open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 330-356, April 2025.

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‐
