At the heart of the debate are fiscal multipliers, whose size and sensitivity determine the power of such policies to influence economic growth. Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis focuses on the effects of fiscal stimuli and increased government spending, with contributions that consider the measurement of the multiplier effect and its size. In the face of uncertainty over the sustainability of recent economic policies, further contributions to this volume discuss the merits of alternate means of debt reduction through decreased government spending or increased taxes. A final section examines how the short-term political forces driving fiscal policy might be balanced with aspects of the long-term planning governing monetary policy. A direct intervention in timely debates, Fiscal Policy after the Financial Crisis offers invaluable insights about various responses to the recent financial crisis. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aFiscal policy$vCongresses 606 $aFiscal policy$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aFiscal policy 676 $a339.5/2 686 $aQL 262$2rvk 701 $aAlesina$b Alberto$0120423 701 $aGiavazzi$b Francesco$0118384 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838365903321 996 $aFiscal policy after the financial crisis$94184881 997 $aUNINA
