Scenario's Debt-to-GDP Ratio Fan Chart: Permanent Shocks, 2007-12; Appendix; ReferencesThis paper applies a simple probabilistic approach to debt sustainability analysis to the case of Lebanon. The paper derives ""fan charts"" to depict the probability distribution of the government debt to GDP ratio under a medium-term adjustment scenario, as a result of shocks to GDP growth and interest rates. The distribution of shocks is derived from the past shocks to these variables and the related variance covariance. Because we are interested in assessing the sustainability of a particular policy scenario, we do not consider independent fiscal policy shocks or the endogenous policy respoIMF Working PapersDebts, PublicLebanonEconometric modelsFiscal policyLebanonEconometric modelsLebanonEconomic conditionsEconometric modelsElectronic books.Debts, PublicEconometric models.Fiscal policyEconometric models.336.34Di Giovanni Julian936634Gardner Edward999096MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464021503321A simple stochastic approach to debt sustainability applied to Lebanon2292189UNINA
