Consequently, we make an attempt to advance this literature through the construction of a ?statistical capacity building index,? and then test its explanatory power on the cyclicality of government spending. Using panel data from 62 developing countries, we find evidence that improvements in this index are associated with less procyclicality of government spending over the period 1990?2012; with the significance of this relationship dependent upon the quality of administrative and technical capacity of budgetary institutions. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2016/209 606 $aFiscal policy$zDeveloping countries 606 $aIndustrial capacity$zDeveloping countries$xMathematical models 606 $aBudgeting$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aBusiness Fluctuations$2imf 606 $aCycles$2imf 606 $aNational Budget$2imf 606 $aBudget Systems$2imf 606 $aForecasts of Budgets, Deficits, and Debt$2imf 606 $aMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic Data$2imf 606 $aData Access$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and Regulation$2imf 606 $aComparative or Joint Analysis of Fiscal and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aStabilization$2imf 606 $aTreasury Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBudgeting & financial management$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aBudget planning and preparation$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aProcyclicality$2imf 606 $aProcyclical fiscal policy$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aBudget$2imf 606 $aFinancial risk management$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aIndustrial capacity$xMathematical models. 615 7$aBudgeting 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aBusiness Fluctuations 615 7$aCycles 615 7$aNational Budget 615 7$aBudget Systems 615 7$aForecasts of Budgets, Deficits, and Debt 615 7$aMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic Data 615 7$aData Access 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: Government Policy and Regulation 615 7$aComparative or Joint Analysis of Fiscal and Monetary Policy 615 7$aStabilization 615 7$aTreasury Policy 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBudgeting & financial management 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aBudget planning and preparation 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aProcyclicality 615 7$aProcyclical fiscal policy 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aBudget 615 7$aFinancial risk management 676 $a339.52091724 700 $aTapsoba$b Sampawende$01450947 701 $aYork$b Robert$01092056 701 $aNoumon$b Neree$01450946 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155014403321 996 $aCan Statistical Capacity Building Help Reduce Procyclical Fiscal Policy in Developing Countries$93650690 997 $aUNINA
