Fiscal policies in Europe IV

Client/Funding Institution

Austrian Chamber of Labour

Abstract

In this project, we assessed fiscal policies and their macroeconomic effects in the European Union and paid particular attention to Austrian fiscal policy in the European context. Our research was primarily based on using quantitative data and methods, which allowed us to take a comparative, European-wide perspective. In three sub-projects, we analysed the cyclical sensitivity of government spending in Austria (sub-project 1), the reform options for fiscal rules in the context of European debates (sub-project 2) and full employment issues linked to fiscal policy in Austria and the EU (sub-project 3).
