| In this paper we use local projections to investigate the impact of consolidation shocks on GDP growth conditional on the fragility of government finances. Based on a database of fiscal plans in OECD countries we show that spending shocks are less detrimental than tax-based consolidation. In times of fiscal fragility our results indicate strongly that governments should consolidate through surprise policy changes rather than announcements of consolidation at a later horizon. |
