Abstract

This paper extends the analysis carried out in Tronzano (2017) reassessing the sustainability of Poland’s public finances in a stochastic environment. A single-step multicointegration test detects the existence of first-order cointegration between revenues and expenditures flows. However, these fiscal variables are not multicointegrated, thus violating a crucial condition for fiscal sustainability in a stochastic environment. Overall, this empirical evidence supports the policy implications outlined in Tronzano (2017) (further fiscal consolidation and a more balanced fiscal-mix between revenues and expenditures). A further implication is that the above guidelines should be implemented introducing a systematic policy reaction to contingent disequilibria in public debt. La sostenibilità delle finanze pubbliche in Polonia: una nuova verifica empirica basata su un approccio di multicointegrazione L’articolo estende l’analisi condotta in Tronzano (2017) riesaminando la sostenibilità delle finanze pubbliche in Polonia nell’ambito di un contesto stocastico. Il test di multicointegrazione segnala l’esistenza di cointegrazione tra i flussi di entrate e spese pubbliche. Tuttavia queste variabili fiscali non sono multicointegrate, e questo risultato segnala il mancato rispetto di una condizione importante per la sostenibilità della politica fiscale in un contesto stocastico. Nel complesso, questa nuova evidenza empirica supporta le implicazioni di politica fiscale ottenute in Tronzano (2017) (necessità di un ulteriore consolidamento fiscale e di un mix di politica fiscale più bilanciato tra entrate e spese). Una ulteriore implicazione è che questa strategia dovrebbe essere condotta introducendo una reazione sistematica della politica fiscale a squilibri imprevisti nella dinamica del debito pubblico.
