The impact of fiscal rules on government performance and borrowing costs
| Resumo: | We assess the impact of numerical fiscal rules on budget balances and sovereign yields, as well as the impact of expenditure rules on primary expenditure. The panel data covers 28 EU countries for the period of 1990-2018. The results show that numerical fiscal rules improve government performance leading to a reduction of budget deficits and lowers sovereign bond yields. Distinctively, expenditure rules hold a significant impact on primary expenditure. |
