Risk Assessment Under a Nonlinear Fiscal Policy Rule

Abstract: In the aftermath of the recent debt crisis, many countries are implementing nonlinear fiscal policy rules, whereby the government's responsiveness to debt strengthens at higher levels of debt. This paper examines how a nonlinear fiscal policy rule affects the possibility of future insolvency in a small open economy. We find that (1) the criteria for a nonlinear fiscal rule to eliminate explosive behavior should be tighter than the ones proposed by Bohn (1998); (2) a country that adopts a nonlinear fiscal rule … Show more

“…In a cubic regression, a negative coe¢ cient on the cubic debt term yields …scal fatigue. In a quadratic regression, a negative coe¢ cient on the squared debt term is su¢ cient for …scal fatigue (Shiamptanis 2015). Using equations ( 6) and (11), the primary surplus (s t = t y t g t z t ) can be written as a quadratic function in terms of debt…”

“…Rather than interest rule, the money growth rule is used to observe the possible liquidity effect and price puzzle. The fiscal policy rule, following Bohn (1998), Chung et al (2007) and Shiamptanis (2015), is specified as:…”
