multiplier is sensitive to the assumption of orthogonality between total factor productivity (non-fiscal proxy) and tax shocks …. If this correlation is assumed to be zero, the tax multiplier is found to be around one. If such correlation is non …-zero, as supported by our empirical evidence, we find a tax multiplier three times as large. Second, we find the spending …

Using a novel non-smooth calculus technique, we uncover previously unknown non-negligible bias components that … "symmetric" bias correction, which admits a feasible implementation.
