“…Despite many policymakers and scholars agreeing on the interdependence among fiscal policy, real output and macroeconomic variables, a consensus has not yet been reached regarding the magnitude and persistence of fiscal impulses on output in developing countries. For example, in reference to developing countries (Appendix 1), panel studies using different quantitative models predict heterogeneous size values of multipliers, that is, −0.03% (Ilzetzki et al, 2013), 0.17% (Estevão & Samaké, 2013), 0.48% (Kraay, 2014), 0.39% (Contreras & Battelle, 2014), 0.63% (Koh, 2016), 0.2% (Furceri & Li, 2017), 0.7% (Shen et al, 2018), 0.7% (Arizala et al, 2020), 0.1% (Honda et al, 2020), 0.81% (Sheremirov & Spirovska, 2022) and 0.06% (Woldu, 2022) all demonstrating considerable heterogeneity and persistent fiscal impulses.…”
