Sustainable Fiscal Policy and Economic Stability

Philippe Burger

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The public debt/GDP ratio in several countries showed the largest ever peacetime increase during the last 20 years of the twentieth century, thereby causing widespread fiscal unsustainability. Towards the latter half of the 1990s, several governments initiated steps to reverse this trend however, they frequently found that their policies were not always successful. This book examines why.
