  • Estimating the Effects of Fiscal Policy in OECD Countries

    Estimating the Effects of Fiscal Policy in OECD Countries

    Estimating the e®ects of ¯scal policy in OECD countries Roberto Perotti¤ This version: November 2004 Abstract This paper studies the e®ects of ¯scal policy on GDP, in°ation and interest rates in 5 OECD countries, using a structural Vector Autoregression approach. Its main results can be summarized as follows: 1) The e®ects of ¯scal policy on GDP tend to be small: government spending multipliers larger than 1 can be estimated only in the US in the pre-1980 period. 2) There is no evidence that tax cuts work faster or more e®ectively than spending increases. 3) The e®ects of government spending shocks and tax cuts on GDP and its components have become substantially weaker over time; in the post-1980 period these e®ects are mostly negative, particularly on private investment. 4) Only in the post-1980 period is there evidence of positive e®ects of government spending on long interest rates. In fact, when the real interest rate is held constant in the impulse responses, much of the decline in the response of GDP in the post-1980 period in the US and UK disappears. 5) Under plausible values of its price elasticity, government spending typically has small e®ects on in°ation. 6) Both the decline in the variance of the ¯scal shocks and the change in their transmission mechanism contribute to the decline in the variance of GDP after 1980. ¤IGIER - Universitµa Bocconi and Centre for Economic Policy Research.

  • The National Accounts, GDP and the 'Growthmen'

    The National Accounts, GDP and the 'Growthmen'

    The National Accounts, GDP and the ‘Growthmen’ Geoff Tily January 2015 The National Accounts, GDP and the ‘Growthmen’ A review essay of Diane Coyle GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History, 2013 By Geoff Tily Reading GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History by Diane Coyle (2013) led to the question –when and how did GDP growth become the central focus of policymaking? Younger readers may be more surprised by the answers than older ones, with the details not commonplace in conventional histories of post-war policy. 2 Abstract It is apt to start with Keynes, who played a far greater role in the creation and construction of National Accounts than is usually recognised, doing so in part to aid his own theoretical and practical initiatives. These were not concerned with growth, but with raising the level of activity and employment. The accounts were one of several means to this end. Coyle rightly bemoans real GDP growth as the end of policy, but that was not the original intention. Moreover Coyle adheres to a theoretical view where outcomes can only improve through gains in productivity, i.e. growth in output per unit of whatever input, which seems inseparable from GDP growth. The analysis also touches on the implications for theory and policy doctrine in practice. Most obviously Keynes’s approach was rejected on the ground of practical application. The emphasis on growth and an associated supply- orientation for policy seemingly became embedded through the OECD formally from 1961 and then in the UK via the National Economic Development Corporation of the 1960s (the relationships between these initiatives are of great interest but far from clear).

    Editors' Summary of the Brookings Papers On

    1017-00a Editors Sum 12/30/02 14:45 Page ix Editors’ Summary The brookings panel ON Economic Activity held its seventy-fourth conference in Washington, D.C., on September 5 and 6, 2002. This issue of Brookings Papers on Economic Activity includes the papers and dis- cussions presented at the conference. The first paper reviews the process and methods of inflation and output forecasting at four central banks and proposes strategies for improving the usefulness of their formal economic models for policymaking. The second paper analyzes the implications for monetary policymaking of uncertainty about the levels of the natural rates of unemployment and interest. The third paper examines reasons for the recent rise in current account deficits in the lower-income countries of Europe and the role of economic integration in breaking the link between domestic saving and domestic investment. The fourth paper applies a new decomposition of productivity growth to a new database of income-side output to examine the recent speedup in U.S. productivity growth and the contribution made by new economy industries. Despite a growing transparency in the conduct of monetary policy at many central banks, little is still known publicly about the actual process of central bank decisionmaking. In the first paper of this issue, Christopher Sims examines this process, drawing on interviews with staff and policy committee members from the Swedish Riksbank, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve. Central bank policy actions are inevitably based on forecasts of inflation and output. Sims’ interviews focused on how those forecasts are made, how uncer- tainty is dealt with, and what role formal economic models play in the process.

  • Macroeconomic Accounts

    Macroeconomic Accounts

    VWL II – Makroökonomie WS2001/02 Dr. Ana B. Ania Macroeconomic Accounts The system of national accounts Macroeconomic accounting deals with aggregates and accounting identities, that is with macroeco- nomic magnitudes and how they relate to each other by definition. Macroeconomic accounting does not explain how each magnitude changes as a result of a change in other magnitudes. This will be the task of macroeconomic analysis, that we will look at in the next units of the course. In this first unit, we just deal with definitions. All that we say will therefore always hold by definition. The purpose of the system of national accounts is to keep record of the transactions that take place in any economy for the purpose of measuring productive activity and income generated in the economy. Since 1998 all countries should conform the new system of national accounts of the UN—System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93). Additionally, the Eurostat (Central Statistical Agency of the EU) has produced a standard for members of the EU in accordance with SNA93 called the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95). The exposition here will be in accordance with these new systems. Institutional units In the view of the system of national accounts an economy is a system of decision-making units that interact with each other and perform economic transactions. The basic decision-making unit is called an institutional unit, which is any entity capable of owning assets, incurring liabilities, engaging in economic activities and transactions. Institutional units are either households or legal persons like cor- porations, governmental agencies, associations.

While concerns about measurement are not at all new to the statistical community, more people are now entering the discussion and more economists are looking to do research that can help support the statistical agencies. While this new attention is welcome, economists and others who engage in this conversation do not always start on the same page.
  • Employment and National Accounts

    Employment and National Accounts

    Employment and national accounts Employment and population are not variables that people normally associate with national accounts. Yet there is an entire chapter of ESA2010 devoted to population and employment, and all EU Member States produce national accounts employment estimates both on annual and quarterly basis. Employment and population have traditionally been considered auxiliary variables in national accounts, aimed to calculate ratios like value added, output, or labour costs per inhabitant or per employed person. Employment however has gained importance and nowadays it is an endogenous variable in the national accounts framework. Quarterly employment also stands as a key short term economic indicator. There are some advantages in estimating employment in the framework of national accounts. First, national accountants integrate information from many sources (labour force surveys, population censuses, employment registers, income tax registers, business production surveys, labour cost surveys, etc.). A second level of integration is reached when employment is estimated simultaneously to and consistently with other national accounts variables, like output and compensation of employees i.e. salaries and social contributions. Resulting from it, national accounts employment estimates are best suited to measure the overall level of employment in an economy and its breakdown into main economic categories. Not only employment estimates benefit from integration in the national accounts framework. Conversely, national accounts also benefit from integration of employment. This is so because, in certain cases, employment can be estimated faster or better than other core variables like value added or compensation of employees. Some countries use employment in the estimation of the "hidden economy", and some use quarterly employment as an indicator for their earliest quarterly estimates of activity in certain industries, mostly services.

    ! WID.world(WORKING(PAPER(SERIES(N°(2016/1( ! National(Accounts(Series(Methodology( ( ( Thomas'Blanchet'and'Lucas'Chancel' ' ' September'2016( ' National Accounts Series Methodology WID.world Thomas Blanchet, PSE Lucas Chancel, PSE/Iddri This version: 22th September 2016 Overview This methodological note presents the methodology followed to construct homogeneous series of national accounts presented on WID.world (i.e. series of net national income, gross domestic product, net foreign income, consumption of fixed capital and population) covering (almost) all countries in the world, from at least 1950 to today. Introduction Net national income (NNI) is a key concept to monitor the dynamics of global and domestic economic inequalities. Contrary to gross domestic product (GDP), NNI takes into account net foreign income flows and capital depreciation. Therefore, it better reflects the true evolution of individual incomes in a country and can be more easily connected to personal income. However, while it is possible to find homogenous GDP series for all countries and over a long time period on many macroeconomic data portals (such as the World Bank), there are no published global harmonized NNI series. At least two main reasons can explain this. First, despite the growing recognition that GDP is a very imperfect measure of progress (Stiglitz, Sen, & Fitoussi, 2009), GDP remains the benchmark indicator for the measure of economic growth and for the comparison of the economic performance of nations. As a result, statistical institutions invest time and resources to maintain global and consistent GDP series in priority, sometimes at the expense of other macroeconomic series. The second reason is methodological: in the United Nations Systems of National Accounts (UNSNA), NNI is a function of GDP.

  • John Maynard Keynes and the Development of National Accounts in Britain, 1895–1941

    John Maynard Keynes and the Development of National Accounts in Britain, 1895–1941

    Review of Income and Wealth Series 55, Number 2, June 2009 JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS IN BRITAIN, 1895–1941 by Geoff Tily* Government Economics Service, UK This history of National Accounts in Britain is done with two specific considerations in mind. First, the role of the economist John Maynard Keynes—as theoretician, compiler, supporter and user—is addressed. This role is substantial and has been greatly misunderstood or misrepresented by a large part of the literature. Second, the pioneering contributions made at the start of the 20th century by Alfred Flux, Arthur Bowley and Josiah Stamp, and later by Colin Clark, are detailed. The debates between these men mark the emergence of National Accounts as a serious discipline. Their work was supported by the earlier theoretical contributions of Alfred Marshall, and by practical developments, in particular the instigation of a Census of Production in 1907. Taken together, the two considerations tell a good part of the story of the emergence of National Accounting on the world stage. “We are in a new era of joy through statistics.” (Keynes, probably in 1941, cited by Lundberg, 1984) 1. Introduction André Vanoli (2005, p. 29), as Patinkin (1976, p. 1109, n. 36) before him, bemoans the lack of a history of National Income Accounting in Britain.1 This paper is an effort partially to rectify this state of affairs. It is done with two specific considerations in mind. First, the role of the British economist John Maynard Keynes in that unwritten history is addressed. This role is substantial and has been greatly misunderstood or misrepresented by a large part of the literature.
