Fiscal Responsibility Laws in Selected Countries: Main Features 330 3 $aStrengthening fiscal frameworks, in particular fiscal rules, has emerged as a key response to the fiscal legacy of the crisis. This paper takes stock of fiscal rules in use around the world, compiles a dataset - covering national and supranational fiscal rules, in 81 countries from 1985 to end-March 2012 - and presents details about the rules? key design elements, particularly in support of enforcement. This information is summarized in a set of fiscal rules indices. Three key findings emerge: (i) many new fiscal rules have been adopted and existing ones strengthened in response to the crisis; (ii) the number of fiscal rules and the comprehensiveness of the design features in emerging economies has caught up to those in advanced economies; and (iii) the "next-generation" fiscal rules are increasingly complex as they combine the objectives of sustainability and with the need for flexibility in response to shocks, thereby creating new challenges for implementation, communication, and monitoring. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2012/187 606 $aFiscal policy$zEurope 606 $aBudget planning and preparation$2imf 606 $aBudget Systems$2imf 606 $aBudget$2imf 606 $aBudgeting & financial management$2imf 606 $aBudgeting$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal rules$2imf 606 $aFiscal stance$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aNational Budget$2imf 606 $aNational Deficit Surplus$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aStructure, Scope, and Performance of Government$2imf 607 $aEurope$xEconomic policy 607 $aSwitzerland$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 7$aBudget planning and preparation 615 7$aBudget Systems 615 7$aBudget 615 7$aBudgeting & financial management 615 7$aBudgeting 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aFiscal rules 615 7$aFiscal stance 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aNational Budget 615 7$aNational Deficit Surplus 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aStructure, Scope, and Performance of Government 676 $a332.1;332.1532 700 $aBudina$b Nina$01609121 701 $aKinda$b Tidiane$01770390 701 $aSchaechter$b Andrea$0428912 701 $aWeber$b Anke$01063702 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826833803321 996 $aFiscal Rules in Response to the Crisis$94250885 997 $aUNINA
