재정이 경기조절 역할을 수행하기 위해서는 정책의 시점이 적절해야 하고, 정책의 효과가 유의미해야 한다. 본 연구는 재정정책기조와 경기환경의 상관관계를 고찰함으로써 위의 첫 번째 조건인 정책시점의 적절성을 평가한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 한국은행 "조사통계월보"의 분기별 재정수지 자료와 추정된 잠재 GDP를 바탕으로 재정충격지수(Fiscal Impulse: FI)를 계산하였다. 이를 이용하여, 첫째 재정충격지수가 GDP 갭으로 대변되는 경기상황에 어떻게 대응하는지를 회귀식을 통하여 분석하고, 둘째 통계청의 경기순환주기에 따라 이 지표의 평균값을 비교하며, 셋째 각 연도의 예산제안서를 검토하여 재정당국의 경기 판단의 적절성과 정책의도의 실현을 평가하였다. 회귀분석 결과는 재정정책, 특히 지출측면이 경기 대응적(counter-cyclical)이었음을 보여주나, 경기순환주기에 따른 지표의 평균값은 경기 상승기와 하강기에 유의미한 차이를 보여주지 못하여, 전체적으로 재정정책이 경기 대응적인 모습을 보였는지에 대한 확정적인 결론을 내리기는 힘들다. 예산제안서를 검토한 결과, 재정의 경기 대응도는 정부의 경기 인식 및 정책의도와 사뭇 다르게 나타날 때도 있어 재정정책을 경기조절을 위하여 적극적으로 사용하기가 어려움을 보여준다.

This study aimed to determine the changes in the local fiscal structure brought about by the change in the transaction tax, including the acquisition tax, by the central government. The review of the analysis results proved the following. First, the government's transaction tax exemption policy effectively influenced the expansion of the local fiscal budget. Transaction tax exemptions such as acquisition tax exemptions would not contribute to the expansion of the local fiscal budget in the short run, but may do so in the long run. Second, the review of the effect of the transaction tax exemption policy by the central government on the local fiscal structure confirmed that its impact on the local fiscal structure may vary depending on the timing of such tax exemption. Third, the overall local fiscal structure as a result of the transaction tax exemption by the central government was confirmed to have been influenced more by the fiscal capability of the local government than by the income level of the local residents. In conclusion, the stimulation of real estate transactions using tax tools may positively influence the overall fiscal structure of local governments, but it would also put pressure on the fiscal management of local governments because it is largely influenced by the fiscal capability of the local governments.

This paper is focused on the sustainability of public rental housing policy. We have analyzed the general fiscal conditions of central government, the public welfare fiscal conditions, the public expenditure on rental housing, and the Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) financial structure. Central government fiscal conditions is controlled by the midium-term fiscal operation plan(2010~2014) and fiscal rules. And the fiscal mandatory expenditures on welfare is increased rapidly by the expansion of beneficiaries, but the fiscal discretionary expenditures particularly on public rental housing can be gradually cut down. LH, the dominant agency responsible for affordable housing, is now confronted with financial distress accruing to excessive burden for public rental housing construction. As a result this paper, we find the discrepancy between the fiscal conditons and public rental housing policies. We suggest the fiscally sustainable rental housing policy. Firstly, the construction plan should be realized reflecting the market and fiscal conditions. Secondly, the provsion and financing system of rental housing should be rebuild within the government fiscal condtions and financial ability of LH.

This paper intends to examine the extent of the fiscal contribution of immigrants to Korea. According to this analysis, the aim is to derive implications pertaining to the direction of Korea's immigration policy as a response to fiscal problems caused by population aging. For this purpose, a macroeconomic model is designed to measure the lifetime net fiscal contribution of immigrants in Korea by visa type, age, and other characteristics. According to this analysis, the sum of the lifetime fiscal contribution for all immigrants in Korea is negative. This implies that immigration policy reforms that increase the inflow size while maintaining the current structure of the foreign population characteristics can rather worsen Korea's fiscal problems. This finding suggests that immigration policy reform may exacerbate Korea's fiscal soundness if it simply targets the maintenance of the numerical balance of the demographic structure.

The substantial slowdown of economic growth since the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 is rekindling debate on whether developing Asia should use fiscal expansion to boost aggregate demand. A key factor in the debate is the effectiveness of countercyclical fiscal policy in the region. The global crisis, as well as the fiscal stimulus packages implemented by developing Asian countries at that time, give some clues to this important issue. The region weathered the global crisis well and experienced a robust V-shaped recovery. According to conventional wisdom, the fiscal stimulus packages put in place by Asian governments played a key role in the region's recovery. The central objective of this paper is to empirically test this wisdom by using cross-country panel data. Our main finding is that the stimulus has had a limited but positive impact on developing Asia's output during the global crisis. This lends some support to the notion that countercyclical fiscal policy can help the region cope with severe external shocks. The broader, more fundamental implication for regional policymakers is that the region's long-standing commitment to fiscal discipline can yield significant benefits beyond macroeconomic stability. An important consequence of this commitment - relatively healthy fiscal balance sheets - enabled the region's governments to quickly and decisively embark upon fiscal stimulus programs.

The efficiency of the regional fiscal policy implementation is based on the achievement of target criteria in the formation and distribution of own financial resources of local budgets, reducing their deficit and reducing dependence on transfers. It is also relevant to compare the development of financial autonomy of regions in the course of decentralisation of fiscal relations. The study consists in the cluster analysis of the effectiveness of fiscal policy implementation in the context of 24 regions and the capital city of Kyiv (except for temporarily occupied territories) under conditions of fiscal decentralisation. Clustering of the regions of Ukraine by 18 indicators of fiscal policy implementation efficiency was carried out using Ward's minimum variance method and k-means clustering algorithm. As a result, the regions of Ukraine are grouped into 5 homogeneous clusters. For each cluster measures were developed to increase own revenues and minimize dependence on official transfers to increase the level of financial autonomy of the regions. It has been proved that clustering algorithms are an effective tool in assessing the effectiveness of fiscal policy implementation at the regional level and stimulating further expansion of financial decentralisation of regions.

One of the concerns in the economic policy circle is the fiscal sustainability. This current research revisit the notion of fiscal sustainability for Malaysia using the Indicator of Fiscal Sustainability (IFS) developed by Croce and Juan-Ramón (2003) where we employ samples of time-series data from 1970 to 2017. The findings reveal that 40 out of 48 years, during which the calculated IFS algorithm is above the threshold of 1, imply Malaysia was fiscally unsustainable. Despite having been fiscally unsustainable, Malaysia's fiscal stance shows improvement as a result of fiscal consolidation and fiscal reforms during the sample period. This is shown by the improved calculated IFS algorithm on average, which the value improved from 1.465 in 1970-1993 to 1.377 in 1998-2004 and to 1.146 in the 2006-2013. From the policy front, this indicator can serve as a precautionary early warning measure in formulating future fiscal path for Malaysia. This can be executed by targeting debt ratio and shifting the allocation of expenditures away from less efficient toward more growth-enhancing ones, which eventually would regain fiscal space to counter any incoming economic shocks in the future. This can enhance the fiscal transparency and assist in formulating a fiscal policy strategy in Malaysia.

최근 경제위기가 세계경제의 불안정을 가져왔다. 각 국가는 경기안정을 위해 재정준칙을 도입하거나 강화하고 있다. 국가재정정책은 현재와 미래의 경제상황을 결정하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 기존 회계규칙을 엄격히 제한한 재정준칙은 재정적자를 극복하고 재정안정화 범위를 확대하여 재정구조를 위한 재정정책으로 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 재정준칙은 자신의 재정상황, 정치적 상황에 따라 다양한 형태와 방법으로 운영되고 있다. 본 연구는 성공적인 국가재정시스템 및 지속적인 재정건전성과 발전에 대한 주요 요소를 제시하였다.

Purpose - This paper examines whether fiscal and monetary expansion would affect output in Australia. Research design, data, and methodology - An extended IS-LM model which describes the equilibrium in the goods market and the money market is applied. The real effective exchange rate and the real stock price are included in order to determine whether there may be any substitution or wealth effect. The sample consists of Annual data ranging from 1990 to 2018. The GARCH process is used in empirical work to correct for potential autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. Results - Expansionary fiscal policy reduces output; whereas, expansionary monetary policy raises output. In addition, real appreciation of the Australian dollar, a lower U.S. interest rate, a higher real stock price or a lower expected inflation would increase output. The finding that expansionary fiscal policy has a negative impact on real GDP suggests that the negative crowding-out effect on private spending dominates the positive impact. Conclusions - Fiscal prudence needs to be pursued. Real depreciation of the Australian dollar hurts output. Monetary tightening in the U.S. generates a negative effect on Australia's output. A healthy stock market is conducive to economic growth as higher stock prices tend to result in the wealth and other positive effects, increasing consumption and business spending.

본 연구는 금융위기에 대응하기 위한 재정정책 관련 조치들을 시점에 따라 정리하고, 확장적 재정정책이 거시변수에 미친 영향을 살펴봄으로써 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 데 주안점을 두고 있다. 금융위기에 대응한 확장적 재정정책의 규모는 총 59.8조원(2007년 GDP 대비 6.1%)으로 파악되었다. 이 중 일시적인 재정지출의 증가는 2008년 추경, 2009년 예산안 수정, 2009년 추경 등을 통해 이루어졌으며, 총규모는 30.5조원으로 추계되었다. 더불어 감세는 2008년 및 2009년 세제개편을 중심으로 이루어졌는데, 총규모는 29.3조원으로 파악되었다. 일시적인 재정지출 확대 및 감세에 따른 거시변수의 동태적 변화를 살펴본 결과, 감세효과를 제외한 순수한 재정지출의 일시적 증가로 인한 실질GDP 성장률 제고효과는 재정확대가 없었을 경우와 비교하여 2009년에 1.1%p, 2010년에 0.3%p 정도로 나타났다. 한편 감세정책을 포함한 확장적 재정정책의 효과를 감안한 경우 실질GDP 성장률 제고효과는 더욱 크게 나타났다. 2009년의 경우 실질GDP는 추가적으로 1.9%p 정도 증가한 것으로 나타났는데, 이 중 지출확대에 의한 증가가 1.1%p, 감세에 따른 증가가 0.8%p 정도인 것으로 추정되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 볼 때, 2008년 하반기 이후 금융위기 기간 동안 실시된 확장적 재정정책은 한국경제가 금융위기에 따른 경기침체로부터 예상보다 빠른 회복세를 시현하는 데 중요한 역할을 한 것으로 평가된다.
