Summary: | The handbook is organized around three
themes: (i) basic theory and tools for everyday use, (ii)
the effects of business cycles on public finance and the
role of fiscal rules, and (iii) crises and their impact on
fiscal sustainability. The first theme is central to the
book's purpose of bringing the basic theoretical
literature together, along with a set of examples used to
illustrate particular methods of analysis. The second and
third themes develop the topic of fiscal sustainability
further, by extending it to topics at the forefront of
policy debates in the recent past. |
