To answer this question, this paper identifies 179 debt spike episodes from 1945 to 2014 across advanced and developing countries. We find that debt spikes are not rare events and their probability increases with time. We then show that large public debt spikes are neither driven by high primary deficits nor by output declines but instead by sizable stock-flow adjustments (SFAs). We also find that SFAs are poorly forecasted, which can affect debt sustainability analyses, and are associated with a higher probability of suffering non-declining debt paths in the aftermath of public debt spikes. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2016/202 606 $aDebts, Public 606 $aEconomic forecasting 606 $aStock-flow analysis 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aNational Budget, Deficit, and Debt: General$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aPublic Administration$2imf 606 $aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aDebt sustainability analysis$2imf 606 $aContingent liabilities$2imf 606 $aGovernment debt management$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 607 $aHungary$2imf 615 0$aDebts, Public. 615 0$aEconomic forecasting. 615 0$aStock-flow analysis. 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aNational Budget, Deficit, and Debt: General 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aPublic Administration 615 7$aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aDebt sustainability analysis 615 7$aContingent liabilities 615 7$aGovernment debt management 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aDebts, External 615 7$aFiscal policy 676 $a336.34 700 $aJaramillo$b Laura$01094952 701 $aMulas-Granados$b Carlos$0502576 701 $aKimani$b Elijah$01452672 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154899003321 996 $aThe Blind Side of Public Debt Spikes$93654634 997 $aUNINA
