Abstract: | Several recent studies suggest that the response of national saving to fiscal policy may be non-linear. In this paper two data sets are used to search for the circumstances in which such non-linear response may arise: a sample of OECD countries, and a sample of developing countries using more recent World Bank data. It is found among others that in both samples non-linear effects tend to be associated with large and persistent fiscal impulses. In the OECD sample the non-linearity of the response is stronger for fiscal contractions than for expansions. |
