Fiscal policies in Europe III.
Client/Funding Institution
Austrian Chamber of Labour
Abstract
In this project, we assess fiscal policies and their macroeconomic effects in the European Union, and pay particular attention to Austrian fiscal policy in the European context. Our research is primarily based on using quantitative data and methods, which allows us to take a comparative, European-wide perspective. In three sub-projects, we analysed the situation of Austrian municipalities that are confronted with increasing investment needs and diminishing revenues in the context of the Covid-19 crisis (sub-project 1), European fiscal policies before and after the pandemic (sub-project 2), and explored the idea of a permanent EU investment fund for climate and energy investment in the context of the energy crisis, climate change and the EU’s fiscal rules (sub-project 3).
