Which Size and Evolution of the Government Expenditure Multiplier in France (1980-2010)?

Abstract: L'importance des plans de relance budgétaire qui ont été mis en oeuvre dans la plupart des économies avancées depuis le déclenchement de la crise financière et la vitesse à laquelle les budgets des États sont maintenant consolidés en Europe a donné une nouvelle actualité au débat sur le multiplicateur de dépenses publiques. Cette étude est centrée sur l'effet des dépenses publiques en biens et services. En utilisant la procédure d'identification des chocs de dépenses publiques proposée par Blanchard et Perotti… Show more

“…A comparison to the spending multipliers found in the empirical literature (Comission, 2012 andCleaud et al, 2014) show that my findings on the individual country multipliers and the conclusions drawn from a comparison to the estimated area-level aggregate are in line with those. Bearing in mind that their sample period is shorter , which excludes the important periods of oil shocks and sovereign debt crises, and that the identification strategy is not as robust as in the case of this paper, Germany and Spain remain as the heaviest weights in the aggregate multiplier.…”

“…The values exceed 4 and are statistically significant across the entire horizon. Literature suggests that the multiplier of government consumption in France is greater than 1, for example, according to Pusch (2012) with the model based on input-output tables and Cléaud et al (2013) and Batini et al (2012) based on the VAR methodology. The reasons for the higher value of the multiplier of government consumption in France can be found in the relatively strong role of the state in the French economy.…”

“…Reassuringly, the multipliers for total government spending estimated in this section for the four largest countries and the euro area similar in magnitude to those 18 Spanish data comes from de Castro et al (2017), German data is obtained from Tenhofen et al (2010), Italian data is taken from Giordano et al (2007), while euro area data is explained in Burriel et al (2010). For the case of France, we use the results from Cleaud et al (2014) (absent in European Commission (2012). 19 The responses yt are converted to multipliers by dividing the area below the response function of yt by the area below the response function of gt and then re-scaled by the sample average ratio of nominal government spending to nominal output.…”

“…11 In the case of government spending, the output elasticity is assumed to be 0 (αg,y = 0), the price elasticity is assumed to be −0.5 for all countries (αg,p = −0.5), following Perotti (2005), with the exception of France, where αg,p = 0, as in Cleaud et al (2014), while the interest rate elasticity is assumed to be 0 (αg,R = 0).…”
