Budget institutions and government effectiveness
Purpose Do budget institutions play a role in explaining why government effectiveness is higher in some advanced countries than in others? Design/methodology/approach Employing an original panel data set that covers four years (1991, 2003, 2007 and 2012), we find that budget centralization is associated with lower government effectiveness in OECD countries after accounting for a list of control variables, such as gross domestic product (GDP) per …
The persuasive role of information
While the cost estimates of reminders by mail are readily available for policy-makers, estimation of their benefits requires thoughtful analysis. For this purpose, we used data about earned income tax credit (EITC) reminders by mail which the Israel Tax Authority sent to eligible applicants during the period of 2008–2011. Using a framework of repeated letters, we identify those who applied for the EITC in response to such a reminder. Using an ana…
Fiscal Rules and the Composition of Government Expenditures in OECD Countries
Since the 1990s many OECD countries have adopted fiscal rules. After the adoption of these rules, the ratio of social transfers to government consumption substantially declined, and it recovered following the global economic crisis. Using a sample of 22 OECD countries, we found a negative effect of fiscal rules on the ratio of social transfers to government consumption. This finding implies that fiscal rules are effective, but not necessarily bin…
Cyclical Ratcheting in Government Spending
This paper studies the role of business cycles in the phenomenon of increasing government-spending/GDP ratios in the OECD countries. An empirical framework that includes both long-run and cyclical considerations in the determination of government spending is applied to panel data covering 1975–1998. The main finding is that the prolonged rise in the spending/GDP ratio is partially explained by cyclical upward ratcheting due to asymmetric fiscal b…
