A Comparison of VAR Models: Debt Forecast, Starting 2009:III; Appendix BWe study how macroeconomic shocks affect U.S. public debt dynamics using a VAR with debt feedback. Following a fiscal austerity shock, the debt ratio initially declines and then returns to its pre-shock path. Yet, the effect is not statistically significant. In a weak economic environment, the likelihood of a self-defeating austerity shock is much higher than in normal times. An inflation shock only slightly reduces the debt ratio for a few quarters. A positive growth shock unambiguously lowers debt. In our specification, the debt ratio is stationary, whereas a VAR excluding debt may imply an explosive debt path.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/230Debts, PublicInflation (Finance)EconometricsimfExports and ImportsimfInflationimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfNational Budget, Deficit, and Debt: GeneralimfPrice LevelimfDeflationimfFiscal PolicyimfTime-Series ModelsimfDynamic Quantile RegressionsimfDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsimfDiffusion ProcessesimfState Space ModelsimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfPublic finance & taxationimfInternational economicsimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfPublic debtimfDebt sustainability analysisimfVector autoregressionimfFiscal stanceimfPricesimfExternal debtimfEconometric analysisimfFiscal policyimfDebts, PublicimfDebts, ExternalimfUnited StatesimfDebts, Public.Inflation (Finance)EconometricsExports and ImportsInflationMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceNational Budget, Deficit, and Debt: GeneralPrice LevelDeflationFiscal PolicyTime-Series ModelsDynamic Quantile RegressionsDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsDiffusion ProcessesState Space ModelsDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsPublic finance & taxationInternational economicsEconometrics & economic statisticsPublic debtDebt sustainability analysisVector autoregressionFiscal stancePricesExternal debtEconometric analysisFiscal policyDebts, PublicDebts, External336.34Hasanov Fuad1595841Cherif Reda1645381DcWaIMFBOOK9910820495703321Public Debt Dynamics3992473UNINA
