Uncertain Fiscal Consolidations

Uncertain Fiscal Consolidations

Abstract

L’étude explore les conséquences macroéconomiques de programmes d’assainissement budgétaire dont on ne connaît avec certitude ni le calendrier, ni la composition (l’État haussera-t-il les impôts ou réduira-t-il ses dépenses?). Les auteurs montrent que la composition d’un programme donné, sa durée, les anticipations relatives à la vraisemblance de sa mise en oeuvre et à sa composition, l’orientation de la politique monétaire et le niveau de la dette publique influent tous sur la mesure dans laquelle ce programme aura des effets expansionnistes ou réussira à stabiliser la dette publique. Ils jugent peu probable, dans le contexte économique actuel, que les conditions nécessaires pour que les efforts de redressement budgétaire stimulent l’activité économique soient réunies.

The paper explores the macroeconomic consequences of fiscal consolidations whose timing and composition - either tax- or spending-based - are uncertain. We find that the composition of the fiscal consolidation, its duration, the monetary policy stance, the level of government debt, and expectations over the likelihood and composition of fiscal consolidations all matter in determining the extent to which a given consolidation is expansionary or successful in stabilizing government debt. We argue that the conditions that could render fiscal consolidation efforts expansionary are unlikely to apply in the current economic environment.
