Abstract

This paper examines the impact of the quality of fiscal institutions on the effectiveness of government expenditures. The cyclical behavior of government spending and output is used as a proxy for the effectiveness of public spending, and fiscal policy is considered to be effective, if it is countercyclical. Empirical estimation is conducted using panel data fixed effects method, for the yearly time period of 1996-2013, in the sample of 45 countries. Countries are divided between 3 groups of countries – Western European, Eastern European and CIS countries – with each one of these groups representing a different development stage, to find out whether the determinants of public spending efficiency differ between countries in different development stages. The main result of the empirical research is that in developed countries the main determinants of government spending effectiveness are found to be the quality of economic institutions, but access to financial markets is more pronounced in developing countries.
