What Do We Know About Fiscal Multipliers?

No 10986, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: The Empirical evidence on fiscal multipliers is very heterogenous. In this paper we first survey available estimates of fiscal multipliers to try to understand their heterogeneity. We provide a general framework that allows to make the identification and specification choices made by the different authors explict and leads hopefully to a better understanding of the heterogeneity of results.
