Sobre el pacto fiscal y el sistema de concierto

En este trabajo se argumenta que la propuesta de Pacto Fiscal defendida por el actual Gobierno catalán es inviable constitucional y políticamente y desaconsejable en términos de racionalidad económica y administrativa. Esta reivindicación sólo servirá para excitar sentimientos de agravio dentro de Cataluña y de rechazo fuera de ella, alimentando así un sentimiento de confrontación que, aunque podría ser beneficioso electoralmente para algunos partidos nacionalistas catalanes, no serviría a los intereses de ninguna de las partes.

Fiscal foresight, forecast revisions and the effects of government spending in the open economy

This paper investigates the effects of government spending on the real exchange rate and the trade balance in the US using a new VAR identification procedure based on spending forecast revisions. I find that the real exchange rate appreciates and the trade balance deteriorates after a government spending shock, although the effects are quantitatively small. The findings broadly match the theoretical predictions of the standard Mundell-Fleming model and differ substantially from those existing in literature. Differences are attributable to the fact that, because of fiscal foresight, the government spending is non-fundamental for the variables typically used in open economy VARs. Here, on the contrary, the estimated shock is fundamental.
