An efficient test of fiscal sustainability

&
Pages 1819-1822 | Published online: 24 Mar 2010
 

Abstract

We suggest using the efficient test with prespecified cointegration vectors of Horvath and Watson (Citation1995) for the ‘strong’ fiscal sustainability hypothesis. Unlike this procedure, conventional methodologies tend to penalize the sustainability hypothesis.

Notes

1We determine the number of extra leads and lags p by testing down their significance, starting from p  =  4.
