Countercyclical economic policy response during COVID-19
This paper introduces an extensive database of governments’ economic policy measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and examines the outcomes of these measures. Using this novel dataset, five key observations are documented: (1) Countries expected by the IMF at the onset of the pandemic to experience sharper GDP declines in 2020 adopted larger fiscal and macro-financial packages by year-end. (2) Wealthier nations implemented larger fiscal and macro-financial policy packages, even as a percentage of GDP. (3) High pre-pandemic inflation countries adopted less expansionary monetary policies. (4) Adoption of larger fiscal packages correlated with higher GDP growth rates in 2020 and 2021. (5) Countries with more expansionary policies during the pandemic did not necessarily experience higher inflation rates in 2021 or 2022.
期刊介绍:
Economic Systems is a refereed journal for the analysis of causes and consequences of the significant institutional variety prevailing among developed, developing, and emerging economies, as well as attempts at and proposals for their reform. The journal is open to micro and macro contributions, theoretical as well as empirical, the latter to analyze related topics against the background of country or region-specific experiences. In this respect, Economic Systems retains its long standing interest in the emerging economies of Central and Eastern Europe and other former transition economies, but also encourages contributions that cover any part of the world, including Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, or Africa.
