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 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aDebts, Public 606 $aInflation (Finance) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDebts, Public. 615 0$aInflation (Finance) 700 $aCherif$b Reda$0882104 701 $aHasanov$b Fuad$f1978-$0882105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461973103321 996 $aPublic debt dynamics$91970341 997 $aUNINA
