Measuring the dynamic Effects of Fiscal Policy shocks in Pakistan (original) (raw)

This preliminary study characterizes the dynamic effects of shocks in government spending and taxes on macroeconomic variables in Pakistan. It employs a five variable structural Vector Auto regression model covering the time period 1973:1-2008:4 for the variables GDP, inflation, the interest rate ,net taxes and government expenditure. The identification of fiscal policy shocks is achieved through two approaches; the recursive approach proposed by Fatas and Mihov (2001), and the structural VAR approach proposed by Blanchard and Perotti (2002).
