Our method generalizes the pen-and-paper solutions by allowing for endogenous persistence while maintaining tractability and ...

Our baseline results show that contractionary fiscal shocks larger than 3% of GDP generate a negative effect of more than 5.5% on GDP even after 15 years. Evidence is also found linking austerity to smaller capital stock and total hours worked in the long‐
