We provide explicit solutions for government spending multipliers during a liquidity trap and within a fixed exchange regime using standard closed and open-economy models. We confirm the potential for large multipliers during liquidity traps. For a currency union, we show that self-financed...

We use Bayesian prior and posterior analysis of a monetary DSGE model, extended to include fiscal details and two distinct monetary-fiscal policy regimes, to quantify government spending multipliers in U.S. data. The combination of model specification, observable data, and relatively diffuse...

The fiscal “multiplier” seeks to measure how many additional dollars of output are gained or lost for each dollar of … fiscal expansion or contraction. In practice, the multiplier at any point in time depends on the monetary policy response and …-based approach, we show how to quantify the importance of these monetary-fiscal interactions. In the data, the fiscal multiplier …

This paper evaluates whether the cyclical pattern of fiscal policy can affect growth. We first build a simple endogenous growth model where entrepreneurs can invest either in short-run projects or in long-term growth enhancing projects. Long-term projects involve a liquidity risk which credit...

We measure the size of the fiscal multiplier using a heterogeneous-agent model with incomplete markets, capital and ….We find that market incompleteness is key to determining the size of the fiscal multiplier, which is uniquely determined in … our model for any combination of fiscal and monetary policies of interest. The multiplier is 1.34 if deficit-financed and …

This paper takes stock of what we have learned from the “Renaissance” in fiscal research in the ten years since the financial crisis. I first summarize the new innovations in methodology and discuss the various strengths and weaknesses of the main approaches. Reviewing the estimates, I come...
