| Abstract: | The authors study the cyclical properties of U.S. state and local government fiscal policy. The budget surpluses of both are procyclical over short- and medium-term horizons. Procyclical surpluses are the result of strongly procyclical revenue and weakly procyclical expenditure. These results hold whether aggregate (U.S.-wide) fluctuations are controlled for or not. |
