Is it real? The relationship between real deficits and real growth: new evidence using long-run data

Jakob de Haan and Jan-Egbert Sturm

Applied Economics Letters, 1995, vol. 2, issue 4, 98-102

Abstract: Long-run data for the USA is used to examine whether the inflation adjustment of the government budget deficit as proposed by Eisner and Pieper makes a difference in assessing the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth. Using Vector Autoregressions (VAR) it is found that both the inflation adjusted and the unadjusted deficit exert a negative influence on real growth.
