Abstract

This paper reassesses the sustainability of fiscal policy in Poland, extending the analysis of Tronzano (forthcoming) to a multicointegration test allowing for regime shifts. The empirical evidence strongly rejects the existence of multicointegration, thus suggesting that Poland’s fiscal process is unsustainable in a stochastic environment. In line with my previous research and other recent applied literature on Poland, the main policy implications are twofold. First, a prosecution of the ongoing fiscal consolidation process is needed. Second, the above process should be implemented introducing a systematic response of fiscal policy to contingent disequilibria in public debt. Cambiamenti di regime, multicointegrazione e sostenibilità della politica fiscale: ulteriore evidenza empirica sulla Polonia (1999-2015) L’articolo riesamina la sostenibilità della politica fiscale in Polonia, estendendo l’analisi condotta in Tronzano (forthcoming) ad una analisi di multicointegrazione che incorpori la possibilità di cambiamenti di regime. I risultati ottenuti respingono fortemente l’esistenza di multicointegrazione, indicando quindi che la politica fiscale della Polonia non è sostenibile in un contesto stocastico. In linea con mie precedenti analisi empiriche e con altra recente letteratura applicata sulla Polonia, si ottengono due principali implicazioni di politica economica. In primo luogo, è necessaria una prosecuzione dell’attuale processo di consolidamento fiscale. In secondo luogo, questo processo dovrebbe essere condotto introducendo una reazione sistematica della politica fiscale a squilibri imprevisti nella dinamica del debito pubblico.
