The Government Spending Multiplier at the Zero Lower Bound: Evidence from the Euro Area
No full textWe use an Interacted Panel Vector Autoregressive (IPVAR) model,
to investigate the effects of a government spending shock when
the interest rate is at zero lower bound (ZLB). We also compare the
responses of variables of interest at the ZLB with what we get when a
government spending shock occurs in normal times (i.e. when the interest
rate is larger than 0.25). We identify the government spending
shock by sign restrictions and use the European Commission forecasts of government expenditure to account for fiscal foresight. For the baseline
specification we find lower multipliers in times in which the ZLB
is binding. However, fiscal foresight is not the only problem in fiscal
VARs related to limited information problems. Usually, VAR models
can only consider a limited number of variables due to degree of freedom
problems. Several authors have shown (see Stock and Watson
(2005) for a survey) how principal components extracted from a larger
number of variables, can approximate unobserved factors driving
most (if not all) of the macroeconomic variables. Therefore, we develop
a Factor-Augmented IPVAR model (FAIPVAR) and find that the
multipliers are very similar among states, ranging between 1.08 and
1.41 at the ZLB and between 1.26 and 1.39 away from it. We also divide
our sample, considering two groups of countries in terms of high
and low debt-to-GDP ratios. We find that countries with high levels of
debt-to-GDP ratio show relatively lower multipliers. Considering the
FAIPVAR model, the government spending multiplier ranges between
2.69 and 3.54 for core countries and between 0.82 and 1.37 for peripheral
countries. Therefore, our findings support some recent studies,
which suggest that the government spending multiplier is even larger
if the debt-to-GDP ratio is low
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
