Fiscal policy transmission mechanisms

ABSTRACT

The effect of fiscal policy over business cycles has been a source of major controversy despite the growing empirical literature and international experience. This paper proposes an analytical framework that allows us to analyze the transmission channels of fiscal policy, updating the most recent findings after the pandemic. In this way, it aims to contribute to a more detailed understanding of some of the main mechanisms by which fiscal policy affects the economy.
