THE IMPACT OF BUDGET DEFICITS ON REAL INTEREST RATES: AN INTERNATIONAL EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION

International Economic Journal, 1989, vol. 3, issue 2, pages 17-25

Abstract: In this study, an attempt is made to assess the empirical relationship between the short-term real rate of interest and government budget deficit for five industrialized countries during the period of 1965Q1--1985Q4. Contrary to the conclusions reported earlier by some, the results do not support a statistically significant relationship between budget deficit spending and the real interest rate. Alternative estimations of the basic model with money supply and government spending as other determinants of the real interest rate did not alter the fundamental conclusion reached. [310]
