Nonlinear fiscal multiplier controlling for policy and economic regimes
控制政策与经济体制的非线性财政乘数
A new form of the fiscal multiplier suited to data expressed as gross growth rates is proposed, together with a structural vector autoregression that isolates discretionary fiscal policy from regime and rule-based components. Because cumulating growth-rate responses over a horizon involves a product rather than a sum, the proposed multiplier is multiplicative: both numerator and denominator are polynomials in the size of the fiscal impulse, so the multiplier varies…
