Abstract: In this paper we contribute to the long literature on how fiscal policy affects the real economy. In particular, we focus on how government consumption affects private consumption for a pool of European economies. We estimate panel vector error correction models between the two consumption variables for the EU 28 + Norway and Switzerland, for the two periods before and after 2008. The results show that government consumption affects private consumption differently in the periods before and after 2008. This means an increase in government consumption could have a positive impact on private consumption.
