Public Financial Management Requirements for Effective Implementation of Fiscal Rules

Chapter 2 in The International Handbook of Public Financial Management, 2013, pp 38-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Well-designed and effectively implemented fiscal rules hold a lot of promise. They may help contain a deficit bias, reduce the time inconsistency of budgetary policies, strengthen the credibility of a government’s commitment to fiscal sustainability and facilitate countercyclical fiscal management. By increasing the predictability of fiscal policy, fiscal rules can also lower output volatility and boost long-term growth.
