FISCAL POLICY DYNAMICS, EMPLOYMENT AND CONSUMPTION

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse both in theory and in practice fiscal policy effects on the employment rate. For example, even if taxation is one of the main instruments of fiscal policy of the government in reducing unemployment, high taxes reduce disposable incomes of consumers, which automatically leads to lower consumption and when consumers buy less, increases the odds that the unemployment increase. To highlight this we used the comparison of a dynamic influence of fiscal policy on macroeconomic variables with the empirical results from an identified multidimensional model. Data shows a positive conditional correlation between government expenditures increase and labour force supply.
