurisdictions experience highly volatile revenues and are, therefore, more likely to benefit from a rule (Céspedes and Velasco, 2014). Using numerical simulations for a stylized oil-producing country, Maliszewski (2009) concludes that ad hoc savings rules perform poorly, but Engel et al (2011) and Landon and Smith (2015) find considerable benefit from the use of simple savings rules for commodity exporters.…”

“…This form of utility function has been used in many studies that assess the benefit of a reduction in consumption volatility or the welfare consequences of uncertainty. See, for example,Morduch (1995),Ghosh and Ostry (1997),Lucas (2003),Pallage and Robe (2003),Barlevy (2004),Durdu et al (2009),Maliszewski (2009),Barro (2009),Bems and Carvalho Filho (2011),Borensztein et al (2013) andCéspedes and Velasco (2014). With this form of the utility function, there are no economies of scale associated with government spending and no public good aspects to spending.…”

“…44 Maliszewski (2009) for instance discusses derivations of optimizing rules under various social welfare functions and ad hoc rules, but his model has no productive public goods. The same issue arises in the analysis of Engel et al (2013).…”

“…Second, an implied segmentation between current and capital spending (if consumption were equated with the former) would ignore that some current spending also can have a positive impact on growth (and the past experience shows, not all capital spending does) as well as the recurrent cost implications of capital spending.11 Cross-country studies include theIMF's April 2007 Regional Economic Outlook: Sub-Saharan Africa;. For country applications, seeBasdevant (2008);Carcillo, Leigh, and Villafuerte (2007);Maliszewski (2009); andVelculescu and Rizavi (2005).…”
