Abstract

Applying the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model, this paper finds that Romania’s real GDP is positively associated with real appreciation of the leu during 2005.Q2 – 2013.Q4, the real oil price and real wages and negatively influenced by real appreciation of the leu during 2014.Q1 – 2016.Q3, government debt as a percent of GDP, the real interest rate and the expected inflation rate. These results suggest that recent real depreciation of the leu would help raise real GDP, whereas recent rising government debt as a percent of GDP would be harmful to real GDP. Il deprezzamento del cambio reale o un maggior debito pubblico hanno effetti contrattivi? Il caso della Romania Applicando il modello della domanda e dell’offerta aggregate questo studio presenta evidenze che il PIL reale rumeno è positivamente associato all’apprezzamento reale del leu nel periodo 2° trimestre 2005 – 4° trimestre 2013, con il prezzo reale del petrolio e con i salari reali, mentre risulta negativamente influenzato dall’apprezzamento reale del leu nel periodo 1° trimestre 2014 – 3° trimestre 2016, dal debito pubblico come percentuale del PIL, dal tasso di interesse reale e dal tasso di inflazione attesa. Questi risultati suggeriscono che la recente svalutazione del leu potrebbe favorire il PIL reale, mentre l’aumento del debito pubblico in percentuale del PIL verificatosi recentemente potrebbe essere dannoso per il PIL reale.
