Fiscal Policy in a Growth Framework

Norman Gemmell

No DP2001-84, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This paper assesses recent theorising and empirical evidence on the impact of fiscal policy—taxes, public expenditures and budget deficits—on long-run growth. It considers the relevance of recent advances in growth theory for low-income countries and compares the evidence for low-income countries with that for middle- and high income (OECD) countries.
