This paper examines the effect of fiscal policy on economic growth and inflation by using government expenditure and taxes. For this purpose, selected data from developing countries is used for the period 1990-2011. PVAR approach has been applied to study the effect of shocks on macro variables. The results of impulse response function and variance decomposition implies that economic growth will increase through government expenditure shock in short term, but in long term it is the opposite. The government expenditure shock decrease inflation. Shock of taxes, in short run, promotes slightly economic growth and in long term have no effect on growth. Moreover, at the beginning of the period, inflation is reduced following total tax shocks, but it slightly is increased in subsequent periods.

Abstract. What narrative is deemed most compelling to justify anti-immigrant sentiments when a country’s economy is not a cause for concern? We predicted that flourishing economies constrain the viability of realistic threat arguments. We found support for this prediction in an experiment in which participants were asked to take on the role of speechwriter for a leader with an anti-immigrant message (N = 75). As predicted, a greater percentage of realistic threat arguments and fewer symbolic threat arguments were generated in a condition in which the economy was expected to decline than when it was expected to grow or a baseline condition. Perhaps more interesting, in the economic growth condition, the percentage realistic entitlements and symbolic threat arguments generated were higher than when the economy was declining. We conclude that threat narratives to provide a legitimizing discourse for anti-immigrant sentiments are tailored to the economic context.
