Fiscal Foresight: Analytics and Econometrics
Fiscal foresight—the phenomenon that legislative and implementation lags ensure that private agents receive clear signals about the tax rates they face in the future—is intrinsic to the tax policy process. This paper develops an analytical framework to study the econometric implications of fiscal foresight. Simple theoretical examples show that foresight produces equilibrium time series with a ...

Fiscal foresight—the phenomenon that legislative and implementation lags ensure that private agents know the tax rates they face in the future—is intrinsic to the tax policy process. Although acknowledged in empirical work, theoretical analysis of its implications is scant. This paper develops an analytical framework to study the econometric implications of fiscal foresight. A simple example sh...

Changes in fiscal policy typically entail two kinds of lags: the legislative lag— between when legislation is proposed and when it is signed into law—and the implementation lag—from when a new fiscal law is enacted and when it takes effect.

We study the effects of government spending by using a structural, large dimensional, dynamic factor model. We find that the government spending shock is non-fundamental for the variables commonly used in the structural VAR literature, so that its impulse response functions cannot be consistently estimated by means of a VAR. Government spending raises both consumption and investment, with no ev...
