Fiscal Policy in a Structural CGE Model: Simulations for the Netherlands of the 19800S

ABSTRACTIn discussing unemployment problems the current literature tends to emphasise supply shocks and real wage rigidity, hysteresis, failure of relative wages to adjust to market conditions and labour market regulations as important reasons of unemployment. By making a comparative study of the unemployment problems in the Netherlands and Norway, this study emphasises the protection of industries, real interest rates and government fiscal policy as important factors explaining the difference in unemployment between the two countries.

A brief account of Bodin’s presence at Henri III’s discussion group, the ‘Académie du Palais’, prefaces a review of the Angevin’s activities as a deputy at the Blois Estates-general (1576), an assembly convened amid confrontation, in France between the newly formed Catholic League and the Huguenot confederacy, and in Europe at large between Spain’s regime in the Netherlands and rebels against that regime. Based primarily on Bodin’s own journal of the Estates, the review highlights the debates at the assembly over religious and fiscal policy, in both of which the Angevin made significant interventions. The chapter then notes his association with the Duke of Anjou and the so-called politiques, before embarking on a substantial account followed by a critical evaluation of his notorious work on witchcraft, the Démonomanie.

Abstract We test the relationship between the cyclically adjusted primary balance and alternative indicators of cyclical conditions for the euro area and 18 OECD countries over the period 1970-2009. A countercyclical stance of discretionary fiscal policy is found during bad times after 1999 in the euro area as a whole and in a few member countries only (France, Ireland and The Netherlands). It is also associated with high public deficits or low public debts. There is no significant case of procyclical fiscal policy after 1999, neither in good times nor in bad times.
