متن کاملMeasuring Fiscal Sustainability
We propose an index of the fiscal stance that is convenient for practical use. It is based on a finite time horizon, not on an infinite time horizon like most tests.

We use this methodology to examine the effect on fiscal sustainability o...

Output volatility, in presence of technology shocks, is not substantia...
