Abstract: The issue of assessing the effects of fiscal shocks on macroeconomic variables, in particular on GDP has been the subject of many theoretical and empirical studies in the last decade. All these studies have used three approaches to analyze this question. The first is narrative, the second is based on the structural VAR and the third is based on DSGE models. Indeed, their results confirm the hypothesis that fiscal policy has a positive effect on economic activity. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of fiscal shocks on economic activity in Morocco. The results of this assessment have found a positive impact of expansionary fiscal policy on economic growth and consumer spending in Morocco.
