Objective and methodology
- Analyzes the likely effectiveness of fiscal policy in supporting aggregate demand in Australia.
- Uses simulation analysis, including the Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF), to evaluate fiscal measures and behavioral responses.
Key findings and quantitative results
- The type of fiscal measure and the underlying behavioral responses have an important impact on the magnitude of fiscal multipliers.
- GIMF simulations suggest that the cumulative impact after five years could be close to 10 percentage points of GDP for the announced stimulus measures.
- The announced stimulus measures cumulate to almost 8 percentage points of GDP.
