Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognising the regained importance of fiscal policy over the last two decades, this timely book provides much-needed insight into the manifold changes and challenges of fiscal policy and how it is adapting to the unpredictable nature of the 21st century. Fiscal Policy in a Turbulent Era brings together esteemed experts who offer detailed analyses on how the turbulence of the last 20 years has caused a tectonic shift in economic thinking. Chapters consider the resources which underpin current fiscal policy, assessing its overall effectiveness before outlining the changing priorities due to ageing, inequality and the green transition, the financial tools available, and the future of fiscal policy in uncertain times. Incisive and thorough, this book acknowledges that although fiscal policy has become more relevant and effective, it now faces far greater risks against the backdrop of increasing debt, rising demands and higher interest rates. This highly prescient book will be a crucial read for students, academics and researchers studying public finance, public sector economics, political science, banking and finance, and public policy. Offering in-depth accessible analyses, Fiscal Policy in a Turbulent Era will also prove beneficial for practitioners and policymakers working in finance ministries, central banks and other areas associated with fiscal policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources, thereby raising productivity. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and ’80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations, and which propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. In the decades since, the immediate cause of the period’s rise in inflation has been the subject of considerable debate. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Here, contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on the ways in which the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today’s global and increasingly complex economic environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiscal rule frameworks have evolved significantly in response to the global financial crisis. Many countries have reformed their fiscal rules or introduced new ones with a view to enhancing the credibility of fiscal policy and providing a medium-term anchor. Enforcement and monitoring mechanisms have also been upgraded. However, these innovations have made the systems of rules more complicated to operate, while compliance has not improved. The SDN takes stock of past experiences, reviews recent reforms, and presents new research on the effectiveness of rules. It also proposes guiding principles for future reforms to strike a better balance between simplicity, flexibility, and enforceability. Read the blog
